Acne & Rosacea Treatment
What is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition/disease that can occur on your face, neck, chest, shoulders and back. It is very common among teenagers, but it can also impact adults. It is a result of oil and dead skin cells clogging and blocking your hair follicles, causing pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Having acne can become troubling and worrying, which is why we offer the Acne and Rosacea treatment!
How does Laser Acne Treatment work?
Laser Acne Treatment minimises inflammation by penetrating into the skin and targeting overactive sebaceous glands to reduce the risk of developing new acne inflammation. During the Laser Acne Treatment, a controlled Nd: YAG laser light penetrates into the skin and targets the overactive sebaceous glands. These sebaceous glands are usually responsible for causing acne. Therefore, the photo-selective absorption and heating of overactive sebaceous glands reduce acne inflammation and aids in the healing process to reduce new acne development.

What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is a skin condition that usually affects the face, leading to the development of facial pustules (pimples filled with pus). It is marked by persistent redness and flare-ups, as well as vascular damage to the skin’s surface. If it is not treated, it can worsen as additional pimples and bumps can evolve.
How does the Rosacea Treatment work?
The Fotona Acne Rosacea Nd: YAG Laser treatment focuses on the vascular damage caused by rosacea. It solidifies the blood vessels that are noticeable on the surface of the skin - using the long-pulse (LP pulsation) setting to treat pigmentation in the blood vessels. This is done by transmitting controlled laser energy to solidify and destroy them, which reduces their size and severity. Smaller areas require a single session or monthly treatments and patients will experience a zapping feeling which is also followed by heat. The treatment is effective and fast.
