Acne Laser Programme
A medication-free, 3-step laser programme designed to address the root causes of acne (controlling sebum production, eliminating acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation) for consistently clearer, healthier skin.
What it is
Works at a cellular level.
Unlike topical treatments that manage symptoms, the DJY Acne Laser Programme works at a cellular level using FDA-approved laser technologies developed and refined through Dr Jinah Yoo's Korean dermatology protocols.
It also improves pore tightening, reduces post-acne redness and restores skin texture, without prescription drugs or downtime.
Why choose this programme
Four reasons it differs.
Completely medication-free
Achieves lasting acne clearance without antibiotics, retinoids or hormonal treatments, ideal for those who want to avoid systemic medication.
Targets root causes
Addresses all three drivers of acne (excess sebum, C. acnes bacteria and skin cell overgrowth) rather than masking symptoms.
Fully personalised
Dr Yoo assesses your acne type, severity and skin profile before creating a bespoke laser protocol tailored specifically to you.
Visible results early
Many patients see measurable reduction in active breakouts within the first two sessions, with continued improvement over the full programme.

Benefits
What the programme delivers.
Laser energy destroys acne-causing bacteria and reduces active inflammation at the source.
Regulates overactive sebaceous glands to prevent future blockages and breakouts.
Stimulates collagen around follicles to visibly reduce pore size and refine skin texture.
Targets residual erythema and post-inflammatory discolouration left after spots heal.
Resume normal activities immediately, no prolonged redness, peeling or healing period.
How the programme works
What actually happens.
Skin assessment and acne diagnosis
Dr Jinah Yoo performs a thorough clinical assessment of your acne type, triggers, skin barrier status and treatment history. This determines your personalised 3-step laser protocol, including device selection, energy settings and session frequency.
Consultant-ledLaser sebum regulation
A 1064nm Nd:YAG laser targets overactive sebaceous glands, reducing excess oil production that feeds acne bacteria and contributes to pore congestion. This step also begins to reduce surface inflammation and active spots.
1064nm Nd:YAGBlue light and PDT bacterial clearance
Targeted blue light and photodynamic therapy activate porphyrins within C. acnes bacteria, destroying them from within. This directly reduces the microbial load responsible for inflammatory breakouts without antibiotics.
No antibioticsFractional resurfacing and pore refinement
A gentle fractional laser stimulates controlled skin cell renewal, tightening pores, fading redness and smoothing early scarring. This step also supports collagen regeneration to restore an even, healthy skin texture.
Collagen regenerationSoothing care and homecare plan
A calming post-laser mask reduces any transient redness and supports skin recovery. Dr Yoo provides a personalised homecare and skincare protocol to maintain results between sessions and prevent future breakouts.

Yes. The programme is tailored to your specific acne type, whether inflammatory, comedonal, cystic, hormonal or rosacea-related. Dr Yoo adjusts the protocol based on a thorough clinical assessment at your first appointment.
Most patients see significant improvement after 4–6 sessions. A full programme is typically 6–8 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart. Dr Yoo will recommend the ideal course length based on your skin's response.
There is no downtime. Some patients experience mild redness for a few hours post-treatment, which resolves quickly. You can return to work and daily activities immediately after your appointment.
Yes, and in many cases it is beneficial. Dr Yoo will advise on any skincare adjustments needed during your programme and whether complementary treatments such as the Acne Control Programme would enhance your results.
Many patients notice a reduction in active breakouts and oiliness after 1–2 sessions. Full results, including improved pore appearance and skin texture, build progressively over the complete programme.
