What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that usually develops when an individual is in their teens, and can sometimes be controlled by medication, however for some people it is not always as simple, some people develop acne when they are older, others, however, may find that there acne will not clear away by medication and by maturing.
Acne affects men and women and can be both physically and emotionally upsetting, it is one of the most common and stubborn skin problems for teenagers and adults.
Active Acne Treatments
IPL is a means of treating active acne; this treatment destroys the acne bacteria which causes the infection leading to the break out of spots. The treatment also gently heats up the surrounding skin, which produces collagen stimulation, boosting the healing process and stimulating the natural mechanism for repairing of the skin. Varying on the treatment area the treatment time can differ, the treatment is extremely fast and an area of the face such as the cheeks may take less than 5 minutes to treat whilst the full face may take just 20 minutes.
During the treatment a cold gel can be applied to the area to be treated. After which the sapphire crystal waveguide is gently applied to the skin and pulses of light are then absorbed by your skin. You should feel no more than the sharp snap of a rubber band against the skin. The skin can appear slightly red after as the blood circulation to the face is increased, this will quickly subside with the use of aloe vera gel. This treatment requires no down time and regular activity can be resumed with some minimal restrictions e.g. vigorous activity.
Chemical peel which is also known as an AHA peel, combined with pre-care and aftercare products can gently help to eliminate active acne. Our skincare products utilise the most scientifically advanced formulas, and are designed for maximum results. Chemical peels renew skin by peeling away upper epidermal layers, revealing new skin below. This treatment works very well for those individual’s that have active acne. A consultation will be necessary prior to the treatment so that the consultant can advise what products will suit your skin best and that the treatments can be tailored to your own skin.
The result is visible, substantial improvement in the appearance of active acne. This treatment takes no longer than 30-40 minutes and only slight mild discomfort is felt during the treatment. Little recovery time can be needed after the treatment, although most people carry on with their daily activities as normal. Aftercare will be provided to you on your first treatment.
Acne scarring
The advanced rejuvenating system produces a light that eliminates blemishes without damaging the surrounding tissue. The Sapphire crystal waveguide conducts the filtered light to the target chromophore in the tissues causing the unwanted skin lesions to heat up, disintegrate and disappear. Collagen stimulation is promoted by the laser light being absorbed by the skin, this absorption stimulates as a healing response. This acts as a new foundation for the skin, reducing scarring and improving skin tone, the targeted laser light is delivered in very short pulses from a handpiece moved gently over the skin’s surface. Most patients describe the procedure as virtually painless although you may feel a warming sensation as the laser light is absorbed into the skin.
Chemical peels are not only designed to work well whilst an individual has active acne, but prove as a great treatment once the acne has settled down, the scars that remain from acne can be gently but effectively peeled away, peels are also especially effective in reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.
Chemical peels regenerate the skin and increase cell turnover improving the surface of the skin as dead skin cells shed off quicker than the average turnover speed resulting in a flawless even complexion free from acne scarring, discoloration , nd hyperpigmentation. Superficial lines and uneven pigmentation is also treated along with the reduction of acne and acne scarring.
