Laser treatments (like CO2, fractional, or Pico lasers) target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen to heal scars. It’s a non-invasive, painless procedure with visible results in just a few sessions.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. A trained technician will assess your skin type, hair colour, and treatment areas to determine the best laser settings and treatment plan for your needs.
Before your treatment, you must prepare the targeted area. This typically involves shaving the area 24-48 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams in the weeks leading up to your session, as these methods remove the hair root, which is the laser’s target.
During the procedure, you’ll be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. The technician will use a handheld laser to deliver light pulses to the targeted area. You may feel a mild snapping or tingling sensation, often described as similar to a rubber band snap. The technician will monitor your skin and adjust the laser settings to ensure comfort and safety. The length of the procedure depends on the size of the treatment area, ranging from a few minutes for small areas like the upper lip to an hour or more for larger areas like the legs or back.
Following your treatment, your skin may be slightly red or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. The technician will apply a soothing lotion or gel to help calm the skin. It is crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen with a high SPF for several weeks after each session. You should also avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours. You may experience some hair shedding in the days following the treatment. Spaced several weeks apart, multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild tingling or warmth with minimal discomfort. Advanced lasers, like Pico or fractional lasers, have cooling mechanisms to keep the treatment comfortable. A numbing cream can also be applied if needed.
The number of sessions depends on your skin condition:
Active acne: 3–5 sessions
Acne scars: 4–6 sessions (spaced 4–6 weeks apart)
Your dermatologist will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
Laser acne treatment is safe, but some temporary side effects may include:
✔ Redness (like a sunburn)
✔ Mild swelling
✔ Slight peeling (resolves in 1–3 days)
These effects fade quickly, and proper aftercare minimizes risks.
Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with good skincare. For acne scars, improvements are usually permanent. To maintain clear skin, occasional touch-up sessions may be recommended.
