Laser Skin Treatment

Laser therapy at IDS Clinic Singapore spans a wide range of indications and technologies, allowing the treating doctor to select the most appropriate modality for each patient's specific skin concern and skin type. The clinic's laser portfolio includes ablative resurfacing lasers, non-ablative fractional devices, picosecond systems, and targeted vascular lasers.

Ablative lasers — including carbon dioxide (CO2) and erbium YAG systems — remove the outer layers of damaged or scarred skin, prompting new skin cell growth and significant collagen remodelling. These are highly effective for moderate to severe acne scars, deep wrinkles, and textural irregularities. The trade-off is a more pronounced recovery period of 5 to 14 days, during which the skin heals with new, smoother tissue.

Non-ablative fractional lasers deliver controlled micro-injuries through columns of laser energy while leaving surrounding tissue intact, accelerating healing and reducing downtime. This category includes 1550 nm and 1927 nm fractional devices that are effective for mild acne scarring, enlarged pores, and early photoageing.
