Laser Acne Treatment
Acne is a relatively common condition which tends to affect areas of the face or body with the densest sebaceous follicles, i.e. the face, chest and back. It occurs commonly in adolescence, but can continue well into adulthood.
The condition can be quite unsightly and cause absolute misery for the sufferer, with social embarrassment and low self-esteem being common side-effects. Even if the condition clears up in later life, the sufferer can be left with significant scarring.
Our new and revolutionary laser machine can carry out a range of laser skin treatments for the face and body including acne and acne scarring reduction treatment which can be effective even years later. With this latest technology we can help you achieve better, healthier looking skin.
Laser Acne Treatment
If you suffer from unsightly acne, or have been left with acne-scarring; it may be time to consider laser treatment.
As leaders in the field of cosmetic and non-surgical treatments, The Hospital Group have invested in state-of-the-art laser equipment, operated by highly trained laser pracitioners.
Laser acne treatment can be very effective in reducing the condition of acne. A course is usually recommended for best results, but you can probably expect to see the difference after the first treatment.
Treatable areas include:
-
Face
-
Chest
-
Back
-
Arms/shoulders
-
These are the most common options, but do discuss your requirements with our practitioner - laser can be used on most problem areas
Acne Scarring
If you have suffered with acne previously, even after it clears up you may be left with scarring and poor skin condition. Laser treatment will not remove deep scars. However, it can be effective in improving the quality and appearance of your skin. Everyone is different - ask for a consultation to discuss your requirements with our laser professionals.
Laser Acne Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
What does it feel like?
Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy is delivered through the hand piece. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.
How many treatments will I need?
Often, patients find that one or two treatments make a big difference. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the seriousness of the condition, skin type and area being treated. We generally recommend a course of 6 treatments.
You will receive advice on your own requirements in your consultation. This is free of charge.
What does it feel like?
Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy is delivered through the hand piece. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.
What happens after the treatment?
Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. In some cases, some temporary bruising may occur.
Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?
Patients generally resume most normal activities immediately. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. As always, it is a good idea to limit your sun exposure.
When will I see results?
Most patients find that the acne show significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent until you have completed the course.

Our new and revolutionary laser machines can carry out a range of laser skin treatments for the face and body
Laser Hair Removal
An increasingly popular alternative to waxing or shaving - in just a few short treatments, unwanted or unsightly hairs are removed for good. This is commonly used for underarms, legs and bikini areas. However, it is also a great option for "hair problems" such as unwanted female facial hair, ingrowing hairs or excess bodily hair for men
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Amazing results can be achieved using IPL technology to rejuvenate the appearance of the skin. The treatment promotes cell renewal and really can turn back the clock without surgery or injections. While popular for the face, it can also be used on the body e.g. to tone the abdomen, arms or buttocks
Laser Vein Reduction
Unsightly veins on the face or body can be very difficult to get rid of, but laser technology can reduce them dramatically in just one treatment. This can be used on the face or the body - where the appearance of red or purple veins is unattractive and unwanted.
