For a long time, acne was associated exclusively with the hormonal storm of puberty, and even the name itself – hormonal acne – indicated this. However, nowadays this problem is increasingly affecting adults as well, and it is really a nuisance. Not everything can be handled by yourself at home with skin care and makeup. Aesthetic medicine has come out to deal with these problems and now has effective methods to deal with this problem.
What exactly is acne?
Acne is a disease, not just unsightly lesions on the face and sometimes the body. There are three phases of advancement:
- Blackheads, or small (white or black) spots, often called blackheads,
- papules and pustules – they are convex and red, indicative of developing inflammation,
- Pus-filled nodules that indicate infection of the deeper layers of the skin.
Anyone who has ever tried to get rid of acne knows that it’s not quick and easy. Most often it succeeds in getting rid of imperfections to some extent, but this is a short-lived effect, as acne tends to recur. In addition, there is another danger, which is especially true of third-stage lesions – permanent scarring can remain on the skin.
Doctors do not know the exact causes of adult acne, but speculate that genetic background, stress and taking certain medications – especially hormones and antidepressants – may be responsible.
How to treat acne? The answer is very simple – you should visit a specialist as soon as possible, who will take a close look at our problem and choose the best method to combat it. It is not worth doing anything on your own, as you can only exacerbate your symptoms and worsen your skin condition.
Alma Harmony XL Pro-Acne Platform
It is one of the most modern lasers for acne treatment, and Beauty Skin Clinic has it. It eliminates not only the symptoms, but also the remnants, namely scars and furrows.
The laser beam works on the deepest layers of the skin, which is why its effectiveness is so high, plus the possibility of spreading unsightly lesions is reduced.
The treatment is completely painless and non-invasive, and after a series of treatments (each takes only 15-20 minutes), you can forget about acne. Another advantage is that the procedure can be performed even in the active phase of the disease and no other therapy needs to be used in parallel. This is by far the shortest and most effective way to treat acne.
Peeling DermaQuest
For milder forms of acne and less troublesome skin lesions, specialists at Beauty Skin Clinic recommend two types of peel: pumpkin and Jessner, which effectively cleanse and smooth the complexion.
Pumpkin peeling is recommended for sensitive skin and skin prone to redness. It is excellent at dealing with inflammation, purulent lesions and excessive sebum production.
Jessner’s scrub, on the other hand, combines the effects of salicylic acid and lactic acid. Reduces acne symptoms as well as scars and discoloration.
Peelings should be performed in spring or autumn, when sunlight is not high. The type of preparation and the number of necessary treatments are always decided by the specialist, when he conducts a thorough interview with the patient and learns about his problems and expectations.
