Acne Treatment

Types of Lasers for Acne Treatment

The acne treatment involves the use of various types of lasers:

CoolView

Ergonomically designed with ease of use in mind, the CoolView handpiece delivers both the 532 and 1064 nm wavelength and features a zoom spot-size capability quick, efficient spot sizes adjustments from 2-12 mm. The CoolView integrated sapphire cooling optimizes patient comfort and safety during acne treatment by providing pre, parallel and post bulk cooling.

Genesis

Specifically designed for Cutera’s signature laser genesis procedure, the Genesis V handpiece delivers gentle micro-pulses that target microvasculature and stimulate collagen remodelling, improving the appearance of wrinkles, diffuse redness and other noticeable signs of aging.

EXELO2 CO2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing

The EXEL02 Co2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing procedure is used for visible skin correction. This procedure is German engineered, making it a safer, dependable and more efficient laser in acne treatment. It is able to tighten skin, improve acne scars, blemishes, large pores and blend uneven skin tone.

LED Light

LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses light diodes to assist with the body’s healing process. It comes with a series of benefits which include reducing the skin’s redness and boosting the body’s cellular recovery through relieving pain and assisting with skin rejuvenation. This therapeutic procedure allows patients to relax after receiving an acne treatment without any pain or discomfort whilst providing no downtime at all.

LED Light Therapy essentially enables your skin to heal faster after treatments as well as allowing existing ailments to heal at a quicker rate. The light penetrates the skin and reaches the cellular level to stimulate natural regeneration and the flow of blood to the target area, enabling the body to heal the area much faster. We utilise the LED treatment to speed up the recovery of your skin so that there is less down time, allowing you to have more time for more important things in life.

Q-Switch FRAC3

The Q-Switch FRAC3 laser utilises wavelengths that reduce bacteria growth and sebum production, stimulate the glands, as well as removing hair.

FRAC3 is a new revolution in non-invasive skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing at our Sydney clinic. It utilises Fotona’s market leading Nd:YAG laser to penetrate deep into the skin tissue creating a thermal effect which triggers your skin’s natural ability to rejuvenate while minimising the amount of sebum produced and trigger the skin to produce more collagen.

Our FRAC3 laser is an innovation in acne treatment. The controlled Nd:YAG laser light focuses on doing two things, targeting overly active sebaceous glands and to also minimise the risk of formation of new acne inflammation on the skin.

Excellent results with no side effects

The Nd:YAG laser goes into a selective layer of skin so that it can using heating to dissipate a select amount of sebaceous glands that are overactive in the system. Our laser systems allow your face to recover from acne and develop collagen in areas where scarring and pigmentation may have occurred due to acne. Our clinic offers options for all skin types from those with mild forms of acne to those with more serious cases such as cystic acne.

Q-Switch 1064

Acne causes pigmentation on the skin and these areas of the skin contain especially high concentrations of melanin. The Fotona QX Max is the safest and most powerful Q-Switched laser system in the world and uses multiple wavelengths to treat a wide range of Epidermal, Dermal and mixed Dermal- Epidermal Pigmented Lesions.

CO2 Full Ablative

The EXEL02 Co2 Full Ablation Mode assists in acne treatment by removing superficial benign skin changes across the surface including cysts of acne. This German engineered technology makes it safer, dependable and very efficient. The procedure can be used to treat solar and seborrheic keratosis, warts, moles, skin tags, sebaceous hyperplasia, scar treatment, syringomas and diffuse actinic keratoses.

I am so grateful to have found CMC to treat my acne scarring. I had resurfacing and LED treatment and I have a renewed sense of confidence to go outside with no makeup. Jenner is amazing! She is professional and her approach and philosophy to skin care is simple but powerful. I highly recommend CMC and wish I found them earlier :)

My experience at CMC is nothing but awesome!I came to CMC for my acne treatment. I have suffered from severe acne for 4+ years and have been struggling to clear it. Jenner and the team have been very caring and attentive. Jenner has given the best treatment I have had and within 3 weeks my complexion is smooth and most of the acne were gone. I now don't have to rely on make ups to cover my skin because I am now confident in my own skin (literally). Thanks Jenner and her team for a great experience.Mandy

I have visited CMC for my first treatment after the initial consultation with Jenner .I was pleasantly surprised by her professionalism courtesy and passion for her work. I would be happily sharing my pictures and reviews about my pigmentation once I have completed the recommended treatment.Thanks Jenner and team for the beautiful experience.

This is one of the rare few moments where I believe it is necessary for me to put in the effort to give CMC a 5 star sterling review! Not only to show my gratitude, but more so to share my experience at CMC to help more patients with similar skin conditions to mine! To let them know that there is hope after all! I’ve always been cursed with severe acne, scarring, pigmentation and dull complexion. I have a terrible habit of picking, popping my pimples, not slip slop slapping.. basically, everything you know you are not supposed to do, but end up doing anyway... yup, that’s me. :) Being self-conscious of the scarring and bumpy marked skin, I’ve tried every treatment under the sun. Facial peels, scrubs etc… nothing worked. It was only after I was convinced to try laser that I began to see the difference! From the initial consultation, Jenner and her team have always been very professional. She has been an endless wealth of knowledge about all things laser and skin care. I basically left everything in her most capable hands. She recommended for me to proceed with some ongoing treatments via the genesis, killswitch and coolview lasers to control my oily skin, remove the pigmentation and black marks. Surprisingly, these treatments had no downtime and were basically painless. The results were immediately noticeable – smaller pores and less oily skin = less acne. As promised, the tremendous differences only came after a couple of ongoing treatments. I am simply amazed that my skin would respond so well to this! After 2 months of treatments, I am glad to report that my skin is almost as soft and clear as a baby’s bottom! Thank you so much to Jenner and her team. I could not recommend them more! They are the true laser specialists!

I seldom write comments. But I really want to share my experience in cmc to help more patients who have the acne scars like me. cmc is your wise choice to remove acne scars. Jenner has totally changed the texture of my skin. My serious acne scars have more than 80 percent improvement just after one month of treatments. I did fully ablative co2 laser and fractional co2 laser. Before I decided to accept the treatment, I was really nervous and hesitant. I read almost all comments about cmc but just a few of them is related to acne scars. Now I want to say, I made one of the best decisions in my life. Jenner is really a nice laser and facelift specialist, she is patient and professional. All staffs in cmc are really nice.

Firstly, before the review i would like to personally thank the CMC staff especially Jenner.With a quick back story, i suffer from acne, hyper pigmentation, excessive sebum production so i am constantly oily and have bumps. I have used benzoyl peroxide recommended by my GP for almost 4 years with little to no improvement. Searched the internet for a skin care routine that would fix my skin (cleansing, exfoliating, toning, moisturising) and still no improvement. Until i took it upon myself to visit CMC, where i met with Jenner.Jenner is an incredible laser specialist, not only does she love what she does, the level of care and consideration she has for her clients is incredible.For my consultation she explained why my skin has acne, what methods to use to restart my skin and what she can do to treat my skin. I proceeded right after the consultation, Jenner gave up her lunch break for the day to treat my skin. Putting the time for each client and her drive to WANT a great outcome for her client is whole heartedly amazing. My skin has improved so much fromwhen i first started, while it has been slow process it is a step in the right path for my skin. To take it a step further, as one of Jenner clients please feel free to email me, i will be happy to validate and share my experience with anyone.

I had severe acne for several years, skin had scars and dark coloured marks, and I went to CMC and started my acne treatment 6 months ago. Because I work in the city, it is really convenient for me. I did not see much change with the first three treatments; I started seeing result after the fourth and fifth treatment. However, I had acne breakout again, I felt like I was on a roller coaster. So, I decided to get another package with a session of skin resurfacing. Now, my acne has stopped, skin is not oily and smoother without any dark patches, large pores and most of my scars. I feel like a new person. I have learned how to look after my skin now. It’s completely different to my understanding before. I should have done this long time ago, really appreciate the way CMC looked after my skin. Thank you CMC!

Had two skin tags removed. The whole process was quick and virtually painless. Staff was friendly and professional. I found it to be reasonably priced as I don't have any insurance here being a visitor. If I need anything else done this is where I will go.

I was looking around for treatment for my acne as I have been getting a lot of 'cyst acne' on my face. I found the CMC clinic online and went on their website to find some treatment options that were available. I booked in for an appointment and had the Genesis and the CoolView treatments, which were recommended. After the treatment my skin looked tighter, fresher and even looked more smooth. It was a very comfortable and non invasive process. (Didn't hurt at all) My skin was less oily immediately and felt much smoother and clearer the next. My pores were also smaller and the skin itself looked more vibrant and clean. I am now going back each fortnight until the package is finished. I am happy to finally find a clinic which can help with my acne and facial problems. I am now in my 30's and have tried numerous lotions, scrubs, facial cleaners etc ALL my life. So thankful to have found CMC and the treatment I have received for my acne. Very happy with the results and professional approach taken!Sarah :)

Got the acne treatment done at CMC. I have acne rosacea since when I was a teenager and people used to call me “red face” for how red my face was all the time so I decided to contact CMC after reading all the great reviews. I was recommended to take the treatment using the Coolview and Genesis laser. It was non-invasive, pain free (thank God), no downtime and no one could tell that I had any treatment done to my face. It didn’t solve my problem in one go however after a few treatments I could really see a huuuge difference. Normally after taking a shower or being under the sun for even a short time, my skin used to go really red and blotchy for hours. After having the treatments done, my face looked “normal” and didn’t go red anymore after showers and I couldn’t be more happy to see that! As a bonus, the texture of my skin was much smoother, the pore size got smaller and even the blackheads I very much hated also became much less visible that I don’t need makeup to cover them anymore. This means I no longer have to put harmful chemicals on my skin and save my time in the morning which is great. I really would recommend CMC to anyone with acne/rosacea or those who just want smoother and more beautiful looking skin. They are very professional and I could tell they really wanted to help solve my skin problem. Definitely give them a go!

Jenner and her team at CMC are friendly and excellent all-around. I had two separate packages in order to treat my acne and pigmentation, and Jenner has gone above and beyond to provide treatments that would best suit my skin type and provide astounding results. My skin has definitely improved in both texture and appearance since having said treatments.You can tell that CMC truly values their clients and their quality of service is of a high standard of which all other cosmetic clinics should aspire to. I highly recommend them and will be referring all my skin treatment concerns with Jenner from now on.

Acne scaring has been a major issue for me ever since I was 16 years old. Soon to be 25, the shame, insecurity and self consciousness had been stuck to me. My confidence level has never been very high as I’ve battled with severe acne during my teenage days. It had left large, pitted scars that gave me a reminder of those memories. I had spent months researching on acne scar removal along with trying home remedies but none of which were effective. With graduating University, money and affordability has been a major problem in participating in any acne scar removal procedures and treatments. Months later, after doing TONS of research and going through many laser clinics that have extremely overpriced treatments, I came across the ‘Cosmetic Medical Clinic’. Location is very convenient as it took me about 5 minutes to walk from central station to the clinic. At first I was worried that it will be the same discussions, same prices, same procedures blah blah blah as other clinics but I was surprised. I entered the clinic and was kindly greeted by their friendly staff members. Filled out some quick details and they sent me off to see Jenner. Jenner showed great honesty, kindness and was very responsible. She is very experienced, personal and cares for what her patients feel which was something that I haven’t really received from other clinics. Jenner is very passionate about her work and is very professional with what she specialises in. I was highly informed with the procedures that was recommended for my acne scar removal process and compared to other clinics, it was much more affordable. She is very experienced and knowledgeable. This was when I knew this was the right clinic and decided to go ahead with the procedure.I went ahead with a session of Co2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing treatment along with 5 LED lighting skin treatments. I felt very comfortable putting myself in her hands. After the first session of Co2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing, my skin was pink and tender. It looked like a light sunburn. Jenner informed me greatly of the care processes after that first treatment e.g. no moisturiser or products, no direct sun exposure, no alcohol or intense exercises as it may affect the healing and increase swelling. This was followed by a session of LED lighting which wasn’t painful but it will improve healing results. I followed all that was instructed. After a couple of days, I was impressed to see great improvement in my skin colour and texture. I noticed major improvements in my acne scars and was happier by the day with the results. Every other day, I would be appointed back to the clinic and have another LED lighting session till my 5 sessions were complete. It has been 3-4 weeks since my first consultation and I can say my confidence, happiness and security level with my skin has skyrocketed. I feel fresh, clean and brand new. Finally out of my shell and away from the bad memories. This procedure along with the great help from Jenner and her wonderful team have helped me come out of my shell and I couldn’t thank them enough! Jenner was here for me the whole journey and has definitely made it worth while. I share my experiences to help another person that maybe going through what I went through with hours of dreaded research, trying to find the right place. I didn’t know what to do or who to trust with my skin but I finally made the right decision.I would like to say a MASSIVE ‘Thank You!’ to Jenner and her ‘Cosmetic Medical Clinic’ team for being here for me and improving my condition from start to finish. I couldn’t thank you or your team enough for what great help you guys have been for me. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone and will definitely be coming back if I would like future treatments - no doubt.Kind regardsJay

I am grateful to have Jenner as my therapist. Jenner is very kind, personable, and knowledgeable. She is passionate about her work, she has a great professional attitude, and she knows what is best. I really appreciate what Jenner did for me. I have been struggling with my acne scar problems for 15 years. I have tried Microneedle Therapy System (MTS), and a variety of peelings, and there has been only slight improvement. Finally, I decided to give laser treatment a try. I came to see Jenner, and she recommended me to do Co2 Fractional Skin resurfacing. The pain was bearable for me, and it requires some downtime, and the result was impressive, my skin feels fresh and new. My scars have faded, this treatment delivers a more dramatic improvement of acne scarring than all other treatments I have had before. I also did Q-switch, and Coolview and Genesis treatment, I notice there was fewer breakouts and blackheads, my skin becomes smoother, and it effectively shrink my pores, which makes my skin looks clear. I am thrilled with the result. Thank you Jenner and her whole team, they are very friendly and helpful. The clinic location is very convenient, it only takes 5 minute walk to Central Railway Station. Highly recommend to everyone.

I can’t thank Jenner more for what she did for my and for my mum’s skin. I found Jenner for a mole treatment through google search due to those good review and found out she has been even more helpful than what I can expected. Me and my mum had laser resurfacing and Q switched laser. The result is amazing. She is really care of your skin and your feeling. And give all to help you to see the true improvement on your skin condition! This is something I never received in any cosmetic clinic before! Thank you Jenner and your team! Truely appreciated!

Im glad to leave this review finally after a long wait! Ive finished my last LED light therapy about 2 weeks ago after the fractional laser. Ive been suffering (emotionally) from acne scar which made me feel hopeless since the scar doesn’t get disappeared with any cream or medication. It was hard for me to decide to try this laser therapy due to its high costs (As a student, its not easy at all to pay more than $2000 for the whole therapy). Jenna takes a plenty of time to explain about the therapy and for any questions I had. She doesn’t rush through. Overall, I’m happy with the results although I wouldn’t say Ive got all the scar removed for 100%. Its been about 3 weeks since the laser and I still have redness in my cheeks but overall the acne scar is a lot milder. It really helped with boosting my confidence. I wanna get it done again next time if I have enough savings. All the staff are very nice and kind too! Thanks a lot!!

I had a single large skin tag at the back my leg. Jenna Chan at CMC Clinic has done the removal and all done by laser procedure in less than one hour, very quick and hassle-free. She’s very gentle and making sure the whole process run as smooth as possible. I didn’t feel any pain and there are no bleeding at all. Thank you CMC.

After alot of research and scepticism regarding ultherapy treatment. I finally placed my trust and face into the hands of practitioner Jenner Chan at CMC. Not knowing whether or not I was going to be a good candidate for the ultherapy treatment, I decided to go ahead with the treatment because I felt at ease and confident with Jenner Chan’s, experience, honest and detailed professional expertise and advice.The results of the ultherapy treatment have excelled my expectations and I am confident to say that I am a fresher, tighter and younger looking me instantly.I would like to thank Jenner Chan and the team at CMC clinic at Hay market Sydney for such great results and look forward to continuing a relationship with CMC regarding the future of maintaining a healthy skincare plan to make my skin and face, a New Confident Me..Kindly Samantha

I have been to this clinic a number of times for skin rejuvenation and have got great results. Jenna is a highly skilled therapist, she is passionate about getting the best outcome for her clients, she puts me at ease with her personable and down to earth manner. I have also found other staff in the clinic to be very friendly and helpful, the clinic itself is modern, clean and spacious. It will be my go to place for future treatments.

I can't recommend Jenner and the CMC highly enough! I’ve had a number of treatments over several years (Q switch laser and C02 spot treatment) and have always had fantastic results. Jenner is incredibly passionate about skin care. She really cares about her patients and is dedicated to achieving the best results. I had a horrible skin condition that doctors and dermatologists couldn’t help me with, but Jenner sorted it out in only a few weeks and helped me get my life back on track. Can’t thank her enough! There’s also complete consistency of care at CMC over the years, unlike random beauty parlours where staff are always coming and going. Jenner remembers her patients, learns about their skin and always knows what to recommend. There’s also no selling of beauty products, which often make your skin worse. If you have the best treatments with the highest quality lasers you don’t need them. So great to find a place that is practical and down to earth!

I visited Cosmetic Medical Clinic to get the scar on my face removed. Being dark skinned, getting laser on my face was a big concern as I was aware of the possibility of pigmentation. The specialists in the clinic, especially, Jenner who treated me was absolutely amazing, she fixed the scar on my face and even though I have some LED light therapy pending, I can already see the results, which is amazing. I highly recommend this clinic and would never go anywhere else. Guys, don't be afraid to pay them a visit, you wont regret it!!

Today I had the Q Switch treatment, last time I had this treatment was 2 years ago. I was surprised by the photos Jenner showed me of my skin 2 years ago compared to today. I couldn't believe my skin texture was cleaner and fresher and better looking.The results from the last treatment is still evident today. This treatment is extremely effective and doesn't need to be done a lot. Great experience and service. Also had LED Light afterwards, and am happy there's no down time!

Absolutely love this clinic!!! Very professional, welcoming and helpful team. Jenna has a very good knowledge of the industry. I can say that I'm happy with the results after 2 Q-switch laser treatments. My face is brighter, smoother and my pigmentation scars started to fade. Can't wait to see you on my next visit ☺️Merci CMC!!

I have had 2 treatments so far at CMC and have bought an additional package of 5 - Q-Switch laser. I had a great consultation with Jenner before recommending what I needed - she took some photographs of my skin and then walked me through her recommendations. It was important to her that I knew what I was going to be signing up for. I have searched many years and tried many things to improve my skin. Various treatments and countless skin care brands with little to no results. Some of it made my skin worse. I have always preferred to use natural products but I haven't had much luck finding any that improved my skin (my skin is not bad - I've had acne and a lot of sun but nothing too bad - but it is something I have attention on fixing. I usually wear makeup every day - foundation, powder, blush, concealer, to make it look nicer. With Jenner's help she is working with me to stop using all the makeup and chemicals and help me to feel comfortable in my own skin - no make up! She is honest and realistic with what she tells you and that gives me confidence. Her treatments are relatively pain free and she ensures you are comfortable. After 2 sessions my skin is looking much better and I am very to see how it progresses after more sessions - she takes photographs each time to show me the progress. The machines she uses are the best of the best and the clinic is very clean and modern which is great - not like some of the dingy beauticians and laser clinics I have visited in the past. This is worth the money - especially since I wont have to buy all the beauty products and make up like I have in the past. I do not usually write reviews on here but I have been so happy with it so far, I though I should share so others can get help too!
