Acne

Acne can have a negative impact on your life by damaging your self-confidence. But Acne is not something you have to simply cope with. Acne is predominantly caused by a build up of dead skin and the overproduction of oil. This then becomes infected by the P. Acnes bacteria. When this happens it can cause comedones (blackheads) and pustules (yellow heads).

There is no absolute or permanent cure for acne, but the symptoms and side effects of acne such as oil control and spots can be controlled so your skin can be clear and spot free by effectively clearing the dead skin, controlling the oil and killing the P. Acnes bacteria.

What Causes Acne?

There are a number of causes of acne. This can be due to anything from makeup blocking pores, stress and hormonal issues. The predominant cause of acne is sebum (oil) production which can swiftly lead to spots and pimples.

When you have acne, pores become blocked with dead skin so the sebum (oil) cannot escape resulting in white heads, blackheads and milia. Some people make more oil – for example teenagers due to hormone changes. The blocked pores become infected with P. Acnes bacteria resulting in spots and pimples and even acne. As a result the skin will become more red and inflamed.

By controlling the sebum production and creating a healthy skincare routine, you can treat both the cause and symptoms of acne and have lifelong beautiful skin.

Treatments

There are a number of treatments we offer to help the skin. The first thing we recommend is using our cosmeceutical range ZO Skin Health by Dr Zein Obagi. This has incredible results by targeting oil production, cleansing and exfoliating the skin, removing the P. Acnes bacteria, restoring a healthy skin barrier function and restoring a normal skin cycle. By adding in Retinols, you can also improve the texture of skin including acne scarring by helping with the production of fresh skin cells.

In combination with ZO Skin Health, we would also recommend a course of HydraFacials which can fight acne, clean and exfoliate the skin and ensure all debris is removed from pores. This will help to not only target breakouts, but also diminish the appearance of scarring and help to keep your skin pimple free. This is followed by a LED light treatment which is clinically proven to help with healing, promote collagen production and kill bacteria on the skin.

Chemical Peels–The peel will deeply cleans the skin help cleare congestion and stimulate skin renewal.

Laser can also be used to directly treat active acne lesions including underlying cystic nodules. The laser targets the sebum and inflammation at the root of the sebaceous gland destroying acne bacteria.
