Gently soothing inflammation with LED light
When faced with a flare-up of inflammatory acne, the first step is to calm the fire in the skin without causing additional irritation. LED technology, or photobiomodulation, has established itself as a solution of choice for regulating bacterial activity while promoting healing.
Blue light acts directly on the bacteria responsible for acne, while red light penetrates more deeply to reduce redness. This light duo makes it possible to stabilise the condition of the skin without resorting to drying products that could weaken the hydrolipidic barrier.
The advantage of this method lies in its great gentleness, which makes it a central pillar of our in-centre treatment programmes. An LED session involves no downtime and fits perfectly into a busy city schedule, offering a moment of relaxation while addressing the underlying issue.
LaseMD Ultra: the expert in skin texture and pigmentation marks
Once the inflammation is under control, the focus shifts to the quality of the skin’s surface. Acne often leaves behind brown or pinkish marks, as well as an uneven skin texture that does not catch the light well.
The LaseMD Ultra thulium laser is a cutting-edge technology that creates micro-channels in the epidermis to stimulate cell renewal from within. Unlike more abrasive lasers, it preserves the integrity of the skin while delivering precise energy to smooth imperfections.
Why radiance comes from a smooth surface
Radiant skin is, above all, skin whose surface reflects light evenly. Texture irregularities create shadowy areas that dull the face, even when active blemishes have disappeared.
By using LaseMD Ultra, the skin is encouraged to produce new, healthier and better-organised cells. This natural regeneration process brings back that feeling of brand-new skin and the famous glow that characterises a healthy appearance.
A targeted method for acne marks
Post-inflammatory marks are often experienced as more frustrating than the acne itself, as they take months to fade. The thulium laser specifically targets these pigments to accelerate their disappearance and even out the complexion spectacularly.
This approach makes it possible to correct pigmentation disorders while tightening enlarged pores. The result is clearer, denser skin that requires less concealing make-up day to day.
Treating scars in depth with microneedling and Morpheus8
For older or deeper marks, such as pitted scars, surface action is no longer enough. It is then necessary to go down into the dermal layers to restructure the tissues and kick-start collagen synthesis.
The combination of microneedling and fractional radiofrequency today represents the pinnacle of effectiveness for smoothing skin texture. Morpheus8 is the flagship technology in this segment, acting as a true architect of the skin.
The power of fractional radiofrequency
Morpheus8 uses micro-needles that deliver heat to the heart of the dermis, where the supporting fibres are located. This thermal energy causes the tissues to contract and triggers a massive production of new collagen and elastin.
This deep repair mechanism gradually fills acne scars from within. The skin gains firmness and hollows are smoothed, offering a visible transformation of the face’s structure without altering its natural expressions.
A bespoke programme for restructured skin
As every skin has its own history, Innerskin experts define a treatment programme adapted to the severity of the scars and the reactivity of each individual. This personalisation is the key to achieving a significant improvement in texture without needlessly stressing the tissues.
Patience is a virtue in this field, as collagen remodelling takes place over several weeks. However, the longevity of the results achieved with Morpheus8 makes it a valuable investment for anyone wishing to leave their insecurities behind for good.
