Laser acne treatment Mediostar Monolith
Laser acne treatment with the modern Mediostar Monolith laser is a safe and effective way to fight skin blemishes. The treatment relies on the precise action of a laser beam on acne lesions and sebaceous glands. The laser energy has an anti-inflammatory effect, destroys the bacteria responsible for breakouts and reduces sebum secretion, which limits the formation of new lesions.
About the treatment
The Mediostar Monolith laser additionally stimulates skin regeneration, improves its structure and speeds up healing. As a result we not only reduce active acne lesions, but also reduce redness, pigmentation and post-acne scars. The treatment is non-invasive and well tolerated, and the skin does not need a long recovery afterwards.
After just a few treatments a clear improvement in the skin is visible: it becomes smoother and less oily, and blemishes are definitely reduced. Laser acne treatment with Mediostar Monolith is an ideal offer for people looking for a modern, effective and safe way to fight acne and restore a healthy look to their skin.

After the treatment: what to expect
Right after the treatment the skin is red and warm, as after sunbathing. This usually passes within a few hours, sometimes within 1-2 days. You may feel tightness and slight dryness. You return to your daily routine straight away.
A few new spots may appear over the next few days. This is usually a short-lived purge of the skin rather than a worsening. Do not squeeze the spots, because you may leave pigmentation or scars.
For a week use gentle cleansing, a moisturiser and a cream with SPF 50. For 48 hours avoid saunas, swimming pools and intense exercise. Until the skin calms down, usually a few days, do not use strong products such as retinoids, acids and peels. Avoid the sun and solariums. If you use acne medication, tell us before the treatment.
