Advanced Acne Treatments

What is acne?

Acne is a disease that affects the skin's oil glands. Acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms.  Glands in our pores/follicles produce an oily substance called sebum.  When the follicle of a skin gland clogs up, it causes an infection, and a pustule forms. 

Acne mostly affects teenagers to some extent, however, it is not restricted to any age group.  Adults in their 20s and even into their 40s can get acne.  While acne is not a life threatening condition, acne can be upsetting and effect an individual’s self esteem.  Furthermore, when severe, acne can lead to serious and permanent scarring.  The only sure method of preventing or limiting the extent of scars is to treat acne early in its course, and for as long as necessary. The more that inflammation can be prevented or moderated, the more likely it is that scars can be prevented.

What treatments are available to treat acne and acne scarring?

IPL / Laser

IPL / Laser employ a broad spectrum of light to attack acne on two fronts:

1. Absorption by porphyrins destroys p. acne bacteria for a quick clearance of current acne breakouts
2. Hyperactive sebaceous glands are injured to slow down their metabolism to prevent future acne from forming.

The advantage of using this method of acne treatment is that it doesn't involve medication and can be performed in the office without relying on the patient's compliance at home. Use of IPL / LASER offers acne sufferers a non-drug, easy and effective alternative without the side effects commonly found with drugs.

Purity Peel

Our medicinal peel employs high-tech, exfoliant ingredients to fight the bacteria that cause acne. An advanced peel treatment, it resolves breakouts, smoothes scarring and dissolves deep follicular congestion while it decreases inflammation and promotes healing.

This is a medium intensity peel formulated to exfoliate and tame active acne. Anti-oxidant infusion evens skin tone and reduces scarring. Your skin will be balanced to lessen congestion, improve acne, diminish scarring and stimulate growth of new epidermal tissue. Helps prevent premature aging.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, gentle process of using crystals accelerated onto the skin’s surface to abrade layers of dead and damaged skin cells. Microdermabrasion is useful for decongesting skin with open pores and comedones.  Its aids in promoting an even and clearer complexion, by smoothing pigmentation and scarring due to acne.
