What is Acne?

Acne is a follicular disorder that affects mainly teenagers. A small minority of those affected will continue with this condition into adulthood. Acne vulgaris is a more severe acne condition and is identifiable by the presentation of comedones and superficial inflammatory red lesions.

Each spot may last up to 2 -3 weeks if left untreated.

Acne can surface on the face, shoulders, upper chest and back โ€“ also known as back acne or bacne, as these areas of skin has the most oils (sabaceous) glands.

This may include topical creams and oral medications. Modifications to your regular skin care regime and cosmetic use may also be advised by our doctor to help you to the right results.

For quicker results, acne treatment with lasers and IPL may be recommended if skin analysis results show that your skin is suitable for such treatments. The use of these devices is medically proven to help improve and clear acne.

Carbon Laser Peel for Acne

carbon peeling

A layer of carbon lotion is first applied to the skin and allowed to dry. This is followed by passing a few layers of laser over the skin. The carbon particles on the skin absorb the laser beam, resulting in microscopic bursts of energy.

This causes mild exfoliation and removes tiny debris throughout harder to reach areas in the skin, thereby brightening the skin. Most importantly, it produces mild heat which effectively reduces pore size, destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduces any inflammation in the skin. In addition, it can also help in lightening PIH (brown) marks left behind by healing acne lesions. ย There is no downtime involved with this procedure and each session takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Carbon laser peel can be combined with Hydrafacial to further improve clogged pores and deliver appropriate nutrients to the skin.
