Acne Pitting

For old acne pitting and scarring, we do recommend a combination of Micro-Dermabrasion, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) which is generated through the 'MultiLase Med 9 system', IPL and Professional Skin Peels such as Jessner or Glycolic Peels.
The cost of a peel can vary from $66-110 per application.

Micro-Dermabrasion is a great non-invasive treatment for treating old acne scarring. It is designed to rejuvenate and smoothen out the skin surface as well as to lighten up the hyper-pigmented area.
The cost of Micro-Dermabrasion is $130 per session and usually takes up to 25 minutes. We recommend a series of 6-8 sessions once a fortnight.

The 'MULTILASE' treats scars such as Keloids or Hyperthrophic scars and deep scars with the loss of tissue and most of other skin problems by treating and stimulating cells from the inside outwards.

By increasing Micro-circulation and the immunity system in the area, skin cells can easily increase their collagen and fibroblast level to build up new cells and to re-create new fresh skin cells in that particular area.

Laser light directs biostimulative light energy to the body's cells, which the cells then convert into chemical energy to promote natural healing and pain relief. It is a scientific fact that light transmitted to the blood in this way has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital oxygen and energy to every cell.
The cost of 6 sessions of Low Level Laser Therapy through MultiLase system is: $480

Three to five sessions of the Super IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Multilux, can increase and stimulate your skin's natural collagen producing ability. Therefore, within a few months you will see a dramatic change in the appearance of acne pitting and a reduction in depth of the actual acne scarring.
The estimated cost of Super IPL Multilux for Acne scarring treatment is around $120-200 per session.

Results are noticeable within 4-6 weeks after commencement of treatment. Your skin will look different in terms of skin texture; scars are already a lot smoother and rejuvenated. On average, for mild to severe cases of old acne pitting, we recommend 12-18 sessions of Low Level Laser Therapy + 4-5 sessions of IPL + 3-6 sessions of Peels + 2-3 sessions of Micro-Dermabrasion. The number of sessions depends on the condition or the age of the scar, blood supply, texture and color.

To begin treatment, our skin therapist provides you with a free consultation session during which your skin is assessed and the most suitable and effective treatment is recommended.
