Acne
“I know how much acne can affect self-esteem. I was an acne sufferer for many years and was bullied by my peers because of my skin condition. It’s the very reason I became a Dermal Therapist and I never want anyone to go through the same torment”

The Three C’s of Acne & Pimples – Condition, Cause, Clinical Solution
THE CONDITION
Long before a pimple appears on the skin, acne has been forming deep below the surface. In order to improve the appearance of problematic skin, from puberty through to adult acne, 5 key areas must be addressed in order to see results and improvement in the affected skin.
THE CAUSE
- Abundance of oil glands
- Stickier, thicker oil
- Irritation
- Slowed cell exfoliation rate
- Bacteria
THE CLINICAL SOLUTION
“A thorough understanding of all the causes of acne helps me to formulate the most effective clinic strategies and homecare treatment options – also believing there is a strong link between internal gut health and acne lesions. Importantly however, if upon assessment if I feel a client needs the help of a medical professional I will refer to a specialised Dermatologist”

Clinical Strategy for Acne & Pimples
“Following a thorough consultation, my customised treatment strategies incorporate light-based technologies strategically performed in conjunction with medical peels. Actively targeting the bacteria that cause breakouts, in addition, these treatments work to heal weakened skin and prevent scarring”

Treating acne with light-based technology works by destroying the P-acnes bacteria, then rejuvenating and healing the skin to reduce acne scarring. Results from clinical studies have seen an 82% reduction in lesion (pimple) count, sebum (oil) production reduced by over 50%, a marked reduction in pore size, and 78% of clearance of lesions in the 8 weeks following the final treatment.

With each medical peel, a specific treatment is selected and customised to your skin’s requirements that day. Targeting every factor that contributes to acne in the skin, medical peels produce incredible results when used in conjunction with the correct daily use of clinical skincare.
Home Maintenance for Acne & Pimples
“ A synergy of different ingredients in homecare products works effectively against the five contributing factors of acne. But don’t forget bacteria breeding grounds such as mobile phones, pillows and other bed linen, or anything that touches the face such as hair, scarves or high collars which may cause irritation”
