Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to breakouts such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts. It is a condition that commonly develops on the face, chest and back. Acne can affect people of all ages and may be influenced by hormones, stress, diet, and skincare habits.
Acne can vary in severity, ranging from mild to severe forms.
Mild acne typically involves occasional whiteheads, blackheads, or small pimples, usually confined to limited areas of the face.
Moderate acne is characterized by more frequent breakouts, larger and inflamed pimples, and may extend to the chest, back, or shoulders.
Severe cystic acne is the most serious form, involving deep, painful cysts or nodules that can cause scarring if left untreated.
Understanding the severity of acne is important for selecting the most effective treatment approach, as each level requires different management strategies to reduce inflammation, prevent scarring, and improve skin health.
At our clinic, we offer personalised acne treatments designed to target the root cause, reduce inflammation, prevent scarring, and restore clear, healthy-looking skin. A consultation is advised to allow the practitioner to assess your skin and create the best treatment plan.

How does the treatment work?
Laser acne treatment uses focused light energy to target the underlying causes of acne without damaging surrounding skin. The laser reduces acne-causing bacteria, controls excess oil production, and calms inflammation while stimulating collagen for smoother skin. This safe, non-invasive treatment helps clear active breakouts and improve overall skin tone and texture with minimal downtime.
FAQ'S
How does it feel during treatment?
During laser acne treatment, most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warming feeling on the skin, similar to a light rubber band snap. The treatment is generally well tolerated. Any temporary redness or warmth usually subsides within a few hours after the session.
How long does the treatment take?
A laser acne treatment typically takes around 30 minutes. The skin will be cleansed and prepped before the laser, with post-care products applied at the end of the treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require a series of 6 to 12 laser acne treatments for optimal results, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the severity of acne, skin type, and individual response to treatment. Your practitioner will create a tailor-made treatment plan to achieve the best possible outcome.
What is the downtime?
Laser acne treatment typically involves minimal downtime. Mild redness, dryness, or sensitivity can occur, and in some cases, treated acne spots may form small scabs as they heal. These effects are temporary and part of the normal healing process. Most daily activities can be resumed right away, with proper aftercare helping to ensure smooth recovery and optimal results.
When will I see results?
Many patients begin to notice improvements after the first few laser acne treatments, such as reduced inflammation and fewer active breakouts. However, a full course of 6–12 treatments may be required for optimal results, depending on the severity of acne and individual skin response. Results continue to improve gradually over time, with clearer, smoother skin typically beginning to show within a few weeks and the best outcomes achieved after completing the recommended treatment plan.
How should I prepare for the treatment?
For best results, follow these pre treatment steps:
- Avoid sun exposure for 1-2 weeks before the treatment
- Stop use of retinoids and strong exfoliants 1 week before treatment
- Discontinue use of acne medications or skin products - these must be stopped 6 months before treatment, as they can interfere with healing
- Stay hydrated
What is the aftercare?
- Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF50+ daily
- Avoid makeup for 1-3 days - allow the skin to heal and breathe
- Keep skin clean and hydrated
- Avoid hot showers, saunas or steam rooms whilst the skin is healing
- Avoid using retinoids or strong skincare products
- Do not pick or scratch at the skin - any scabbing on treated area should be left to heal naturally
- Stay hydrated - drink at least 2 litres of water daily
