How does Acne Laser Treatment work?

Triple-action BBL HERO fights acne at multiple levels

Promeds’ BBL HERO Forever Clear protocol offers a three-phase, medical-grade treatment:

1. Blue Light: Kills acne-causing bacteria deep within pores by delivering light energy that destroys Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) at its source.

2. Yellow Light: Reduces active inflammation, calms redness, and promotes rapid healing, effectively tackling the pain and appearance of angry spots.

3. Infrared Light: Stimulates natural skin repair and rejuvenation, helping to prevent repeat breakouts and promote even texture post-treatment.

This unique combination is supported by the next-generation cooling and power systems of Sciton Pro BBL HERO, meaning less discomfort, lower risk of burns, and higher patient satisfaction compared to older IPL or acne laser technologies.

Comparison to Other Treatments

Why choose Promeds BBL HERO over conventional lasers or creams?

Superior to topical creams & medications: Unlike over-the-counter creams or oral drugs, BBL HERO works by directly targeting roots of acne and inflammation within the skin.
More effective than traditional IPL: With up to 4x faster treatment, 3x the peak power, and 2x higher comfort, BBL HERO achieves real results with fewer sessions.
Minimal risk, no downtime: Many chemical peels or older lasers require downtime or cause irritation; BBL HERO’s cooling technology means faster healing and less red, inflamed skin post-treatment.
No risk of drug side effects: Especially important for those who cannot take oral medications or want to avoid hormonal or systemic options.

Post Treatment Care

Support your results with simple aftercare

Cleanse gently and moisturize as advised by your practitioner
Avoid active skincare ingredients (acids, retinoids) for 2–3 days
Apply mineral SPF 50 daily to protect skin and prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation
Refrain from makeup and heavy creams for 12 hours post-session if possible
No picking or popping; avoid harsh exfoliation for 5 days

What should I avoid after Acne Laser Treatment?

Strictly avoid direct sun until the skin is fully healed or as recommended by your clinician.
Hot tubs/saunas: Refrain for 48 hours post-session.
Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate flaking skin—allow it to shed naturally to prevent scarring.
Wear protective clothing for outdoor activities.
Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for at least 48 hours post-treatment.

Post Treatment Possible Side Effects

Temporary redness, swelling, or mild tingling (usually resolves within a few hours).
Rarely, minor bruising or darkening of vessels may occur, which fades with time.
Rarely, in individuals with very sensitive skin, minor swelling or a “sunburn” sensation may occur.
Risk of complications such as burns, scarring, or changes in skin colour is significantly lower than with older IPL technologies, thanks to the superior cooling and precision of Sciton Pro BBL HERO.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unveiling Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

What is laser treatment for acne?

Laser treatment for acne at Promeds uses the advanced Sciton Pro BBL HERO system. It works by delivering different wavelengths of light to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce redness and inflammation, and stimulate skin healing for clearer, healthier skin.

Who is suitable for acne laser treatment?

Most teens and adults with active acne, oily skin, post-acne redness, or mild scarring can benefit from this treatment. Suitability is determined after a thorough skin assessment during your free consultation at Promeds.

Which areas can be treated with acne laser?

Acne laser treatment is suitable for nearly all breakout-prone areas, including the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and back. Larger body areas can often be treated quickly in a single session.

When will I see results from BBL HERO acne laser?

Most clients experience reduced breakouts and less redness after their very first treatment, with maximum improvement often visible after a series of 2 to 3 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.

How many acne laser sessions will I need?

While some improvement may be seen after one treatment, a typical course of 3 to 6 sessions is recommended for best and longer-lasting results, especially for persistent or severe acne.

Is acne laser treatment painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or light snap against the skin. Thanks to the BBL HERO’s advanced cooling, the procedure is comfortable, and numbing creams are rarely required.

Is there any downtime after acne laser treatment?

There is minimal to no downtime. Mild redness or warmth may be present for a few hours. You can resume normal activities, including work or school, right after your treatment.

What aftercare is required following acne laser treatment?

Gently cleanse and moisturize your skin, use SPF 50 daily, and avoid harsh skincare products for a couple of days. Do not pick or squeeze treated blemishes, and follow all aftercare instructions provided by your Promeds practitioner.

Are there any side effects to acne laser treatment?

You may experience mild redness, flakiness, or temporary darkening of blemishes as they heal. Swelling or minor tingling is rare and usually subsides quickly. The risk of serious side effects is very low with BBL HERO.

How does BBL HERO acne laser compare to other acne treatments?

BBL HERO provides rapid, drug-free results without the side effects of antibiotics or harsh medications. It also offers higher comfort, treats larger areas, and requires fewer sessions compared to older IPL or traditional acne lasers.
