Acne Laser Facial

What is an Acne Laser Facial?
An acne laser facial is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser light to target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. This comprehensive approach helps treat active acne and improve the appearance of acne scars.

Is It Effective?
Results from acne laser facials can vary depending on the individual's skin type, acne severity, and adherence to aftercare instructions. However, most people experience a significant reduction in acne breakouts, decreased inflammation, a reduction in scarring and smoother skin texture. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

Treatable Areas
Acne laser facials can be used on any acne-prone body area, including the face, neck, chest, and back.

Is It Painful?
Most patients report mild discomfort during the treatment, often described as a tingling or warming sensation. For those with sensitive skin, topical numbing cream or happy gas (nitrous oxide) can be used. Temporary redness and swelling may occur after the procedure.

Treatment Time and Downtime
Acne laser facial sessions typically last around 30 minutes. Downtime is minimal, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately. Some redness or swelling may be present for a few hours afterwards.

Aftercare
Following your clinician's post-treatment instructions is crucial for optimal results. This usually includes using sunscreen, avoiding harsh skincare products, and minimising sun exposure.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?
While you may see some improvement after a single session, most patients benefit from 4-6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your clinician at Beauty by Doctor (BBD) will recommend a personalised treatment plan.

Results and Longevity
Results are typically visible within 1-3 weeks of treatment. While improvements can be long-lasting, maintenance treatments may be necessary to manage acne over time.

Cost
The cost of an acne laser facial at Beauty by Doctor (BBD) starts from approximately $350per session. The total price will depend on the severity of your acne and the number of treatments required. A personalised consultation will provide accurate pricing.

Conclusion
If you struggle with acne or acne scarring, an acne laser facial could be the solution for clearer, more radiant skin. This effective treatment offers a more targeted approach than traditional skincare routines, delivering noticeable improvements in skin health and appearance.
