Acne occurs when too much sebum is mixed with dead skin cells, forming a plug in the pores of our skin. The pores get blocked, bacteria sets in to create redness and swelling and pimples form. This may lead to pus-filled infections, breakouts, wounds, and scarring.
Take a look at my skin condition, it is so bad that I will feel frustrated at times because the affected area hurt so much whenever there is an acne occurrent, especially at the chin area. Because of my flaw I've got to put on cream foundation every day which is not healthy for the skin.
Dr. Terence Tan prescribed a treatment that combines the power of three lasers which are known for addressing acne problem. Halley’s Signature 3 Laser Acne Treatment consists of:
Hearing that I am having an upcoming outdoor activity right after the treatment week, Dr. Tan customized the treatment by removing the Fractional CO2 laser as there might be some scabbing, which would not be ideal for me.
- Fractional CO2 laser
- Long Pulsed laser
- Fractional Erbium laser
About the lasers
The Micro Laser Peel - This is a controlled laser resurfacing peel with the Erbium laser, which is non-invasive and has no downtime. It removes a very fine layer of the epidermis (top layer of the skin) to reveal skin that is smoother and younger looking. This laser also promotes collagen production to tighten the skin, smoothen wrinkles and fine lines, reduce acne scarring and pigmentation.
My treatment process
 |
| First, cleansing is being done for removal of make up |
 |
| Numbing cream is then applied and left for a few minutes for it to be absorbed into the skin |
 |
| Wore an eye protection and started off with the Long Pulsed laser done by Dr. Tan |

Followed by the Micro Laser Peel with the Erbium laser

After the laser treatment, I can resume my normal routine, but Dr. Tan advises me to minimize sun exposure for a week and to apply sunblock daily on the treated area.
No downtime after micro-laser peel
 | My overall experience was pleasant. The process may seem scary because of the types of equipment and tools used, in fact, it's not painful at all. All I felt during the process was only "ant-bite". Dr. Tan also did frequent checks with me when he was treating area to area to make sure that I was feeling alright. About 3 days later, my skin started to peel. However, it was a mild one, not visible if the person is not standing within my comfort zone. Although the skin is at the state of peeling, there isn't a feeling of dryness, itch or pain at all. I still continue my usual makeup routine. 1 week later, my acne started to clear up slowly, except for the chin area. But I am scheduled for another session with Dr. Tan to further improve my skin. Now I dare to go out even without any makeup foundation. |

Long Pulsed laser = $370/session
Erbium Micro Laser Peel = $270/session

You've got to read about the cheek fat removal that I have done too, many have seen an improvement in my face shape and gave me compliments. Getting aesthetic treatment done at a reputable clinic really does make a difference on the outcome, so make your money worthwhile by choosing wisely.
