ClearSkin

ClearSkin is designed for those suffering with acne by using a Erbium Glass Fibre laser to treat the skin. This non-ablative laser penetrates the skin and destroys P.Acnes bacteria while causing thermal damage to the sebaceous glands. This reduces sebum production while the skin remains intact. With unique cooling technology, there is virtually no pain and treatment is comfortable.

What is ClearSkin Laser?

Clearskin is a laser treatment which is designed to treat all forms of acne vulgaris including papules, pustules and nodules by penetrating the skin and destroying the acne bacteria. ClearSkin combines this laser with vacuum technology to extract accumulated sebaceous material from the pores. It also treats blackheads, oily skin and open pores. By combining the laser and the vacuum technology, you are left with clearer skin with reduced scarring and diminished congestion in the pores.

ClearSkin is part of our FDA approved Harmony Laser treatments by Alma lasers and is suitable for all skin types. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for all skin colours and those with darker skin types we would recommend alternative treatments such as the FDA approved SkinPen for acne scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions

The treatment is suitable for all skin types.

For those with active acne we would recommend a course of 6-12 treatments at 2-3 weekly intervals. After this is complete a maintenance session of 6 months would be recommended.

As with any laser staying out of the sun and using a high SPF is essential and this should be continued for at least 2 months to avoid pigmentation. These are available in store or on our online shop if needed. Keeping heat to a minimum is recommended by avoiding exercise, hot baths for at least 24 hours but preferably 5 days. Avoiding skin irritants such as chemical peels and retinols is ideal for those undertaking ClearSkin. You may suffer from some redness but this should last a maximum o a couple of days.

Patients undergoing ClearSkin are often recommended to use the Dermalux LED Light therapy which is effective at killing bacteria on the skin and promoting healing which further helps with reducing congestion and spots on the skin and promoting healing for scarring.

HydraFacials are an essential tool to reduce the incidence of breakouts. It is a unique treatment which uses vortex technology to remove dirt and debris deep in the pores while infusing the skin with active ingredients to fight acne and leave you with clear and healthy skin.

Skinade is an excellent option for those looking to diminish acne on the skin and improving the skin’s quality. It has excellent results at fighting acne and improving acne scarring.

Finally, we would recommend that all patients suffering from acne invest in a cosmeceutical skincare range such as ZO Skin Health by Dr Zein Obagi. By using the right protocol, you will control oil and dramatically increase the health and function of the skin. It will control the production of sebum and improve the skin’s barrier function, ensure correct cell turnover and in turn, reduce the chance of breakouts and control the symptoms of acne.
