Acne is a common condition that can affect people of all skin types and ages. It most commonly occurs during puberty when the sebaceous glands become more active due to stimulation from the hormones produced by the adrenal glands.
If left untreated, it may lead to textural changes and scarring. At CMC, we provide various laser treatments that take into account your skin type and condition.

Medically known as Acne Vulgaris, acne is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, which is made up of a hair follicle and sebaceous gland (oil gland).
Acne occurs when the skin’s oil glands produce too much sebum, an oily substance that moisturises the skin. The excess accumulation of sebum, along with dead skin cells, creates a plug that blocks the pore. This blockage becomes infected with bacteria, resulting in swelling and the formation of pimples, and may leave stubborn scars behind.
Acne scars are permanent textural changes and indentations that may occur as a result of severe acne. If acne is left untreated, it will lead to scarring and can form as pigmentation or dark spots which are more difficult to treat in the long term. When acne occurs, large pus-filled spaces known as the cysts form, destroy the surrounding skin tissue and hinder the healing process. Once the cyst empties the area, allowing it to heal, it leaves behind a scar on the face.
Acne scars can also form after inflammatory acne and may appear as indented (pitted) areas or raised scars. The appearance of acne scars varies between individuals and depends on factors such as scar type, skin condition, and the body’s natural healing response.
The term “scarring” is not used for the temporary red and brown marks left early after acne has occurred, as these marks will almost always improve without treatment.
The minimum cost for acne and acne scar treatments is $440. Please note that an estimate cost for laser acne and acne scar treatment cannot be provided via telephone or email.
The cost for acne treatment will very greatly depending on your skin type and condition, the severity of the acne and scar related concerns, and the span of the areas to be treated. These factors must be assessed first to determine the type of treatment option for you and the number of sessions you will need.
