How Acne & Acne Scar Treatments Work
At Preventous Cosmetic Medicine, we offer a range of advanced acne and scar treatments designed to reduce inflammation, target bacteria, exfoliate dead skin cells, regulate oil production, and fade scars.
Fractional laser technology delivers precise micro-columns of heat to stimulate collagen and remodel scar tissue—improving texture and tone with minimal discomfort or downtime.
Medical-grade peels exfoliate dead skin cells, reduce congestion, and help fade pigmentation without the side effects of harsh topical medications.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) helps reduce redness, acne-related pigmentation, and inflammation. It supports healing while brightening skin tone.
Combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to remodel the skin’s surface and improve acne scarring while tightening skin and enhancing tone.
We’ll help you build a personalized at-home regimen with science-backed brands like ZO Skin Health to regulate oil, prevent breakouts, and maintain long-term clarity.
A customized HydraFacial designed for acne-prone skin, featuring LED light therapy, extended extractions, and a sulphur mask. Hydrates while reducing congestion and inflammation.
Isolaz®
A non-invasive, drug-free solution that combines vacuum suction and broadband light to clear pores and target acne-causing bacteria. Safe for all skin types.
Downtime
Most acne treatments at Preventous involve little to no downtime. Laser and Morpheus8 treatments may cause mild redness or swelling for 1–3 days, while facials and light therapies require no recovery time. Our team will help you understand what to expect based on the treatment you choose.
Maintenance
Acne is often a chronic condition, which is why consistency is key. Some clients benefit from regular HydraFacials, monthly peels, or seasonal skincare updates. Others achieve lasting improvements through a series of laser or Morpheus8 treatments.
Our team will create a maintenance plan tailored to your skin’s ongoing needs, supporting both immediate results and long-term skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 What treatment is best for my type of acne?
Every case of acne is unique. At Preventous Cosmetic Medicine, we start with a detailed skin analysis to design a custom plan based on your skin type, acne severity, and goals. Options may include Isolaz®, chemical peels, HydraFacials, laser, Morpheus8, or medical-grade skincare.
02Can I combine treatments like laser and HydraFacial?
Yes. Many clients achieve the best results from a combination of treatments. For example, HydraFacials can clear and hydrate the skin while laser or Morpheus8 treatments target deeper scarring. Your Preventous clinician will recommend the right blend for your needs.
03 Is Isolaz® safe for teens or sensitive skin?
Isolaz® is a drug-free, non-invasive treatment that’s suitable for most skin types, including teens and those with sensitive skin.
04How long will it take to see results?
Some clients notice visible improvement after one session, while others may require a series of treatments for optimal results.
05 Will these treatments help with scarring or pigmentation?
Yes. Options like Morpheus8, chemical peels, and fractional laser resurfacing are specifically designed to fade scars, smooth texture, and reduce pigmentation left behind by acne.
06What products should I be using at home?
We’ll help you build a personalized at-home routine using medical-grade skincare lines like ZO Skin Health. These products work alongside in-clinic treatments to regulate oil, reduce breakouts, and improve skin clarity.
07Can acne treatments help with oil control?
Yes. Treatments such as chemical peels, HydraFacials, and medical-grade skincare can help regulate oil production, minimize congestion, and keep pores clearer over time.
08How do I know if laser or Morpheus8 is right for my scarring?
Laser resurfacing and Morpheus8 both remodel scar tissue and stimulate collagen, but in different ways. Laser is ideal for resurfacing texture and pigmentation, while Morpheus8 remodels deeper tissue and tightens skin. Your consultation will determine the best fit, or a combination of both.
