[b]Dr. Chee Yew Wen[/b] explains acne vulgaris as a common skin issue faced by many people, including both men and women, and it occurs generally during puberty due to hormonal changes. Acne causes the skin to become oil and comedones can be found on the forehead, nose and chin area. Excess sebum secretion, hormones, bacteria and genes are major causes of acne.

A few non-invasive laser treatments that can be done to improve acne skin are provided by [b]Dr. Chee Yew Wen[/b] at his clinic – The Chelsea Clinic. One of the most effective acne control, oil reduction and booster of skin radiance treatment that he provides is Carbon Laser Peel. The procedure is as follows -

- Primarily, a thin layer of black solution made of fine carbon powder is first applied onto the clean and bare skin, which can reduce the acne inflammation, absorb dirt and exfoliate the skin.

- Before using the laser to break down the carbon solution, the solution is left on the skin to dry for about 10 minutes. The carbon particles penetrate deeply into the pores and absorb debris found in them.

- Later on, during the laser procedure, the heat produced from the carbon powder stimulates collagen production, destroys acne bacteria and helps shrink your pores.

- The procedure is relatively painless with no downtime, and only a slight sensation is experienced by the patient.
