Laser and Other Acne Treatments

Achieve Clearer Skin with Advanced Light-Based Treatments and more at Indianapolis’s Body Bar MD

Battling acne can feel like a never-ending struggle, with each breakout impacting not just your appearance, but also your confidence. Persistent breakouts—from constant blackheads to a so-called “zit” on your lip or cheek—can mask your skin’s true vibrancy and health. Body Bar MD in Carmel and Terre Haute offers advanced laser acne treatments and more in the Indianapolis area—including the Alma Harmony laser system, designed to combat the problem at its source and help to reveal and maintain a better complexion.
Our medically focused team understands that genetics, hormone changes, stress, and environmental factors can all play a role in the development of pimples and more, which is why our customized acne treatments go beyond surface solutions. We provide targeted therapies that address not just the signs and symptoms of pimples and zits, but the root causes as well, including innovative laser treatments that offer a new lease on skin clarity, health, and wellness.

What Is Acne?

Acne is the term for a very common skin condition that results from the buildup of bacteria inside of plugged follicles.
The p. acnes bacteria live in the skin, where they thrive on eating oily sebum our body makes to lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated. These bacteria thrive in a low-oxygen environment, so conditions are ideal for them if they get trapped in a follicle due to the opening—known as a pore—getting plugged with dead skin cells, sebum, and more.
Once closed off in a follicle, the bacteria multiply.
The earliest stages of acne are known as comedones. A whitehead indicates oil and dead skin filling a follicle shut off from the surface (a closed comedone), while a blackhead indicates oil and dead skin filling a follicle that’s open to the air (an open comedone). This air contact causes the material to darken, creating that telltale poppy-seed-like look on your nose or elsewhere.
If bacteria begin feeding on this material, the resulting expansion of their population can cause inflammation. You typically see this as redness and a bump. You may call them all zits, but a closed-off bump is technically called a papule, while a bump with a light-colored top is a pustule.
If left untreated—or if you pick at the pimples and worsen the inflammation—the follicle can swell and rupture, spilling the contents into the surrounding tissue. This can result is a larger, deeper, and sometimes even painful cyst or nodule. Cystic and nodular acne can both cause scarring, so it can be very beneficial to get help from a professional before any skin problem progresses to this stage.
Unfortunately, meany people simply “suffer in silence” due to embarrassment or a feeling that nothing can be done. Know that acne treatments can be helpful, but that Body Bar MD also offers treatments to reduce the appearance of acne scars. Our goal is to get you the clearest and smoothest skin possible!
Pimples are most commonly seen as a problem that develops on the face, but comedones, zits, and other breakouts can happen all over the body: in the ears, in nostrils, under the armpits, on the chest and back (often called “bacne”), and even on the genitals, such as the labia. It is never a good idea to “pop” pimples on your own, but f you have a suspicious bump in a sensitive area, it is especially important to have a professional take a look for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendation.

How Do Our Acne Treatments Work?

At Body Bar MD, we harness the power of both traditional and cutting-edge acne treatments to deliver effective results. Among these, the Alma Harmony laser stands out for its non-invasive approach to treating acne-prone skin. Utilizing advanced light technology, this treatment targets and destroys problematic bacteria, reduces inflammation, and promotes skin renewal without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.
Our comprehensive acne treatment plans may also include:

  • Prescription or over-the-counter topical and oral medications—such as benzoyl peroxide—to treat underlying causes of acne

  • Professional-grade skincare products tailored to your skin type

  • Chemical peels and microdermabrasion to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, reducing the risk of clogged pores

By directly targeting acne at the source—killing those pesky and unwanted bacteria—our treatments help to significantly reduce the frequency and severity of breakouts, allowing you to enjoy clearer, more radiant skin.
Acne treatments, especially with the use of Alma Harmony laser technology, can also work wonders in reducing the appearance of scars and pigmentation, promoting a smoother, more even skin tone.

Beyond treating acne and its symptoms, our treatments focus on enhancing the overall health of your skin, so that it’s not just clearer, but also vibrant, hydrated, and resilient.
