Treatment of acne with the TwinLight laser
New modern technology – TwinLight laser – effectively treats acne and at the same time prevents the appearance of complications such as acne scars.
The TwinLight laser is a new combined Er:Yag and Nd:Yag laser whose light has anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect. That way it soothes the resulting infection and regenerates the skin in all layers, simultaneously exfoliating the surface layers – the epidermis.
This is precisely why it is an effective and comfortable therapy for the removal of acne and acne scars.
Laser removal of acne with a fractionated ER:Yag laser
The powerful effects of the Fractionated Er:Yag laser in the treatment of acne are due to the perfected technology of the laser beam, which is strictly selective.
Treatment with this laser is a safe, minimally invasive procedure for which, using the laser beam fractionation technique, it creates microscopic wounds deep in the skin. This allows the surface layer of the skin to quickly renew and repair acne, and the treated zones in the deeper layers of the dermis lead to the production of brand new collagen fibers with exceptional results in removing scars while simultaneously tightening the treated skin.

What is acne?
Acne is an inflammatory skin disease that most often appears on the face, neck, décolletage, shoulders and back. They can manifest in the form of blackheads – comedones or red and yellowish pimples – papulo pustules.
How does acne occur?
The appearance of acne is caused by increased activity of sebaceous glands that produce excess sebum, which, along with disturbed peeling of epithelial cells, leads to the formation of open blackheads – comedones that grow and cause blockage of the outlet channels of the sebaceous glands by creating plugs, which form closed blackheads. The settlement and multiplication of bacteria on such terrain intensifies the inflammatory process, accompanied by redness and the appearance of pus.
Who gets acne?
There are different reasons for the appearance of acne and they can manifest at different ages.
Juvenile pubertal pimples
About 80% of the world’s population between the ages of 15 and 25 suffer from acne, and the first ones appear in adolescents around the age of 11 and last into the teenage years in 90% of cases.
