Acne Red Mark Laser – Dual Yellow Laser Reduce acne, melasma, and redness with this gentle laser treatment. Most people have an incorrect assumption that acne goes away after puberty. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case as adult acne is something very real and can happen to you - but you don’t have to live with it as this laser treatment zaps can give you clear skin that’s free from acne, pigmentation and redness. As with all health issues, the earlier you seek treatment for it, the higher the odds of recovery, reduced scarring The laser is a copper bromide laser which gently destroys acne bacteria in your sebaceous, and then shrinks it to prevent excessive production of sebum. It doesn’t damage the surrounding tissue, yet at the same time, our laser helps to stimulate collagen growth for an improved appearance.

Widely considered to be one of the most effective treatments for vascular and pigmentary conditions, our Acne Red Mark Laser delivers great control and better outcomes with reduced skin damage and discomfort. It also improves skin texture, targets fine lines and wrinkles, as well as evens out skin tone, resulting in brighter, younger looking skin. Here at Dr Cindy’s clinics, our approach is to aim for maximum outcomes with minimal skin discomfort.

Acne scars, pitted skin, enlarged pores can give the appearance of bumpy, dull skin because light reflects poorly off of your face. Caking concealer over bumpy dull skin isn’t the solution – because what you need is an effective treatment that delivers smooth, supple skin and solves these problems all at once.

Using advanced fractional laser technology, tiny pinpoints of C02 laser energy are delivered to ablate the problem areas of the skin, leaving good, healthy skin untouched. The laser stimulates collagen and elastin reproduction in the dermis, and allows a more rapid healing

of the skin together with a resurfacing of the top layer. This will result in the minimisation of appearance of scars, and a smoother skin texture.

Our Erbium-Glass Laser is one of the laser treatments for skin tightening and rejuvenation and here in our clinic, you can be assured of efficacy, safety and dedicated care all round.

The mid-infrared wavelength emitted is sent deep within the skin to resurface and deliver non-ablative dermal remodelling. The laser shrinks sebaceous glands in affected areas while simultaneously encouraging the regeneration of new dermal tissues. When the healing process is complete, visibly smoother skin will be seen.

What makes this laser treatment so unique is its ability to distribute varying levels of heat to the skin and can cover a greater surface area. This minimises side effects and improves treatment efficacy as its able to be gentler on the more sensitive areas of the skin. Unlike other laser treatments, this non-invasive and non-ablative laser will not vaporise any epidermal tissue, ensuring that there will be minimal scarring and downtime. This treatment is effective in treating scars, minimising enlarged pores and smoothening out skin-damaged skin, giving you better skin tone, texture and elasticity.

After about 3 – 5 sessions, you can expect clearer smoother skin as pores are more refined as the laser shrinks sebaceous glands in affected areas while simultaneously encouraging the regeneration of new dermal tissues. When the healing process is complete, visibly smoother skin will be seen.
