What is MDF Acne scar treatment?

Scar tissue is a reminder of history, but it is not something you have to carry with you forever. Using Lutronic's Hollywood Spectra device, our MDF (Multi-Depth Fractional) laser treatment effectively reduces atrophic acne scarring, enlarged pores, and rejuvenates the skin comprehensively.

This revolutionary treatment allows our practitioners to select different depths of focus to target specific scar concerns. For those with a lower pain threshold seeking a more comfortable alternative to eCO2 for scar revision, MDF is an outstanding option.

Who Is It For?

What Is Involved?

The Hollywood Spectra MDF treatment delivers short bursts of laser energy to the skin, creating microscopic channels that stimulate the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

The treatment is fully customisable for each individual, allowing our practitioners to target specific scar types and concerns with precision.

Treatment Goals

  • Reduction of atrophic acne scarring
  • Reduction of post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation
  • Reduction in size of enlarged pores
  • Refined skin texture and tone
  • Increased collagen and elastin production
  • Less downtime compared to ablative fractional lasers

Skin Conditions Targeted

  • Atrophic acne scar tissue

Aftercare

There is minimal downtime following MDF treatments. Patients may experience mild redness and petechiae (small red or purple spots from superficial bleeding) in the treatment area for up to 5 days after the procedure.

THE SDL PATHWAY

See the SDL 4-Phase Pathway Framework

Phase 1

Skin Preparation & Barrier Strengthening

Skin is stabilised through calming inflammation and barrier function repair. Some technologies and methods include the Lutronic DermaV, the SDL Glass Skin Method, and controlled chemical support.

Phase 2

Correction

Targeted device-based treatments are clinically introduced, spaced and layered. Technologies such as the PicoSure Pro may be used for laser toning, pigment management, resurfacing, and texture improvement.

Phase 3

Refinement

The focus shifts to refining skin tone, pore quality, and smoothness. This phase may involve the Lutronic LaseMD Ultra alongside SDL's depigmentation protocols.

Phase 4

Retainment (SDL Effect)

Structured skin maintenance is designed to help sustain results and support skin long-term. This may include regenerative treatments, periodic laser toning, and hydrating chemical support.

“I had struggled with scars, pimples, pimple marks, blemishes, and sunburn on my face for a long time before I discovered SDL Australia. At the beginning of my treatment journey, I didn't notice much of a difference. However, as I reached the end of the process, the transformation was truly amazing. Not only did the frequency of pimples reduce significantly, but I also saw a remarkable improvement in the disappearance of pimple marks.”
