Whilst acne is usually associated with puberty, it is actually one of the most common skincare concerns, and can continue well into adulthood. Unfortunately, it can have a negative impact on overall self-confidence, which is why you might want to consider acne treatment.
Now, when looking at acne treatment, there are several methods available, which we will outline in this blog, but first, it helps to understand a little more about the condition itself.
What causes acne?
Acne refers to breakouts and blemishes on the skin that may appear in specific areas or cover the entire surface of the skin. Now, acne presents itself as blackheads, whiteheads, red lumps (papules), or pus-filled spots which can unfortunately lead to scarring on the skin. How your acne presents itself will help us to determine a suitable treatment path for you.
But what causes acne? Well, put simply acne is caused by a build-up of bacteria and sebum within the skin that causes infected lesions, resulting in inflammation and acne breakouts. Now, acne doesn’t just affect the face, it can form in any area on the body with larger oil glands, including the face, back, and neck.
Some of the leading causes of acne include:
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Lifestyle
- External factors, including skincare, makeup, and sun damage.
- Poor skin health,
- Trauma
- Intolerances/Allergies
Acne Treatment
When looking for an acne treatment method that will work for you, you should seek the help of a trained professional who will be able to assess your skin and identify any potential root causes. From there, we will be able to recommend an acne treatment path that will address your individual needs.
From the initial breakout to the subsequent pigmentation and scarring it can leave behind, we understand how frustrating acne is. That is why we have created a range of effective treatment methods built specifically for you to help address the condition, including mesotherapy, and collagen induction therapy.
Our six-step Skin NV Acne & Acne Scarring Package can be specifically tailored to your skin’s needs. During your initial consultation, we will conduct a full skin examination to identify which steps would be most beneficial for you.
We firmly believe that bespoke combination treatments are among the most effective methods. Combination treatments allow us to penetrate the deeper layers of skin, target the root cause of acne, and help address scarring and pigmentation left behind.
The steps include:
Micro-infusion treatments – This treatment delivers a complex combination of active ingredients and skin-loving vitamins to the deeper layers of the skin to support overall health.
Collagen Induction Therapy – which helps stimulate new collagen production within the skin to boost overall skin quality and help combat acne scarring.
LED Therapy – This targets and helps to heal any inflammation caused by acne and can also be an effective tool in boosting your skin’s response to treatment.
Skincare – We will prescribe you medical-grade skincare solutions that you can incorporate into your daily routine to help support your acne treatment journey and maintain your results. Your aesthetic doctor will advise you on how to use and apply each product for the best possible results.
Chemical exfoliation treatments – These are highly effective treatments to aid natural exfoliation by clearing the pores of any dead skin cells and acne-causing bacteria. They use medical-grade active ingredients that are pushed into the skin to target acne, pigmentation, and scarring.
