Acne Treatment
I have a selection of tried and tested products and supplements which target acne successful. Correct home care is an essential part of achieving the results. It may be necessary to include a tried and tested supplement which targets acne, with excellent results.
What causes acne?
Acne is multifaceted and the cause can be a single reason or a combination of the following most common reasons:
- Hormonal
- Food Intolerances
- Vitamin deficiencies
- Essential Fatty Acid deficiency
- Stress related
- Keratinisation (surface dead cells)
- Incorrect skin care
- Plus many more less common reasons…
LED light therapy
The LED light is a low level light which does not harm the eyes. The light absorbed by the skin energises skin cells and can be clearly seen in treatments for:
- Skin rejuvenation, toning, tightening and texturing
- Acne
- Post care healing
- Collagen stimulation and wrinkle reduction
I often use the LED light at the end of a facial to help product penetrate, calm the skin or to kick start collagen production which tightens acne scars.
IPL acne treatment
A normal hair and sebaceous gland can become blocked. Bacteria called P. Acnes live on the sebum and produce fatty acids. An infection sets in and causes inflammation – i.e. a spot!
Acne treatments with the Ellipse Intense Pulse Light is very effective especially for stubborn or long term acne. The light from the flash-lamp heats up the haemoglobin in the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the sebaceous glands. This causes a minor injury to the sebaceous glands which slows down production of sebum. The light eradicates bacteria immediately.
Three or four treatments are necessary 3 weeks apart.
