Acne & Acne Scar Treatment Melbourne

Acne develops when oil, dead skin and bacteria congest the pores, triggering inflammation and breakouts. Hormones, genetics and skincare habits all play a part. Scarring happens when that inflammation reaches deeper layers, leaving indented texture or lasting marks once the breakout clears.

We use medical-grade Fotona laser therapy to target the causes of acne at the source. TwinLight® reduces acne-causing bacteria and calms inflammation, while Erbium resurfacing and FracRevive™ stimulate collagen to refine scarring and smooth texture. MediSOL™ LED supports healing between the active steps.

The Clear Skin program focuses on active acne, congestion and inflammation, to settle breakouts and clarify the skin. The Smooth Skin program focuses on acne scarring and uneven texture, using resurfacing and collagen stimulation. Many clients need both, and we sequence clearing first, then scar revision.

Most clients notice clearer, calmer skin within the first few sessions, with best results building across the full program. Acne and scarring respond gradually, so your clinician plans a realistic course at your consultation and adjusts as your skin improves.

Yes. Our Fotona platforms let us tailor settings precisely to your skin tone, so every skin type is treated to the same standard. At your free consultation your clinician assesses your skin and sets the right parameters for safe, comfortable treatment.

Most treatments are comfortable with minimal downtime, though the more intensive resurfacing steps for scarring can involve some redness and 24 to 48 hours of recovery. Your clinician talks you through what to expect for each stage of your program.

We usually clear active acne first, then move on to scar revision, because settled skin responds far better to resurfacing. Your program is sequenced so each stage builds on the last. If you have both, we map the order at your consultation.

Laser treatments and facials are generally spaced three to four weeks apart, giving your skin time to heal and respond between visits. The schedule varies from person to person, and we may adjust it as your skin changes through the program.

Aftercare varies by treatment step, and your clinician gives you specific instructions on the day. In general, protect the area with SPF, keep skincare gentle, and avoid sun exposure while your skin recovers. A personalised home plan supports your results between visits.

Improvements in texture and scarring are long-lasting, as collagen continues to remodel for months after treatment. Active acne is an ongoing condition influenced by hormones and skincare, so we help you maintain clearer skin with a tailored home routine and occasional maintenance where needed.

Yes. A personalised home routine using medical-grade Pink Skin Care products helps calm active acne and supports healing between treatments. Your clinician prescribes the right products for your skin at your initial consultation.

Yes. Many clients begin with a single treatment or a free consultation to see how their skin responds before starting a full program. Your clinician can talk you through your options and help you decide the best path.

Let us know at your consultation if you are taking acne medication such as Accutane, as timing matters and some treatments are best delayed. For severe or medically managed acne, your doctor handles the medical side and Pink handles the visible side, so the two work together.
