Acne Scarring Treatments
A structured, medical approach to improving skin texture affected by acne scarring, based on scar type and individual skin characteristics.
Treatment Overview
Acne scarring occurs when inflammation disrupts normal skin healing, resulting in permanent textural changes. Treatment requires careful assessment of scar type, depth, and skin biology. A combination of techniques is often required, as no single treatment is suitable for all scar patterns.
Who it may be suitable for
Acne scarring treatment may be considered for individuals with stable acne and residual scarring who are seeking improvement in skin texture. Suitability depends on skin type, scar characteristics, and an understanding that improvement is gradual and variable.
Risks and considerations
Acne scarring cannot usually be completely removed. Outcomes depend on scar type and skin response. Risks may include pigmentation changes, prolonged redness, or limited improvement. Realistic expectations are essential and discussed during consultation.
Recovery and downtime
Recovery varies depending on the treatments selected. Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, and downtime ranges from minimal to more significant for certain procedures. Treatment plans are structured to balance effectiveness with recovery requirements.

Facial Volume Restoration and Contouring
Medically guided treatments to restore facial volume and support contour where changes in facial structure have occurred.
Treatment Overview
Facial volume restoration and contouring involves the use of injectable treatments to provide structural support, address volume loss, and refine facial contours. Treatment planning focuses on maintaining balance and proportion rather than altering natural facial features.
Who it may be suitable for
These treatments may be considered for individuals experiencing age related volume loss or contour changes. Suitability depends on anatomy, medical history, and individual goals, which are assessed during consultation.
Risks and considerations
All injectable treatments carry risk. Considerations include bruising, asymmetry, infection, and rare but serious complications such as vascular events. These risks, along with limitations and alternatives, are discussed in detail during consultation.
Recovery and downtime
Downtime is usually minimal. Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at injection sites. Most individuals resume normal activities shortly after treatment, with guidance provided as part of aftercare.

Thread Lift Treatments
A minimally invasive procedure designed to provide subtle tissue support using specialised absorbable threads.
Treatment Overview
Thread lift procedures involve the placement of biocompatible, absorbable threads beneath the skin to provide mechanical support and stimulate collagen production. The procedure may be considered for selected individuals seeking modest lifting or contour support without surgery.
Who it may be suitable for
Thread lift treatment may be considered for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are not seeking or suitable for surgical lifting procedures. Suitability depends on skin quality, degree of laxity, and realistic expectations.
Risks and considerations
Potential risks include asymmetry, discomfort, thread visibility or migration, and limited duration of effect. Results are temporary, and the procedure is not suitable for significant skin laxity. All risks are discussed during consultation.
Recovery and downtime
Downtime is generally short. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur and typically settles within several days. Temporary activity restrictions may be advised during early healing.
A consultation allows assessment of whether a thread lift is appropriate and discussion of alternative options.

Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
A fractional laser resurfacing procedure designed to improve skin texture and quality through controlled skin remodelling.
Treatment Overview
Fraxel CO₂ is an ablative fractional laser treatment that creates controlled micro injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen remodelling and resurfacing. It is typically performed in a hospital setting and may be considered for more significant skin texture concerns.
Who it may be suitable for
Fraxel CO₂ may be considered for individuals with moderate to severe textural changes, scarring, or sun damage. Suitability depends on skin type, medical history, and tolerance for downtime, and is assessed during consultation.
Risks and considerations
Risks may include infection, pigmentation changes, prolonged redness, or scarring. Careful patient selection, strict aftercare, and sun protection are essential to reduce risk. Limitations and alternatives are discussed during consultation.
Recovery and downtime
Downtime is more significant than with non-ablative treatments. Redness, swelling, peeling, and temporary skin sensitivity are expected during the healing phase, with recovery occurring over one to two weeks.
A consultation allows discussion of whether Fraxel CO₂ resurfacing may be appropriate for your skin concerns.

Chemical Skin Peels
Medically supervised skin resurfacing treatments designed to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity through controlled exfoliation.
Treatment overview
Chemical peels use carefully selected solutions to exfoliate the skin at varying depths. Superficial peels focus on surface renewal, while medium depth peels stimulate deeper skin remodelling. Treatment selection is based on skin type and clinical assessment.
Who it may be suitable for
Chemical peels may be considered for individuals with uneven skin tone, pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, acne, or rough skin texture. Not all skin types or conditions are suitable, and careful assessment is required.
Risks and considerations
Risks may include redness, irritation, pigmentation changes, or prolonged sensitivity. Medium depth peels carry higher risk and require medical supervision and adherence to aftercare instructions.
Recovery and downtime
Recovery depends on peel depth. Superficial peels involve minimal downtime with mild flaking. Medium depth peels require several days of visible peeling and strict sun protection during healing.
A consultation allows assessment of skin concerns and discussion of whether a chemical peel may be appropriate.

Skin Needling with Bioregenerative Agents
Learn more about Skin Needling with Bioregenerative Agents
A medically guided treatment that combines skin needling with regenerative substances to support skin quality and tissue response.
Treatment overview
Skin needling, also known as microneedling, involves creating controlled micro‑channels in the skin to stimulate natural repair processes. When combined with selected bioregenerative agents, this approach may support collagen production and assist with overall skin quality. The treatment is performed with careful technique and clinical oversight.
Who it may be suitable for
This option may be considered for individuals concerned with skin texture, fine lines, or early changes in skin quality. Suitability depends on skin condition, medical history, and individual goals, and is assessed during consultation.
Risks and considerations
As with any procedure, potential risks may include temporary redness, swelling, irritation, or sensitivity. There is also a risk of infection or inflammatory response if aftercare instructions are not followed. Not all skin types or conditions are suitable for treatment.
Recovery and downtime
Temporary redness and mild sensitivity are common and usually settle within a few days. Gradual improvements in skin quality may develop over time as the skin responds.
A consultation allows Dr Ken Brito to assess suitability and discuss whether this treatment approach may be appropriate.

Collagen Stimulating Treatment
Learn more about Collagen Stimulating Treatment
A non‑surgical treatment designed to support skin structure by encouraging the body’s natural collagen production.
Treatment overview
Collagen stimulating treatments involve the use of specific injectable or topical approaches aimed at activating the body’s natural regenerative processes. Rather than providing immediate volume, these treatments are designed to support gradual improvements in skin firmness and texture over time.
Who it may be suitable for
This treatment may be considered for individuals experiencing early to moderate skin laxity or changes in skin quality. Suitability depends on individual factors including skin condition, treatment goals, and medical history.
Risks and considerations
Possible risks may include swelling, bruising, tenderness, or inflammatory responses. Outcomes develop progressively, and it is important to maintain realistic expectations regarding the timing and extent of changes.
Recovery and downtime
Downtime varies depending on the treatment approach. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur and usually settles within several days. Skin changes develop gradually over weeks to months.
A consultation allows Dr Ken Brito to provide personalised advice regarding suitability.
