Acne treatment · Warsaw
Inflammatory acne treated with a long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser at our clinics in central Warsaw and Mokotów. The procedure targets the sebaceous glands and inflammatory lesions without damaging the skin surface, so there is no downtime.
Consultations and treatments are carried out in English. Both clinics are a short walk from a metro station.
How it works
The 1064 nm wavelength is absorbed deep in the skin and delivers heat to the sebaceous glands, reducing their activity.
Heat lowers sebum production and limits the environment in which C. acnes multiplies.
The thermal effect supports the reduction of inflammation in active lesions.
The skin is cooled throughout the session with the Cryo6 system, which improves comfort and protects the epidermis.
Who it is for
Papules and pustules, including cases where topical treatment has not brought the expected result.
Areas that are difficult to treat topically and often left untreated.
Treated with the same platform — we combine protocols during one course.
Assessed separately; scar work usually follows once inflammation is under control.
Treatments are performed by a cosmetologist or a doctor. You start with a free consultation, where a specialist assesses your skin and confirms the treatment is suitable. If your case calls for a broader medical view, you are referred to one of our doctors — some forms of acne need pharmacological treatment first, and we will tell you if that is the case.
Clinical evidence
The studies below concern Nd:YAG 1064 nm technology — the mechanism shared by this treatment. They describe results reported in the literature, not a promise of an individual outcome.
RCT · split-face
A randomised trial comparing fractional CO2 with long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm reported roughly 70% improvement in inflammatory lesions after the third session and about 86% at three-month follow-up for Nd:YAG.
Prospective · split-face
A prospective randomised split-face study assessed long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm in inflammatory acne in adolescents and adults, reporting a significant reduction in lesions.
Case series
A case series evaluated quasi-long-pulsed (micropulsed) Nd:YAG 1064 nm in active acne and documented improvement.
The appointment
We review your history, current medication and skin condition, and confirm there are no contraindications.
The area is cleansed and prepared before the laser is applied.
The Nd:YAG handpiece is passed over the area while cold air protects the epidermis.
Mild redness may last a few hours. No dressings, no recovery period.
The session is carried out by a cosmetologist or a doctor. Aftercare: sun protection SPF 50 for the following days, no sauna or intense exercise for 24 hours. The number of sessions is set individually at the consultation.
Booking
Choose the clinic that suits you. Treatment starts from 300 PLN per session. A course is usually 3–6 sessions at weekly intervals, and a single session takes 15–60 minutes depending on the area treated. The full cost is confirmed at the free consultation, before anything is booked.

Questions
Yes. Consultations, treatments and aftercare instructions are provided in English.
Most patients describe a warm, prickling sensation. The Cryo6 system cools the skin continuously, which makes the session comfortable without anaesthetic.
This depends on the severity and extent of the acne. The number is set at the consultation — we do not sell fixed packages before assessing your skin.
No. Redness may last a few hours. You can return to work the same day.
Yes, provided you avoid sun exposure on the treated area and use SPF 50. We will discuss timing at the consultation.
Some acne medications, in particular oral isotretinoin, affect eligibility. Tell us what you are taking at the consultation — if your case needs a physician's assessment, we arrange it before any treatment.
Card and cash are accepted at both clinics. Prices are in Polish złoty (PLN).
