Acne and Acne Scarring

How does the treatment work?

Active acne

The lasers work in two ways:

1. The laser light kills the acne bacteria that cause infection and which lead to the formation of spots. As the whole face is usually treated the bacteria are killed over a wide area reducing breakout and stopping the infection spreading
2. The formation of large amounts of new collagen below and around the spots gives a huge boost to the healing process, causing spots to disappear with the decreased likelihood of acne scars developing.

Treatment is painless and there have been no reported incidences of side effects other than a slight redness that lasts a few hours, or rarely mild bruising that lasts a few days.

The cost of treatment will be discussed at the initial consultation which is offered entirely free of charge with no obligation to undergo treatment.

Acne Scarring

Acne scarring is the response of the skin when it is damaged by infection, inflammation and scar tissue.

The laser works by heating up the lower layers of the skin producing collagen that stimulates a healing response. This acts as a new foundation for the skin, reducing scarring and improving skin tone.
