What Is The Acne Away Laser?

The Acne Away Laser is a multi-tasking laser that utilises a combination of Nd:YAG and Er:YAG wavelengths for versatility in a wide range of applications. Acne Away Laser’s Nd:YAG wavelength is designed to reach the deepest layers of the skin whereas the Er:YAG wavelength focuses on surface irregularities for a multi-layered effect.

What Is Acne?

Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that occurs as a result of clogged sebaceous (oil) glands that subsequently become inflamed and possibly infected. It primarily affects areas of the body with a high density of sebaceous glands, such as the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back. It is more common during periods of hormone imbalance such as during puberty but can persist into adulthood and cause permanent scarring if left untreated. There are many factors that contribute to acne formation, including excess sebum production, inflammation, bacterial growth, hormones, genetics and external irritants such as some cosmetics or medications.

How Does The Acne Away Laser Work?

The Acne Away Laser uses the power of a 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength that is able to penetrate the deep layers of the skin to reduce acne inflammation by photoselective absorption and heating of overactive sebaceous glands. This specially chosen wavelength also stimulates collagen remodelling, an important step in the treatment of acne to reduce the appearance of post acne scarring.

What Can I Expect From An Acne Away Treatment?

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

We recommend 4 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart or until a reduction in number and size of breakouts. Acne treatment consists of 2 parts - reducing the active blemishes and treatment of acne scars. After treating the active blemishes, there are other treatments available for acne scars such as Fractional Lasers, Radiofrequency Microneedling, Polynucleotide scar, Yellow Laser or Picosure. Our doctors will map out a treatment plan for you prior to commencing any treatment based on your skin concerns, goals and lifestyle.
