This is combined with a course of LED Light Therapy. We recommend two 20 minute sessions per week (one blue light, one red light) for four weeks. Less severe acne may respond well to a skin care regimen +/- chemical peels. For more information go to acne treatment, skin care or call our acne experts on 9284 0900.

For Rosacea, most experts recommend the use of a potent Vitamin C serum (such as Active C by Aspect Dr) and a retinol cream or serum (when tolerated).
