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.

Sessions: most people need a course of treatments. We'll plan yours at your consultation.
Downtime: minimal. Some short-lived redness is normal.
