Laser Acne Treatment

As a dedicated professional passionate about providing effective acne treatments, I am pleased to offer laser acne treatment at Elipsa. Acne can be a frustrating and confidence-damaging condition that affects individuals of all ages. With advanced laser technology and a personalised approach, I aim to help you effectively address your acne concerns and achieve clearer, healthier skin.

Laser acne treatment targets and destroys the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts, providing a solution to reduce active acne. By eliminating the acne-causing bacteria, the frequency and severity of breakouts are diminished, allowing your skin to heal and rejuvenate.

In addition to reducing acne, the treatment also improves the overall appearance of your skin. Acne can leave behind scars, redness, and uneven texture. The laser treatment stimulates collagen production, promoting skin regeneration and reducing the appearance of acne scars. This leads to smoother, more even-toned skin.

The lasers used in the treatment include the Diode laser, Picosure, and E light - IPL and RF. These lasers offer precise targeting and advanced technologies that make them effective in addressing acne concerns. During your complimentary consultation, I will assess your skin and specific requirements to determine the most suitable laser/s for your unique needs.

How do the lasers work?

Laser treatment utilises a process known as photodynamic therapy (PDT). A specialised laser device emits a precise wavelength of light that is absorbed by the targeted areas of your skin. The laser energy is selectively absorbed by the pigment in the acne-causing bacteria, known as Propionibacterium acnes. This absorption triggers a biochemical reaction that damages and destroys the bacteria, effectively eliminating the root cause of acne breakouts.

Furthermore, the laser energy helps regulate sebum production. Excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria can clog pores and contribute to acne formation. By reducing sebum production, our laser treatment helps prevent future breakouts and promotes clearer skin.

The laser treatment also stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin. Collagen is a vital protein that maintains the structure, elasticity, and overall health of your skin. By stimulating collagen production, the treatment promotes skin regeneration, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion and a reduction in the appearance of acne scars.

What are the benefits of laser acne treatment?

The benefits of laser acne treatment are significant. It effectively targets and reduces active acne, improves overall skin appearance, and reduces the appearance of acne scars. The lasers we use offer precise targeting, minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. Compared to other treatment options, laser therapy provides superior results and reduced downtime.

What are the frequency of the treatments?

The frequency of treatments will depend on the severity of your acne. Typically, a series of sessions scheduled several weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, we will develop a customised treatment plan that suits your specific needs.

Does laser acne treatment hurt?

While individual experiences may vary, most patients find the laser acne treatment tolerable. The lasers we use incorporate advanced cooling technologies to minimize discomfort or heat sensation.

Which skin colours is laser acne treatment suitable for?

Laser acne treatment is suitable for various skin colors, allowing me to effectively address acne concerns in a wide range of individuals. During your consultation, I will assess your skin color to determine the most appropriate laser for your unique needs.

Is there any affects after the treatments?

After the treatment, some temporary redness or mild swelling may occur, but it typically subsides within a few hours to a few days. It is essential to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by your technician, including avoiding sun exposure and wearing sunscreen to protect your skin during the healing process.

Is there any downtime?

Laser acne treatment is a non-invasive procedure that requires minimal downtime. You can generally resume your daily activities immediately following the treatment. However, it is advisable to listen to your body and take any necessary rest if needed.

How long do the sessions last

The duration of the treatment session may vary depending on the size and severity of your acne. Sessions typically range from a few minutes to an hour. The longevity of the results depends on factors such as skincare routine, lifestyle, and ongoing maintenance. By maintaining a healthy skincare regimen and following any recommendations provided, you can extend the results of the treatment.
