Acne is one of the most common skin conditions worldwide, yet its effects can go far beyond the occasional blemish. For some, it can lead to persistent inflammation, discolouration, and scarring, all of which can affect confidence and overall skin health.
At BROWZ, we offer advanced clinical solutions, including laser treatment, BBL acne treatment, and specialised options for acne scars, designed to restore clarity and confidence to your skin.
Understanding Acne and Its Impact
Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage can trigger inflammation, leading to different breakout types:
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Papules and pustules
- Nodules and cysts
Persistent acne can influence self-esteem, making social and professional interactions more challenging. Professional acne treatment goes beyond clearing blemishes; it supports long-term skin health and confidence.
Why Over-the-Counter Products Often Fall Short
Drugstore cleansers and creams may help with mild breakouts but they can only address surface symptoms. Acne typically originates deeper within the skin, where bacteria and inflammation thrive.
Limitations of at-home products:- Can’t penetrate deeply enough to address root causes
- Often leads to temporary improvement, followed by recurrence
- May irritate sensitive skin if used excessively
Professional treatments go beyond acne control, it targets inflammation beneath the skin’s surface while also encouraging long-term skin repair.
Laser Treatment for Acne
Laser acne therapy uses concentrated light energy to target overactive sebaceous glands, reducing oil production and destroying acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin’s surface. This not only treats current breakouts but also lowers the risk of future flare-ups.
For acne scars, the laser stimulates new collagen production, helping the skin repair itself from within. Over time, scars become softer, texture improves, and skin tone evens out.
During treatment, you may feel gentle warmth or a mild prickling sensation. Most clients find it comfortable, with little to no downtime.
BBL Acne Treatment and Its Benefits
BBL, or BroadBand Light treatment, is an advanced light-based treatment that uses multiple wavelengths to address acne at its source. Unlike traditional lasers, BBL can target both bacteria and pigmentation, making it effective for active breakouts and post-inflammatory redness.
Gentle Yet Effective
BBL delivers controlled pulses of light that work deep within the skin without causing damage to surrounding tissues. This makes it suitable for even the most delicate skin types while still achieving clear, visible improvements.
Non-Invasive
As a non-invasive treatment, BBL requires no incisions or needles. Sessions are comfortable, quick, and do not interrupt your daily routine, making them ideal for those seeking results without the recovery associated with more invasive procedures.
Minimal Downtime
Unlike more aggressive laser procedures, BBL allows you to return to work or exercise almost immediately. Any redness or warmth typically subsides within a few hours, making it a practical choice for busy lifestyles.
Enhanced Skin Tone
Beyond targeting active acne, BBL helps reduce the lingering redness and pigmentation left behind by past breakouts. The result is a more even and radiant complexion over time.
Long-Lasting Results
With a full course of treatments and proper aftercare, BBL can deliver results that last for months. Many clients find that occasional maintenance sessions help sustain a clear and healthy complexion over the long term.
Customised Care
Every BBL session at BROWZ is tailored to the individual. Our specialists adjust the light wavelengths and intensity to match your skin’s needs, ensuring both safety and maximum results.
Suitability and Considerations
BBL acne treatment is an excellent choice for individuals with mild to moderate acne who want a gentle yet effective, non-invasive solution. It works across a variety of skin types, though it tends to be most effective for lighter complexions due to the way the light energy interacts with the skin’s natural pigments.
While BBL is widely regarded as safe, it’s important to be aware of certain points before beginning your sessions:
Temporary Skin Reactions
You may notice mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity immediately after treatment. These effects typically settle within a few hours to a day.
Choose an Experienced Aesthetic Clinic
The success of BBL acne treatment relies greatly on the skill and expertise of the provider. Always select a reputable aesthetic clinic with trained professionals who can deliver safe, precise, and effective results.
Need for Multiple Sessions
BBL acne treatment often requires a series of sessions for optimal results. Your provider will assess your skin condition and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Not Suitable for All Skin Conditions
People with certain skin disorders, active infections, or severe acne may need alternative treatments. A thorough consultation is important to determine if BBL is right for you.
Pregnancy Considerations
BBL acne treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy due to limited safety data. It’s best to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding before undergoing the procedure.
The Treatment Process
-
Consultation
Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation and skin analysis. This allows us to design a plan based on your skin’s current condition, goals, and tolerance for downtime. The number of sessions and the frequency will depend on the chosen treatment type:
-
Preparation
Before your session, ensure your skin is clean and free from makeup, lotions, or self-tanning products. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh skincare treatments for at least one week. Your specialist may also advise pausing certain medications or active skincare ingredients to minimise sensitivity during treatment.
-
Procedure
During the session, a protective gel is applied to the treatment area, and you’ll wear safety goggles to shield your eyes from the light. The BBL device delivers precise light pulses to the skin, targeting specific concerns such as acne, redness, or pigmentation. Most clients feel a quick, warm sensation with minimal discomfort.
-
Post-Treatment
After your session, the treated area may appear mildly red or warm, similar to a light sunburn. This typically fades within a few hours. Your specialist will provide instructions to support your skin’s recovery.
Aftercare Tips for Lasting Results
- Apply SPF Daily - Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect treated skin from UV damage and prevent pigmentation from returning.
- Avoid Harsh Products - Pause active ingredients like retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs until your specialist advises it’s safe to resume.
- Stay Hydrated - Drink plenty of water to keep your skin plump and support recovery.
- Book Follow-Up Treatments - Maintain and enhance results by following the recommended treatment schedule.
- Use Gentle Skincare - Stick to mild, non-irritating skincare products for at least 3-5 days post-treatment to support healing.
- Consider Professional Aftercare - Use clinic-recommended products or book supportive treatments to prolong your results.
Combining Treatments for Enhanced Results
For stubborn or long-standing acne, combining BBL with laser therapy or other aesthetic procedures can enhance results. This integrated approach tackles bacteria, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen all at once.
Popular combination plans:
- BBL Forever Clear + fractional laser for scars
- BBL + chemical peels for smoother texture and brighter tone

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser treatment effective for acne scars?
Yes. Laser treatment stimulates collagen production to repair damaged skin tissue, softening the appearance of scars, improving texture, and evening skin tone over time.
Is BBL or IPL better for acne?
BBL is generally more effective for acne because it uses advanced technology that targets both acne-causing bacteria and post-inflammatory pigmentation. IPL can improve skin tone, but BBL delivers more precise and lasting results for acne.
How often should I get Bbl for acne?
Most clients benefit from a series of 3-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every few months can help sustain clear skin.
Does acne come back after laser or BBL treatment?
Results can last for months or longer, but acne may return if underlying triggers like hormones, skincare habits, or diet are not addressed. Maintenance treatments and a tailored skincare routine help prolong results.
When will I see results from laser or BBL treatments?
Many people notice improvements in skin clarity within 1–2 sessions, but optimal results typically appear after completing the full recommended course of treatments.
