Clear & Matte Treatment

Acne Kuala Lumpur

Laser treatment of active acne helps to reduce acne inflammation by photoselective absorption and the heating of overactive sebaceous glands. Nd:YAG laser is used to accelerate the healing process and reduce the possibility of developing new acne inflammation.  

A high-power Nd:YAG laser is used for our Clear & Matte Treatment. It is used to penetrate the skin deep enough to thermally and selectively destroy large sebaceous glands, which is the main cause of acne formation. 

Treating acne with laser for our Clear & Matte Treatment is the least-invasive and most patient-friendly method possible. What more, no medication is required and complete recovery is achieved within days. This makes the Clear & Matte Treatment the most comfortable and fast-result treatment for acne-prone skin.

What is Clear & Matte?

My Bliss Clinic’s Clear & Matte Treatment is a laser treatment that utilises the Nd: YAG laser to treat active acne. It is used to heat up and destroy overactive sebaceous glands and at the same time kill acne-causing bacteria p. acnes.

Fotona’s precisely controlled Nd:YAG laser wavelength safely penetrates into the skin with an optimal depth to effectively target overactive sebaceous glands. In addition to its thermal penetration effects, the Nd:YAG acne laser treatment also stimulates collagen remodelling, an important step in the treatment of acne.

Who should go for this treatment?

Clear & Matte Treatment is recommended for those with:

  • Active pustular/ cystic acne
  • Oily skin

How many sessions are needed? How often?

An average of 4 to 6 sessions, once every 3 to 4 weeks will be required for an optimal result.

Is the treatment painful? Is it safe?

No, the Clear & Matte Treatment is not painful as we apply numbing cream prior to the procedure. Cryogen is used to cool the skin during the procedure and reduce any discomfort further. When done by experienced physicians, this laser treatment is very safe. This is suitable for most skin types except very dark skin type.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

There is no downtime after this treatment. There will be mild redness which will subside within an hour. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the Clear & Matte Treatment.

What do I need to avoid before and after the treatment?

Oral isotretinoin (i.e. Roaccutane) need to be stopped 6 months prior to the treatment. It is very important to minimise sun exposure 2 weeks before and after the treatment. You should also follow the post-treatment protocol carefully (which will be provided after the treatment). Certain skincare products such as acidic and Vitamin A creams need to be avoided for 3 to 5 days after the treatment.

Can I have this laser therapy in combination with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes – the Clear & Matte Treatment laser can be combined with other acne treatments such as SilkPeel DermalInfusion and Ionto Sonic Cleansing. The effect of the laser can be enhanced by these treatments. During Gold Photothermal Therapy procedure, this laser is being used to activate the gold nanoparticles to reduce sebum secretion from the sebaceous glands.

Message from Dr. Elson

Treating acne is challenging and takes a lot of required time to combine treatments for better and faster results. Clear & Matte Treatment laser is normally combined with Ionto Sonic Cleansing and SilkPeel DermalInfusion in the Total Matteness Program. The right skin care products specifically for acne and oily skin such as Akincare and iS Clinical are equally important to combat acne.
