Acne, pores & scars
Care for active acne, excess oil, enlarged pores, and acne scars. We plan treatment around the type of concern and your skin condition.
Potenza
Potenza combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy at selected depths to address concerns such as acne scars and uneven texture. Possible risks include redness, burns, scarring and pigment changes; suitability is assessed by a doctor.
Pico Fractional (PicoFraxel)
A picosecond laser delivered through a fractional lens in a fine grid of points, for skin texture, pores and shallow scarring. Each session finishes with a soothing mummy pack.
Rejuran S
A polynucleotide gel used for localized concerns such as pitted scars and uneven texture.
TheraClear
A treatment combining suction and broadband light to address active acne and congested pores.
Gold PTT
Gold microparticles are settled into the pore, then a laser heats them to reduce sebaceous gland activity.
Inflammation injection (cortisone)
A small dose of a weak steroid placed directly into a large, painful cyst or nodule. Swelling and pain usually ease within 24–48 hours and the bump flattens over 3–7 days. It settles one spot and does not treat the underlying cause.
Subcision
A needle is used beneath a depressed scar to release the fibrous bands pulling the skin downward.
Choosing a treatment
Active acne and acne scars need different approaches. Depending on the concern, options may include acne care, subcision, RF microneedling, or treatment for post-acne pigmentation.
Laser toning, laser hair removal and laser tattoo removal may not be suitable for deep or dark skin tones. Laser hair removal may also be less effective on very light, grey or blonde hair. Our doctors assess suitability at consultation. Recommended session numbers and intervals are general estimates. The appropriate schedule varies according to the treatment, treatment area, skin condition and individual response.
Yes. Treatment for active acne differs from scar work and often comes first.
One session is unlikely to address all scarring. Several sessions may be recommended, with progress assessed over time.
