Laser treatment of acne at the ProClinic Medical Centre

Laser acne removal is performed by a laser Nd-Yag, which has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, thus preventing relapses. Thanks to the advanced laser method we are able to eliminate the bacteria responsible for the formation of acne, as well as affect the sebaceous glands and reduce the amount of sebum secretion. After the treatment you can expect redness or swelling, lasting up to 48 hours.

The number of treatments is min. 4 at an interval of 4-6 weeks, however, it depends on the degree of advancement of acne.

Acne vulgaris

Juvenile acne, often called simply pimples, is the result of adolescence and hormonal changes in the body. Acne occurs with varying degrees of severity. There are several types of acne: blackhead acne (usually treated with external drugs), papulo-general and purulent acne (requiring the use of special antibiotics).

Acne rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammation of the face. It manifests itself as reddening of its central part and dilated vessels, which are then covered with lumps and pustules. Rosacea, unlike youthful acne, may have various causes of its formation. These include: UV radiation, hair follicle infection, hormonal disorders, abnormal sebum composition, or even digestive disorders and intolerances to certain foods. In the treatment of acne rosacea, different methods are used, selected individually for the patient.
