SKIN CONCERN:

Acne

Acne is caused by the follicles on the skin becoming blocked. The sebaceous glands are responsible for producing oil to protect the skin’s barrier. If these are blocked and get inflamed this is where acne occurs. Blockages in the glands can be caused by many external and internal reasons; such as hormonal imbalance, poor diet, using the wrong products for you that cause stress on the skin and general life stress.

If this sounds like you please see our below treatment plans and book in for a thorough consultation.

Step by Step

Below is a step by step example plan of the treatments and products we might use to treat acne-prone skin. Again, we make sure each plan is tailored to your needs.

** Please take note if you have gone on a course of Doxycycline from your DR this will make you sensitive to light and we may not be able to perform some of the treatments in the below plans.

Click the treatment titles to find out more.

Option 01

Never been touched before acne – this means you have not tried skin peels or anything harsh on your skin at home to treat the problem. Skin is constantly oily and not sensitised.

Step 01/

External at-home care
The most important part is what you are using on your skin daily.

Morning & night:
Rosactive Pure Gel Cleanser
Rosactive Pure Toner/Mist
Biohyal Hyaluronic Serum
Rosactive Pure Gel Moisturiser

Morning:
Coola Rosiliance SPF 30 BB cream or Esmi Mineral makeup (depending on coverage needed) – AM

Rosactive Pure Concentrate – as a spot treatment only

Step 02/

Internal at-home care
Our internal health can also impact our skin’s appearance.

Bestow Beauty Plus Oil – 1TSP a day with food
Bestow Beauty From Beneath Capsules – 1 per day but double up if having a breakout
Bestow 7 Day Gut Detox – 2 weeks of this if possible

Step 03/

In-Clinic Treatments

A Pure Facial to detox the skin and remove any blackheads and congestion.

Step 04/

In-Clinic Treatments

A course of 8 or 12 LED sessions under all 3 lights, blue light for antibacterial, red light for anti-inflammatory, and near-infrared for fibroblast stimulation for the collagen and elastin cells. These are recommended 2-3x a week if possible. 3x a week if the skin is painful to the touch.

If the acne is cystic and quite painful under the skin we will also look into spot treating with IPL to help stop the sebaceous gland secreting oil.

After these treatments and with using regular home care we will then re-access the skin.

Option 02

You have tried acne products or other treatments on your skin that might not have been quite right for your skin condition. The skin has acne but is also sensitised and the barrier is under stress. The skin may look red and irritated and is sore to the touch.
