ClearSkin

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. 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.
