Which Acne Treatment is Right for my Skin?

It goes without saying that dealing with acne can do so much for an individual in terms of their personal wellbeing and comfort in their own skin. Acne scars can have a negative impact on your psychosocial wellbeing, causing anxiety, depression and a sense of morbidity. Of course, some individuals’ are more extreme than others, but approximately 80% of the population is affected by acne outbreaks between ages 11 and 30, with 95% of this number having been left with scarring.

It doesn’t have to be permanent, though. There are various products available that can reduce or in some cases completely heal scarring. However, it can be confusing as to what products will work for your skin and which treatments are right for you. So, here are some recommendations.

Botox Injections

Botox can be used to treat acne in a number of ways. It can be injected into the skin itself and it can also be injected into the muscles underneath the skin.

Botulinum toxin acts locally on muscle tissue, so it is able to relax the muscles that are causing acne. This means that it can be used to reduce inflammation, which is one of the main causes of acne.

Is the Obagi BPR Treatment right for me?

An Obagi BPR, unlike some other methods of skin care resurgence, brings your skin complexion to life after only one treatment. The peel effectively exfoliates the damaged skin layers, leaving skin transformed and radiant with almost no waiting time.

The Obagi BPR is suitable for the majority of skin types. However, certain darker skin types such as Mediterranean, Asian, and African may have to use further produce on the skin after the treatment to reduce the chance of side effects. Therefore, definitely consult your doctor first.

 

Augmentation

Commonly used for bringing balance and refined proportion to the structural appearance of your face, augmentation is also an ideal treatment to successfully remove acne scars. The remedy involves injecting the face with collagen from other parts of the body in order to stimulate the body’s natural collagen to clear the scar.

 

Is Augmentation treatment right for me?

Collagen augmentation would involve regular treatment – it is not a permanent solution. It has a projected effect of 6 months to 6 years, depending on how the body responds to the collagen, as well as the type injected.

 

 

Skin Boosters

Restylane Skin boosters are extremely effective at reducing the appearance of acne scarring and revitalising dehydrated skin.
Skin Boosters use Hyaluronic Acid, a substance naturally formed by the skin which increases hydration levels. This improves the skin surface texture and appearance through boosting Collagen and Elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin. Skin boosters invigorates the skin’s resistance and liveliness in a refined and gradual way.

Used for men and women of all skin types, Restylane Skin Boosters are versatile treatments typically used on the lower face area. A treatment popular with smokers, the Skin Boosters are commonly used to correct smokers’ lines. So, if your acne scars are widespread, then perhaps seeking an alternative treatment would be more appropriate.

 

Derma roller

The derma roller (alternatively called the derma stamp) looks a little bit like a small paint roller and is a device which is moved across the skin. The roller is covered with small needles which puncture the skin. It might sound painful, but the discomfort is mild. The needles trigger the healing process, allowing scar tissue to divide and break down, and for the skin to release substances which stimulate growth.

Deeper scars may not completely disappear, but it is possible to smooth them out.

Most types of acne scar (grade 1-3 scars) can be significantly improved with a course of derma roller treatments.

Do not derma roll if your acne is active. Skin needling can spread bacteria and trigger a cystic breakout.

 

Obagi Nu-Derm Sytem

A prescription strength skin system, Obagi Nu-Derm penetrates below the surface of your skin. This renovates skin cell functions at the cellular level and corrects the damage within. The treatment is one of the most effective ways to help diminish dark spots, sun damage and fine lines.

The system exfoliates old skin and restores pigment cells, leaving healthy, new skin that looks and acts younger.

This is a gradual process appropriate for Normal and Dry skin. But, it’s important to stick to a specific dose that’s recommended by your skin care professional.

 

HydraFacial is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses hydra dermabrasion to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate the skin. It uses specialized equipment to cleanse and soften the skin with a unique three-step process:

The HydraFacialist then moves on to the HydraFacial phase. This step includes 3 different treatments:

  1. The first step is the actual facial treatment, which uses a machine that applies gentle suction to the face while a serum is applied. This step works to clean out pores, remove dead skin cells, and stimulate blood flow to the skin.
  2. Next comes extraction—the machine helps to remove blackheads as well as larger pores clogging the skin, improving its texture and appearance.
  3. Finally, an antioxidant mask is applied which adds moisture back into the skin and provides additional anti-aging benefits. This mask also works as a protective layer between the skin and pollution in the outside environment.

Is the HydraFacial System right for me?

If you’ve ever had a facial, even one of the basic variety, you know that it can be a delightful and relaxing experience. But many facials are inconveniently timed (not necessarily done in the comfort of your own home) and can require weeks of advance planning to book a Hydrafacial London appointment.

The HydraFacial System is a non-invasive at-home skin care device that offers many benefits of a professional spa treatment with immediate results.
