Acne Treatments
Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point in their lives. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that's hot or painful to touch. It is the most common skin condition with nearly 85% of people experiencing it at some point in their lives. We understand how acne can create such a distressing physical and emotional effect that leaves individuals feeling self-conscious.
During an initial consultation we assess the severity of your acne and tailor an individual treatment plan employing a combination of treatments and products to soothe acne and compose clear skin.
Acne presents itself as:
-
blackheads – small black bumps that develop on the skin and appear black because the inner lining of the hair follicle produces pigmentation
-
whiteheads – small white bumps that are similar to blackheads
-
papules – small red bumps that may feel tender or sore
-
pustules – similar to papules, but have a white tip in the centre, caused by a build-up of pus
-
nodules – large hard lumps that build up beneath the surface of the skin and can be painful
-
cysts – the most severe type of spot caused by acne; they're large pus-filled lumps that look similar to boils and carry the greatest risk of causing permanent scarring

The combination of treatments administered will specifically reduce the impact of your acne by controlling inflammation and other symptoms.

High-frequency is a treatment which stimulates, disinfects and heals the skin, while desincrustation is deeply cleansing and suitable for people with congested, combination or oily skin type.
In these services dead skin cells and fatty acids of sebum are softened. This has a cleansing action upon the skin's surface.

Salicylic acid is derived from the bark of a willow tree and is an ideal treatment for anyone that is suffering from mild to moderate acne.
The peel acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial agent to reduce inflammation and sebum production.
It helps to control breakouts, whilst reducing redness and improving skin texture. Moreover, it is antimicrobial and effective at releasing hardened sebum to decongest skin and to help prevent further breakouts.
