Acne & breakouts are blocked pores which form into pimples (red, tender bumps). Most of us experience acne in our youth, but for some of us – it doesn’t end there.

At City Laser Clinic, we treat acne & breakouts for all ages and genders. We look into any possible causes prior to treating the concern so that it is unlikely to return post-treatment.
Treatment for Acne & Breakouts
Acne & breakouts can have a range of causes that are in and out of our control. They are caused by blocked pores, however the cause of blocked pores can vary. Some of these causes include hormones, skincare, shower temperature, and hygiene.
Part of treating your acne & breakouts is finding possible causes of your concern in your skincare & lifestyle routine. This will be discussed in your initial consultation, which is required prior to commencing treatment.
Unfortunately acne & breakouts aren’t a quick-fix in most cases. You will require a combination of treatments which are to be performed on a fortnightly basis. In most cases, 10-12 treatments are suggested for best results alongside a prescribed skincare regime.
Although 10-12 treatments can mean it will take months to complete your sessions, the good news is that you will start seeing results after just a few treatments!
Technology
At City Laser Clinic, we have a variety of treatments for acne, breakouts, and congestion. For best (and faster!) results, our skin therapists will often combine these treatments. To meet your skin goals, we only use medical grade devices and cosmeceutical products to tackle any skin concern.
To treat acne & breakouts, we mainly use our Medlite Q-Switched Laser combined with LED therapy and/or BioRePeel.
These treatments will kill the acne-causing bacteria as well as stimulating new skin cell production. By stimulating your skin cell production, any underlying acne/bacteria will be cleared to the surface.
Please note that this also means you may experience a breakout after your first session.
Downtime
Q-Switched Laser – No downtime, however we do not recommend applying makeup after the treatment to prevent further breakouts.
BioRePeel – 1 week downtime. Your skin will begin to mildly shed 2-3 days after your treatment which will last approximately one week.
LED Therapy – No downtime.
