Our laser system has two wavelengths designed for active acne and acne scarring. That means we can tailor your treatment to target both in the same session.

Active acne treatment

Active acne is treated using the Nd:YAG wavelength that  penetrates the surface of the acne. Photoselective absorption from the laser, together with controlled heating, thermally and selectively destroys the bacteria within the overactive sebaceous glands. This results in reduced inflammation.

The laser also accelerates the skin’s natural healing process to restore skin quality, health and texture. Collagen remodelling occurs as part of this process, which is beneficial for the long-term treatment of acne.

Acne scarring treatment

The Er:YAG wavelength is a proven treatment for acne scars – and a more targeted and gentle alternative to chemical peels and dermabrasion (this is due to its precision and controlled depth of penetration).

At Hunter Cosmetic and Laser, our Er:YAG laser system precisely targets scarring, leaving the healthy surrounding tissue undamaged. The precision of this system also means it only works on the scar’s surface and does not penetrate the healthy layers of skin beneath.

Upon application, the laser beam is absorbed by the top layers of the skin, vaporising scarred tissue and stimulating the production of new collagen in the dermis.
