Acne treatment
Acne can present itself as mild or severe and usually starts in teenage years.
Service Description
Oily secretions from the skin’s sebaceous glands plug the tiny openings for hair follicles. If these openings are large the blockages form blackheads (small flat spots with a dark appearance). If the openings are small the clogs take the form of whiteheads) small, white bumps filled with pus). Both types of clogged pores can easily develop into pimples, pustules or deeper lumps or nodules which can be painful.
Fractora
Fractora offers fractional skin resurfacing using a micro-needling technique which also delivers radiofrequency energy into various depths of the skin, using tiny pin electrodes. This method creates ‘micro-lesion’ areas of ablation, coagulation, and heating which in-turn causes contraction of the skin and subsequent healing. As the skin heals, increased amounts of collagen and elastin are produced, which results in a smoother complexion and reduction in skin irregularities and scarring as well as pimples, spots and pustules.
Laser Treatments
laser treatments for acne can reduce redness, kill germs and bacteria on the skin and calm irritation. Laser treatments emit a specifically targeted wavelength of light to penetrate the skin and to regenerate collagen and elastin within the dermis, thus producing a healing response of the skin, smoothing the skin’s surface and reducing acne breakouts.
FAQs
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It often results in the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed lesions.
Common treatments for acne include topical medications (such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids), oral medications (such as antibiotics and isotretinoin), hormonal therapy (such as birth control pills), and procedures (such as chemical peels, laser therapy, and microdermabrasion).
Topical medications for acne work by targeting different aspects of the acne process. For example, benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria, salicylic acid unclogs pores, and retinoids promote cell turnover and prevent the formation of new comedones (clogged pores).
The time it takes to see results from acne treatment can vary depending on the severity of the acne and the type of treatment used. In general, topical treatments may take several weeks to months to show significant improvement, while oral medications and procedures may yield quicker results. Consistency and patience are key when treating acne.
