“Reduce breakouts. Restore balance. Reveal confidence.”

Acne Treatments

At Southern Ridge Studio, we use advanced Zenith light-based technologies, including Zenith Alpha IPL, Zenith Nova IPL, and targeted laser systems, to deliver refined acne treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs. Light-based therapy is highly effective for acne as it targets acne causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps regulate excess oil production, addressing the root causes of breakouts rather than just the surface symptoms.

Whether treating active acne, persistent inflammation, or post-acne redness, our personalised approach allows us to select the most appropriate technology to calm the skin, support healing, and promote long-term clarity. Treatments are designed to be gentle yet results-driven, improving skin health with minimal downtime and a refined, confident finish.

What Laser & Light-Based Acne Treatments Address

Laser and light-based acne treatments are designed to improve both active breakouts and the overall health of the skin. Using advanced Zenith technology, treatments can effectively target:

Active acne and breakouts
Acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes)
Inflammation and redness
Excess oil production
Congested and enlarged pores
Post-acne redness and uneven skin tone
Early textural changes associated with acne

By treating acne at multiple levels, bacteria, inflammation, and oil activity, light-based therapy supports clearer skin, faster healing, and a more balanced complexion over time.

Prices

The cost of acne treatments will depend on the area being treated and the severity of the acne concern. Factors such as skin type, acne grade, inflammation level, and the number of sessions required will influence your personalised treatment plan.

For clients requiring a series of treatments, package options may be available to support ongoing skin improvement and long-term results. All pricing, treatment expectations, and recommended sessions will be clearly discussed during your consultation, ensuring clarity and confidence before commencing treatment.

How it Works

Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments address acne by targeting the underlying causes of breakouts, not just the surface symptoms. At Southern Ridge Studio, treatments are carefully selected and customised to your skin type, acne severity, and treatment goals.

Laser and IPL treatments deliver specific wavelengths of light into the skin to target the key causes of acne. Light energy is absorbed by porphyrins produced by Cutibacterium acnes, reducing bacterial activity within the follicle. At the same time, controlled dermal heating helps regulate sebaceous gland activity, lowering excess oil production.

Laser and IPL also target inflammatory blood vessels, reducing redness and swelling associated with active breakouts. This combined action calms inflammation, normalises the follicular environment, and supports faster healing, resulting in fewer breakouts and clearer skin over a course of treatments.
