Skin treatments for acne
IPL treatment
Photo-rejuvenation to get rid of acne
IPL, or intense pulsed light, is a versatile photo-rejuvenation treatment that can improve a range of issues on the face, hands, neck, and chest, including brown spots, broken capillaries, and acne. This intense pulse energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, which may also help improve fine wrinkles and shrink enlarged pores. After a single treatment, patients notice significant improvements in the complexion and clarity of their skin.
Laser treatment
Laser rejuvenation to get rid of acne
Our Fotona laser offers a treatment protocol that provides a truly comprehensive solution to acne. Fotona’s precisely controlled Nd:YAG laser light safely penetrates into skin to effectively target overactive sebaceous glands and to reduce the risk of developing new acne inflammation. For active acne, Fotona’s laser treatment reduces acne inflammation through photoselective absorption and controlled heating effects. Fotona’s high powered Nd:YAG laser safely penetrates the skin to an optimal treatment depth to thermally and selectively destroy overactive sebaceous glands.The laser also helps in killing the presence of bacteria.
Chemical peels
Medical grade peels for acne treatment
To target the causes and symptoms of acne, we use certain medical grade peels which work to exfoliate dead skin cells, helping to repair surface damage, tighten pores, and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin. They also provide dermal and epidermal stimulation which helps stabilise skin functions and support skin renewal. These peels are designed to improve and correct a wide range of skin disorders, with each treatment helping to achieve a specific skincare goal for every patient’s skin condition, lifestyle, and skin health objective. Certain peels are more specific for acne treatment and can be very effective for mild to moderate acne flare ups.
Microneedling
Microneedling acne treatment
Microneedling can help in reducing active acne appearance. Microneedling is a needle dermabrasion system that makes a series of tiny wounds or holes in your skin’s dermis layer. With these tiny wounds present, your skin will start self-healing. It will also start producing collagen while releasing growth factors. The skin will then become much thicker thereby improving its overall texture. The tiny holes also serve as channels where Vitamin A can be delivered. Vitamin A can help in combating the symptoms as well as causes of acne.
Morpheus8
Radio frequency acne treatment
Morpheous8 is a fractional radio-frequency microneedle. Unlike a traditional microneedling treatment, the addition of that radio frequency sends arcs of energy through your skin cells, heating them up to put collagen and elastin production into overdrive, as well as shrink the skin's oil glands.One of the main causes of acne is excess oil, which the p. acnes bacteria feeds on and causes the inflammation that typifies a pimple. By essentially shutting down or shrinking those oil glands, it hinders the skin's ability to produce that trouble-starting sebum in the first place.
Phototherapy
Therapy for stubborn acne
Phototherapy is an option as an adjuvant treatment for stubborn acne that doesn't improve with other standalone treatments. It uses a special type of light with a specific wavelength to kill the bacteria on your skin that cause acne. The bacteria in your skin are sensitive to certain types of light. When you shine these lights on your skin, toxic substances form and kill the bacteria. Light therapy also shrinks the oil glands in your skin, so your skin makes less pore-clogging oil.
