Acne is a stressful and challenging part of adolescence that can sometimes continue into adulthood. Acne vulgaris is a skin disease that 85% of Australians will experience in their lifetime. It is caused when hair follicles become blocked by dead skin cells, excess oil production (sebum) and bacteria, which leads to inflammation. Features include blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts. Other causes of acne include fluctuating hormonal levels, stress and even genetics.
The good news is we offer several professional treatments and products that help can clear your skin from acne. To help you narrow down the best acne treatment in Brisbane for you, we’ve listed three that will give you the best results.

BBL Laser for Face and Body
Acne doesn’t always appear on our face. It can crop up on different areas of the body where there are clogged pores. The chest, upper back and shoulders are all areas at risk of developing acne due to their high count of sebaceous glands. Our BBL Laser treatment is the world’s most advanced and powerful IPL laser that treat several concerns, such as unwanted hair, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne.
The shorter wavelengths of the BBL Laser, in the blue-light spectrum, attack acne-causing bacteria on the surface and in the sebaceous gland. The advanced, dual broadband light technology, painlessly administers violet light deep under the skin to activate a porphyrin. This will kill acne-causing bacteria and smooth the skin. BBL Laser is capable of dramatically improving skin texture and lessen the appearance of scars, for those who are experiencing acne or those who have acne scarring.
BBL Laser will penetrate the skin without causing surface damage to:
– Targeting and destroying bacteria
– Reducing redness
– Lightening the appearance of acne scarring
