Acne and Acne Scarring
Once you have experienced the results that our acne and acne scarring programme can deliver, you’ll wonder why you waited until now.
About Acne Treatment
By the time you’ve thought about laser treatment for your acne or acne scarring, we know you’ve tried everything. You’ve scrubbed, creamed, peeled, picked your way into deeper and deeper frustration.
You’ve spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars on various treatments and remedies.
You probably think that laser treatment is far too expensive or far too painful to try.
No ,it’s not.
This treatment is suitable for all ages, whether it be adolescent or adult acne.
With the same pain-free treatment we will be addressing and resolving acne scarring whether it is red, brown or pitted.
Should your acne be very active we may recommend your treatments happen weekly initially. Once we have slowed your breakouts your treatments will be spread further apart.
The other good news is that any other scarring will also start to be resolved during your treatment for active acne.

How it works
When your acne is active, you’re experiencing the clogged pores and bacterial growth that produces pimples. Though bacteria are responsible for the pimples, no amount of hygiene seems to affect the acne activity, since the bacteria are well-protected within the pores.
How Acne Treatment works
Laser therapy targets acne causing bacteria without damage to your skin, and in fact makes it stronger. With less active bacteria, your body’s healing systems will strengthen your skin against acne reactions.
And if you can imagine butting butter into a hor pan, making the butter into a liquid, that’s axactle what will happen with the sebum blocking your pores which can’t. Reduced sebum generally means less acne. Since acne is an inflammatory action, the anti-inflammatory properties of laser light may also play a role in reducing the severity of outbreaks.
Treating acne scars with lasers
The red pigmentation and skin pitting of old acne scars often remain behind after active acne is ended. Here, too, your skin can benefit from laser treatment. Both redness and pits respond to the energy delivered by cosmetic lasers, which creates a controlled healing cycle by warming collagen and elastin tissue in your skin’s middle layer.
Though this tissue is only warmed slightly over your normal body temperature, it’s enough that your brain perceives that the tissue is sufficiently damaged to require the creation of new collagen and elastin. The red pigment leaves with the damaged tissue and new production starts to fill in the voids of acne scars.
Preparation
You don’t need to do anything. We will cleanse your face before your treatment. And remember it won’t hurt and your face won’t be red afterwards.
Aftercare
We recommend the use of products with salicylic acid which will clean your pores and help reduce future breakouts and a simple skin care routine that will not strip your skin of the essential oils. We need to repair the outer layer of your skin and protect it from future outbreaks.

After your first treatment, your skin may purge itself of any pimplease that were about to come out. This is perfectly fine and part of the process of healing your skin. These pimples will resolve quickly.
