Video about laser therapy for acne and scars
Laser therapy helps treat both acne and scars. We reduce inflammation and scars for clear, even skin.
What is a laser treatment for acne?
During laser treatment for acne and scars, targeted laser light energy regulates sebum production, kills acne-causing bacteria, and stimulates skin renewal. The laser activates collagen production, reducing both active acne and acne scars and improving skin texture.
Our skin therapists always provide honest advice that suits your wishes and skin.
Why laser therapy for acne and scars?
Laser therapy addresses acne and acne scars by treating both active acne and skin repair simultaneously. Laser therapy:
- Inhibits acne-causing bacteria
- Balances sebum production
- Reduces redness and inflammation
- Stimulates collagen production
- Lastingly improves skin texture
During the free consultation, the skin therapist analyzes your skin and scars, and checks your medical background to assess whether the treatment is safe and suitable.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt and any makeup residue. Clean skin is essential for an effective and safe laser treatment.
An IPL or a fractional laser is used. The laser is moved over the skin and delivers targeted energy to the treatment areas. The treatment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. For a combination treatment, a chemical peel is also performed afterwards.
After the treatment, the skin may be slightly red. The skin therapist applies an ointment and SPF cream. You will receive clear aftercare instructions from your skin therapist. If desired, you can rest for a while before resuming your daily activities.
For the desired result, 3 to 6 treatments are needed. At the clinic, you can schedule a follow-up appointment, tailored to your personal treatment plan.
Before and aftercare
Curious about the possibilities? Make an appointment.
For laser therapy for acne and acne scars, various lasers are available, each with a specific action. At The Body Clinic, we select the most suitable laser based on your skin condition and the type of acne or scars. This targeted approach counters inflammation and restores the skin for optimal results.
IPL works based on light beams that are delivered to the skin and act on inflammation in the skin. If many red inflammations are visible on the skin, this option can be chosen. IPL is particularly effective for active acne with a lot of redness and inflammation.
If there is a coarse skin texture and red or brown acne scars, a fractional laser is chosen. The fractional laser heats the skin, stimulating it to produce collagen. Only the deeper skin layers are treated with this laser, which means the skin's recovery is short.
For optimal results, laser therapy can be combined with a chemical peel. The combination of the right laser, which works in the deeper skin layers, and a peel that subsequently has an anti-inflammatory effect on active acne, has proven very effective. With a combination treatment, you receive a 20% discount on the total amount.
Do the skin scan for personal advice
With our skin scan, we map your skin down to the deeper layers. Based on this analysis, we can provide targeted advice on suitable skin therapeutic treatments. You can easily book an appointment online for a skin scan.
