Our approach

Clearer skin,
from the inside out.

Acne is a complex condition — and effective treatment rarely comes down to a single solution. At BYGOLDEN, we take a program-based approach, combining clinically proven modalities to address active breakouts, prevent recurrence and improve the longer-term appearance of scarring and post-inflammatory marks.

Whether you're dealing with persistent breakouts, congestion, textural scarring or stubborn post-acne pigmentation, our clinicians will assess your skin and design a treatment program that targets the underlying causes — not just the surface symptoms.

All treatments are performed at our Parkdale, Melbourne clinic and are preceded by a thorough skin consultation to ensure the right approach for your skin type, acne severity and goals.

Modality 01

Acne
Laser

Clear Skin Laser

Acne laser treatment works deep within the pore — targeting the sebaceous glands, reducing excess oil production and destroying the acne-causing bacteria responsible for active breakouts. The controlled thermal energy also calms inflammation in the skin, helping existing lesions resolve more quickly while reducing the likelihood of new ones forming.

Unlike topical treatments that work only at the skin's surface, laser technology addresses acne at the source — producing a meaningful reduction in breakout frequency and severity over a structured course of treatments.

The treatment is well tolerated, involves minimal downtime and is safe for use across most skin types. It is particularly effective for inflammatory acne, papules and pustules, and is often used as part of a broader treatment program alongside chemical peels.

Commonly used for
Active breakouts Inflammatory acne Papules & pustules Excess oil & congestion Acne-related redness Recurrent breakouts
Consultation type
Skin Consultation

Treatment time

~30–45 minutes
Well tolerated with minimal preparation required. Most clients return to normal activity immediately following treatment.

Recommended course

4–6 sessions
A course of treatments produces the most sustained reduction in breakout frequency and severity. Spacing and number of sessions will be advised at consultation.

Downtime

Minimal
Mild redness may occur and typically resolves within hours. Most clients return to their normal routine the same day.

Modality 02

Collagen
Induction
Therapy

Microneedling

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) — commonly known as microneedling — is one of the most effective treatments available for acne scarring. Fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface, triggering a natural wound-healing response that stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin from within.

Over a course of treatments, this collagen remodelling progressively improves the appearance of icepick, boxcar and rolling acne scars — as well as post-inflammatory marks and overall skin texture. Results are genuine and build gradually, as the improvements are generated by your own skin's repair process.

At BYGOLDEN, CIT for acne scarring is tailored to your specific scar type and skin condition — and is often combined with other modalities for a more comprehensive outcome.

Commonly used for
Icepick scarring Boxcar scarring Rolling scars Post-inflammatory marks Skin texture & tone Enlarged pores
Consultation type
Skin Consultation

Treatment time

~45 minutes
Inclusive of preparation and numbing. Allow a little extra time at your first appointment for a thorough skin assessment.

Recommended course

3–6 sessions
Results develop progressively over a course of treatments. Most clients see meaningful improvement in scar appearance after three or more sessions.

Downtime

Minimal
Mild redness and warmth for 24–48 hours following treatment. Most clients return to normal activity the following day.

Modality 03

Chemical
Peels

Skin Peels

Chemical peels are a highly effective tool in the management of both active acne and post-acne skin concerns. By applying a carefully selected chemical solution to the skin's surface, peels accelerate cell turnover — lifting away dead skin cells, excess oil and the build-up within pores that can trigger new breakouts.

For active acne, peels help to decongest the skin, reduce the bacterial environment that drives breakouts, and calm inflammation. For post-acne concerns, they are particularly effective at fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and improving overall skin tone and texture.

At BYGOLDEN, peels are selected and tailored to your skin type and acne presentation — ranging from milder superficial peels for sensitive or reactive skin to deeper formulations for more established congestion, scarring or pigmentation.

Commonly used for
Active congestion Comedonal acne Post-inflammatory pigmentation Uneven skin tone Skin texture Dull or thickened skin
Consultation type
Skin Consultation

Treatment time

~30–45 minutes
A quick, in-clinic treatment with no anaesthetic required. Peel depth and formulation are selected at your consultation.

Recommended course

3–6 sessions
A series of peels spaced several weeks apart produces the most meaningful and cumulative improvement in skin clarity and tone.

Downtime

Low to moderate
Mild flaking and sensitivity in the days following treatment is normal. Superficial peels involve minimal downtime; deeper formulations may require a few days of skin recovery.

The approach

How we treat acne & scarring

Effective acne treatment addresses the condition at multiple levels — from the active bacterial and inflammatory drivers of breakouts, to the textural and pigmentation changes that remain after acne heals. At BYGOLDEN, we combine modalities to treat both.

Active acne

Targeting the source

Active acne is driven by a combination of excess sebum, blocked pores and bacterial overgrowth. Laser treatment addresses this at the source — penetrating the pore to reduce oil production, destroy acne-causing bacteria and calm the inflammation responsible for painful, visible breakouts. Chemical peels support this by decongesting the skin's surface and creating an environment less favourable to new lesion formation.
Post-acne marks

Fading discolouration

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — the dark or red marks left after acne heals — results from excess melanin production triggered by skin trauma. Chemical peels accelerate cell turnover, lifting pigmented cells to the surface and gradually restoring a more even skin tone. Laser treatments can also assist in breaking down superficial pigmentation over a course of sessions.
Acne scarring

Rebuilding skin structure

Acne scars — including icepick, boxcar and rolling variants — result from damage to the skin's collagen architecture during active acne. Collagen Induction Therapy stimulates new collagen production from within the dermis, progressively remodelling scar tissue and improving skin texture over a course of treatments. Results are genuine and lasting, built by your skin's own repair processes.
Clinically proven technology

A curated suite of treatments

We use a range of clinically proven laser and skin treatment platforms selected for their safety, efficacy and suitability across skin types. Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate combination for your skin and acne concern at consultation.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

BYGOLDEN uses a multi-modality approach to acne treatment — combining acne laser, collagen induction therapy and chemical peels to address active breakouts, post-acne pigmentation and scarring. The right combination is selected by your clinician at your skin consultation based on your specific skin concerns and goals.
Yes. Laser treatments can assist in improving the appearance of acne scarring — particularly post-inflammatory pigmentation and superficial textural changes — by stimulating collagen remodelling and accelerating skin renewal. For deeper textural scarring such as icepick or boxcar scars, collagen induction therapy is typically the most effective modality. A course of treatments produces the most meaningful improvement.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your acne or scarring and which modalities are used. Most clients benefit from a structured course of three to six treatments. Your clinician will advise a specific program at your skin consultation based on a thorough assessment of your skin.
The laser and treatment technologies used at BYGOLDEN are safe and effective across all skin types and tones. Treatment parameters are tailored to your individual skin at your consultation, and any contraindications will be discussed with you prior to commencing treatment.
Downtime varies by modality. Acne laser generally involves minimal downtime — mild redness resolving within hours. Chemical peels may involve mild flaking in the days following treatment. Collagen induction therapy involves redness and warmth for 24–48 hours. Your clinician will provide detailed aftercare guidance at every appointment.
Yes — acne laser and certain chemical peels are specifically designed for use on active acne and are most effective when used during active breakout phases. Collagen induction therapy for scarring is generally performed once the skin is in a stable phase. Your clinician will assess your skin at consultation and advise the best sequencing for your program.
Yes. A skin consultation is required before commencing any acne treatment program at BYGOLDEN. This allows your clinician to assess your acne type, skin condition and goals — and design the most appropriate combination of treatments. Book online or call us on 03 7047 7704.
