Acne Treatment in Petone, Lower Hutt

Breakouts can knock your confidence. At SkinDeep we treat active acne with the Quanta Discovery PICO Plus laser, which calms inflammation, targets the bacteria behind breakouts and helps your skin heal clearer. Every plan starts with a consultation, so your treatment fits your skin.

What we treat

  • Active and inflamed acne

  • Redness and marks left behind after breakouts (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)

  • Oily, congested skin that's prone to flare-ups

How it works

The Discovery PICO Plus uses ultra-short picosecond and nanosecond pulses. They reduce inflammation, target acne-causing bacteria and stimulate fresh collagen, all without damaging the surrounding skin. Because the pulses are so short, it's suitable for a wide range of skin tones.

What to expect

  • Consultation: we look at your skin, talk through your history and set a plan.

  • Sessions: most people need a course of treatments. We'll plan yours at your consultation.

  • Downtime: minimal. Some short-lived redness is normal.

  • Results: skin usually looks calmer after the first few sessions, and keeps improving over the course.
