AC Dual – Active Acne Control + Post-Acne Repair Treatment
AC Dual is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment designed to improve acne pits (indented scarring), post-acne marks, and uneven skin texture. Using NanoFractional Radiofrequency (RF) technology with Venus Viva™, it delivers controlled energy beneath the skin’s surface to support collagen renewal and long-term skin repair.
By targeting both texture and tone concerns after breakouts, AC Dual helps refine the look of enlarged pores, smooth uneven areas, and fade stubborn post-acne discolouration for a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
Treatment Highlights
- Improves acne pits and indented acne scarring
- Helps fade post-acne marks and uneven pigmentation (PIH)
- Smooths rough texture and supports overall skin resurfacing
- Refines the look of enlarged pores and acne-related texture changes
- Non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime

Ideal Candidates for AC Dual
AC Dual may be suitable for clients who:
- Have acne pits, rolling/boxcar-type acne scarring, or uneven texture
- Have post-acne marks, redness, or pigmentation left after breakouts
- Notice enlarged pores or roughness following acne
- Want visible improvement without invasive procedures
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking results over time
A personalised consultation is required to assess your skin, scar type, and whether AC Dual is the right approach for your goals.
Treatment Technology
AC Dual uses fractional micro-electrode pins to deliver RF energy beneath the skin’s surface, creating controlled micro-injuries. This triggers the skin’s natural healing response and supports collagen regeneration—key for improving the appearance of acne pits and uneven texture.
As the skin renews over time, texture becomes smoother and post-acne marks may appear lighter, helping the complexion look clearer, more even, and more refined.
