What is Acne Treatment and How It Works?

Acne, pimples, zits or cysts are embarrassing facial skin concerns that cause pain, itching and irritation to the facial skin. The appearance of acne often degrades the beauty of your face. If left untreated, acne often causes permanent scarring on the face. 

What is Acne Treatment?

Acne treatment involves a set of non-surgical cosmetic treatment procedures that can effectively treat acne and the resultant scarring. 

The skin doctor first conducts a detailed examination of your acne and skin type, and then, recommends appropriate acne treatment to effectively solve the problem of acne breakouts. 

These are secure procedures with zero downtime and optimum skin outcomes. 

Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre provides the most comprehensive acne treatment in Melbourne with TGA & FDA approved premium products and equipment under the supervision of highly qualified and experienced Dr Shobhna Singh.

Types of Acne Treatment

Here are the different types of acne treatment in Melbourne, offered at Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre, and how they work.

Isolaz Acne Light Treatment

Isolaz acne treatment in combination with deep pore purification is a special acne therapy that combines painless broadband light with vacuum technique to purify and deep clean the pores right from the inside. 

The Isolaz acne therapy effectively treats acne without any oral medications, topical medications or changes to the lifestyle. It is the most effective and reliable method of acne therapy for all skin types with quick and long-lasting positive results. You achieve clear and radiant skin free of any kind of blemishes. 

Blue Light Therapy for Acne Treatment

Blue light therapy is a non-invasive acne treatment procedure that uses blue wavelength light in the range of 405 to 420 nm. This light helps to kill the P. acnes bacteria which is responsible for acne breakout on the skin. 

Blue right therapy is a TGA and FDA approved acne treatment in Melbourne for types of acne vulgaris that have not responded to forms of acne therapies or treatments.

The P. acnes bacteria present in the acne releases porphyrins – a naturally occurring compound in the body produced during the synthesis of red blood cells and haem. These porphyrins easily absorb the light in the blue wavelength and produce free damaging radicals, which destroy the P. acnes bacteria.

The blue light therapy emits the high-intensity narrow-band blue light which is readily absorbed by the porphyrins, thus destroying the bacteria causing acne breakouts.

It is a secure non-invasive and swift acne treatment that also improves skin quality.

Microdermabrasion for Acne

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to treat mild acne, acne scars, sun damage, stretch marks and skin discolouration. Apart from acne removal microdermabrasion helps to improve the skin texture and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the facial skin.

For best skin results, the microdermabrasion for acne treatment in Melbourne has to be performed by a qualified and experienced dermatologist or caustic physician. 

In this treatment, the cosmetic physician uses a diamond-tipped device to move it gently across the affected skin to exfoliate it and remove the top dead or dull layer of the skin. The patient may feel a sanding or scratching sensation as the top dead layer of the skin gets removed. 

This procedure deeply exfoliates the skin and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which clears the acne-causing bacteria and produces new healthy skin cells. The new healthy skin cells greatly improve the texture and tone of the skin and provide you with smooth, radiant and youthful skin.

Post-treatment the cosmetic physician will advise you to wear sunscreen to prevent any sun damage or pigmentation on the newly exfoliated skin.

TheraClear Acne Treatment

theraClear acne treatment effectively treats inflammatory and cystic acne. It can treat and prevent the future production of sebum. theraClear can also treat redness, hyperpigmentation and inflammation. 

TheraClear acne treatment greatly differs from other treatment methods and provides a much more comprehensive cleaning of the sebum and effectively destroys the acne-causing bacteria. Therefore, it provides a long-lasting and almost permanent solution to acne breakouts. 

ThereClear acne treatment is composed of 2 components: broadband light and vacuum, which work together to clear and clean the skin. The vacuum works first by extracting the sebum which is trapped inside the pores and deeply cleansing the pores. Broadband light then effectively acts on the pores to greatly diminish the sebum production and redness. This helps to clear the skin of any acne and provides you with a smooth and even skin tone and texture.

This treatment can effectively address multiple causes of acne and provide long-lasting results.
