Acne Treatment

Healthy Skin Without Inflammation or Scarring

Almost everyone experiences some form of acne during puberty, but it is increasingly common among adult women and men as well. The causes often include hormonal imbalance, excess sebum production, bacteria in the sebaceous glands, or genetic predisposition. With the right treatment, the condition of the skin can be significantly improved, scarring can be prevented, and the skin can regain a healthy, even appearance.

When we say “the right treatment”, we mean that every skin type is different — which is why we always plan acne treatment individually. Your doctor will assess the current condition of your skin and the type of acne you have, then choose the most suitable combination of methods. We take a different approach with younger clients than with adult women, who may also be addressing the first signs of skin aging at the same time.

What Types of Acne Do We Treat?

• We treat severe cystic acne in younger clients, 
• hormonal acne in women after childbirth, after stopping contraception, and in other hormonally sensitive periods, 
• chronic acne in clients of all ages. 
• Treatment can target the face as well as the neck, chest, or back.
   

How We Treat Acne 

Milder forms of acne can often be improved with high-quality skincare, supported by biostimulatory laser treatment or a chemical peel. More severe or chronic forms require a more comprehensive approach, more intensive treatment, and sometimes a combination with oral medication. The methods we most commonly use include:

• Smoothbeam Laser
• Morpheus8 Microneedling Radiofrequency
• Chemical Peel
• eMatrix Treatment

Each of these methods works in a different way. Your doctor will always choose the most suitable approach, or a combination of treatments, based on your specific skin type and the current level of inflammation.

Acne Treatment with the Smoothbeam Laser 

The Smoothbeam laser is a completely non-invasive and gentle treatment. It uses targeted light energy to reduce sebaceous gland activity, calm inflammation, and improve the appearance of acne scars. The treatment is best performed during periods of lower sun exposure, as the skin must not be tanned. In general, this method is not suitable for naturally darker skin types.

• What does the treatment involve? A numbing gel is applied approximately 30 minutes before the procedure. The treatment itself takes around 20 minutes. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly red, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
• Laser treatment is usually repeated 3–4 times at intervals of 3–4 weeks.

Acne Treatment with Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency. Alongside laser therapy, it is one of the few methods capable of treating active acne. Using 24 gold-coated microneedles, it penetrates to a depth of 1–4 mm and delivers precisely controlled thermal energy. This heat reduces inflammation in the sebaceous glands, lowers excessive sebum production, and destroys Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, which cause the inflammation.

At the same time, the many tiny micro-injuries stimulate regeneration and the skin’s own collagen production, improving overall skin texture and softening post-acne scars.

• What does the treatment involve? The treatment takes approximately 30–60 minutes, and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand. The skin may be temporarily red or swollen, but it usually calms down within 48 hours.
• Results begin to appear after 2–4 weeks, with the full effect developing after 2–3 months. For optimal results, we recommend 1–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
   

Acne and Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a well-established method in acne treatment. Several types of peels are used in different concentrations, with the choice depending on your skin type, the severity of acne, and your age. The method works through the controlled action of acids. These acids remove the upper layers of keratinised skin, clear blocked pores, and reduce bacterial growth.

The exfoliation of the surface layer itself supports skin regeneration, helping to even out skin texture and reduce both active acne and minor post-acne scarring.

• What does the treatment involve? During the procedure, a peeling solution is applied to cleansed skin and left to act for a precisely determined amount of time. It is then neutralised and removed. Mild redness after the treatment is common. Over the following days, the skin begins to peel gently — this process helps open blocked pores and purify the skin.
• The treatment is usually repeated once every 1–2 weeks. We often achieve excellent results when chemical peels are combined with Smoothbeam laser treatment.

Smoothing Acne Scars

We achieve excellent results in softening post-acne scars either with Morpheus8 microneedling radiofrequency (see above) or with standalone radiofrequency using the eMatrix device with the Sublative™ applicator. This fractional technology delivers heat into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the natural production of elastin and collagen.
The treatment is safe, effective, and also suitable for darker skin phototype. Another advantage over laser treatment is that it can be performed at any time of year, regardless of the season.

Scar treatment with the eMatrix device is performed only once active acne has fully healed. Morpheus8, by contrast, can treat scars at the same time as active acne.

• What does the treatment involve? The procedure causes redness and mild swelling of the skin. In some cases, small scabs may form on the surface and naturally shed within two to three days. After the treatment, a soothing cream is applied to the treated area. Most clients can return to normal activities the following day.
• Typically, three sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart are sufficient. The effect becomes visible 2–4 months after completing the treatment, once newly formed collagen in the deeper layers has fully developed.
