Laser Treatment for Acne & Acne Scar

This non-invasive procedure improves skin tone, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, shrinks pores, and treats active acne. It also helps minimise permanent scarring and reduces hyperpigmentation.

What it targets?

Acne is a common skin condition affecting people of all ages, particularly during adolescence. It presents as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and in severe cases, cysts, often on the face, back, and chest. Beyond its physical impact, acne can affect self-esteem and social interactions.

Who is it for?

Acne is most common during adolescence due to hormonal changes that increase sebum production. However, it can also affect adults, especially women, due to factors like hormonal fluctuations, stress, or medications.

Treatment Process

Treatment options for Acne can include:

Laser and Light therapy: Therapeutic treatments using lasers and light can decrease oil production and eliminate bacteria.
Chemical Peels: These treatments involve the application of chemical solutions to remove the outer layer of the skin, aiding in improving its appearance.
Professional Extraction: A technique involving the skilled removal of blackheads and treatment of whiteheads using fine-wire diathermy, effectively addressing clogged pores.

Benefits

Treating Teenage Acne

Early acne treatment helps prevent scarring and speeds up results. Treatment varies by severity, with isolated pimples requiring less time than more complex breakouts involving blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts.

Preventing Scars

Prompt acne treatment reduces scarring risk, which is higher with severe cases. Picking at acne can worsen scarring, making early intervention essential to prevent long-term skin damage.

Managing Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Medium-to-dark skin tones may develop dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) after acne clears, while lighter skin tones may experience red spots. These lingering marks can persist for months and often cause more distress than the acne itself.

Preventing Progression to Severe Acne

Early treatment can prevent mild acne from worsening into widespread blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts, reducing the need for stronger medications with more side effects and frequent dermatologist visits.

Long-Term Benefits of Early Treatment

Starting acne treatment early can shorten its duration and prevent it from lasting into adulthood, sparing individuals years of acne-related challenges and emotional distress.

Mitigating Emotional Impact

Acne affects not only the skin but also self-esteem and social interactions. Studies show it can lead to depression and social withdrawal, emphasising the need for effective treatment to improve mental well-being.
