Understanding Acne: Causes and Effects

Acne is the result of your skin’s oil glands overproducing oil, which can clog pores along with dead skin cells. This overproduction can be triggered by hormonal changes, stress, diet, and even certain cosmetics. The result? Blackheads, whiteheads, more painful pimples, and cysts.

The effects of acne go beyond skin deep. You might feel frustrated, embarrassed, and anxious about your appearance. Remember, you’re not alone, and effective treatments are available.

Customised Acne Solutions for You

After an in-depth consultation and thorough skin analysis, our skincare professionals will tailor an acne treatment plan that could include the following options.

Topical Treatments

Specialised skincare products can treat acne by reducing inflammation, unclogging pores, and decreasing the amount of oil your skin produces. They can also improve your skin’s overall appearance by targeting bacteria that cause acne, reducing redness and promoting smoother, healthier skin.

We offer a range of high-quality acne treatment products, including serums, blemish control pads, and masks.

Professional Peels

Professional salon skin peels can also treat acne by removing the top layers of the skin to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells. This process also minimises the appearance of acne scars.

We have various skin peels featuring different active ingredients, including

Innovative Laser Therapy for Acne and Acne Scar Treatment

Photo Rejuvenation

Our state-of-the-art, non-invasive photo rejuvenation system emits pulses of light to target and diminish acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote collagen production.

Five to fourteen days after treatment, the treated skin naturally sheds away, helping to repair damaged skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Innovative Acne Treatment
– Dermapen

A Dermapen device uses tiny needles to create micro-punctures on the skin’s surface without damaging the epidermis. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response to promote collagen and elastin production. So, as the skin repairs itself, it plumps up from underneath, smoothing out acne scars.

Additionally, the tiny channels the Dermapen creates increase the absorption of topical acne treatment products deep into the dermis, maximising their effect.

Healite II: A Gentle Approach
to Acne Management

Healite II treatment delivers saturated LED energy deep into tissues to stimulate cellular activity and increase blood flow and healing. Inflammation is reduced, and acne-causing bacteria are eliminated to lessen active acne and minimise the appearance of scars.

Did we mention that Healite II treatment is non-invasive and pain-free? Win-win!

Skincare and Lifestyle Tips

To support your acne treatment process and prevent future breakouts,

we recommend following these tips:

  1. Cleanse your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt.
  2. Exfoliate 2-3 times weekly to shed dead skin cells and promote new cell growth.
  3. Moisturise your skin with a moisturiser suited to your skin type.
  4. Apply acne-fighting products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
  5. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
  6. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid sugary foods and dairy products that may trigger acne.
  7. Exercise regularly to increase blood circulation, which helps nourish skin cells and keep them healthy.
  8. Try yoga, meditation, or deep breathing to manage your stress, as high stress levels can increase the hormone cortisol, which may worsen acne.
  9. Choose makeup and skincare products labelled “non-comedogenic,” meaning they won’t clog pores.
  10. Use sunscreen daily, even when cloudy, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays that can exacerbate acne and scars.
  11. Avoid touching your face, and keep your pillowcases and towels clean.

FAQs About Acne Treatment

Topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can help reduce inflammation and clear clogged pores for quick acne relief. Spot treatments are designed to cover and treat pimples can also speed up healing. Applying ice is great for reducing swelling and redness.

For persistent or severe acne, consulting a dermatologist for professional treatments like cortisone injections may provide faster results.
