How it is done
The treatments introduced by the clinic are: Secret laser, which delivers radiofrequency (RF) heat through microneedles; PDT, in which a photosensitiser is applied to the skin and then light or laser of a specific wavelength is applied to reduce acne bacteria; scaling, which removes excess dead skin cells; and peeling treatments using lasers and chemical agents. The clinic describes the steps as diagnosis and identifying causes → calming treatment → treatment of pigmentation and scars → skin care such as scaling, with the method chosen after assessing the acne.
Recovery timeline
The website does not list a recovery period. How long redness or flaking lasts depends on the procedure; ask at your visit about procedure-specific precautions such as avoiding light after PDT.
Risks and side effects
- Redness, stinging, dryness and flaking may occur after treatment.
- After PDT, the skin may be sensitive to light for a period, so care is needed.
- Acne may temporarily flare, and rarely hyperpigmentation, burns or scarring may occur.
- The clinic notes that acne can leave scars if not treated appropriately. Results, recovery speed and the number of sessions needed vary with skin condition, and suitability is decided at consultation and examination.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.
