Medical & Aesthetic Acne Treatments
Acne Vulgaris is a multifactorial skin condition causing painful, inflamed pustules, nodules, and persistent erythema across the face, neck, and upper torso. Effective management demands a targeted clinical approach that differentiates between suppressing active outbreaks and repairing post-inflammatory structural scarring.
1. Treatments to Suppress Active Acne
Medical Chemical Peels
Formulated with salicylic, glycolic, and targeted keratolytic acids, clinical peels exfoliate deep inside clogged follicular units. They clear comedones, suppress Cutibacterium acnes proliferation, and regulate excess sebum production while calming superficial inflammation.
Elite Clarity Laser Facial
A high-performance laser protocol designed for resistant and inflammatory acne. The specific wavelengths penetrate deeply to thermally down-regulate overactive sebaceous glands, eliminate acne bacteria without systemic medication, and accelerate cellular clearance of post-inflammatory erythema.
2. Treatments to Remodel & Repair Acne Scars
SmartXide CO2 Fractional Laser
The gold standard for deep, structural scar tissue including rolling and boxcar scars. SmartXide ablates micro-columns of damaged tissue, triggering significant neocollagenesis. Requires fewer total sessions, balanced with a planned recovery window.
Emerge Fractional Laser
A non-ablative fractional laser approach suited for superficial scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Delivers focused thermal micro-beams that stimulate dermal remodelling with minimal social downtime over a series of sequential treatments.
Acne Scar Subcision
A precision minor procedure using a specialized cannula or micro-needle to mechanically sever the fibrous bands pulling scarred skin down into the subcutaneous layer. Essential for releasing bound rolling scars before or alongside surface resurfacing.
Dermal Fillers & Biostimulators
Targeted micro-droplets of hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating injectables are placed beneath atrophic scars to lift structural depressions instantly, smoothing the skin profile and encouraging secondary tissue synthesis from within.
PRP / Biological Injections
Autologous growth factor therapy harnesses your body's concentrated regenerative cytokines to accelerate deep wound healing, improve micro-vascularisation, and maximize collagen rebuilding, both standalone and following fractional laser passes.
Dermaroller Microneedling
Medical-grade mechanical microneedling creates thousands of microscopic epidermal channels. This stimulates natural wound-healing cascades and elastin synthesis to gradually soften superficial scar contours and optimize product absorption.
Tailored Combination Therapies
Acne scars rarely present in a single pattern; rolling, ice-pick, and boxcar indentations often coexist. Dr Brad routinely combines modalities—such as subcision alongside fractional laser or PRP—during a single clinical session to achieve superior structural restoration.
