FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Are The Benefits Of Laser Acne Treatments?

The Dynamis Nd YAG laser penetrates the skin to the correct depth in the skin to heat and suppress the overactive sebaceous glands. The laser light kills the bacteria and reduces the inflammation of the skin. The treatment will accelerate the healing process and stimulate collagen, an important step in the long-term care of acne and the prevention of scarring.

What Causes Acne?

Acne is a major skin problem that affects adolescents and adults making a psychological impact because of its appearance on the face. It is also quite common on the chest, neck, and back of male and female adolescents.

The causes are multifactorial and different for each person such as puberty, menstrual cycle, genetics, stress, hormonal changes (like menopause), diet, and even lifestyle.

We believe it is important to treat acne as early as possible to prevent permanent scarring. Our treatments work on a corrective protocol by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, and reducing the inflammation with the intention to re-educate the skin to function correctly.

Do I Need To Use Home Care Products?

Yes, using the correct home care products is one of the most important steps you need to take to manage your acne.  Active skincare will help control the condition and prevent further skin damage.  They will not fix the problem but will reduce the excess oil secretion, treat inflammation and minimise infection and most importantly maintain your skin’s health.  We believe the most effective solution for acne is combining your skincare with clinical treatments.

Do Chemical Peels Help?

If you have mild acne a course of lactic acid (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA) peels can be beneficial.  The lactic acid peels can increase the skin’s cellular turnover.  By increasing the cell turnover you are helping to prevent a buildup of dead skin cells, which can make your skin look dull and unhealthy.  The salicylic acid peel dissolves the buildup of sebum in the pores and helps dry out existing break out.

At About Face Brisbane we do a layering peel using both acids to achieve an effective result.
