Acne Treatment

Acne - A Well-known Skin Problem

Acne is definitely a four-letter word for people who suffer with it. Most acne is an inherited disorder of the pores – pores that want to sludge up with dead skin cells much like a clogged drain in your sink.

Normal pores shed about one layer of dead skin cells per day inside the pore. The acne-prone skin has pores that sheds up to five layers of dead skin cells per day and the body just can’t keep up. This forms congestion under the skin which creates non-inflamed acne lesions. These lesions form blackheads and/or whiteheads; if bacteria are present. Acne lesions just love to feed on the dead skin cells and oil which in turn creates inflamed pimples, pustules and/or cysts - also called cystic acne.

Although most people think of acne as a condition that only affects the face, this is not the case. Acne is a condition that commonly can be present on the neck, shoulders, back, chest, and arms as well.

You are not alone!

More than 60 million Americans suffer from some form of acne breakouts. Acne affects more than 80% of all teenagers at some time in their lives, and clogged pores comprise more than 25% of all visits to the dermatologist. Acne now has hit epidemic proportions in adults, especially women. What used to be just a teenage problem is now a real challenge in people’s lives. Stephanie and the team at Brilliant Bodywork are constantly searching for quicker, faster and more effective ways to treat acne in all its forms and for people of all ages.

Setting up your personal regimen

The most important aspect of Transformational Acne Care is starting with the right products, and learning how to use them.

We test your skin to make sure you are getting the most effective products for your specific acne type, skin type, and skin tolerance. It won’t be enough just to have the right products – it’s all about having the right routine and using products that compliment your acne prone skin regimen.

We know that you are used to getting a prescription or products from the store, and then left trying to figure it out all on your own. Your aesthetician will help you tackle your acne head on, determining what products are needed for your specific regimen and how a balanced approach to application that is not overly harsh will produce the best long term results. In-office treatments speed the process, and with our support, you will find your acne clears up within a few months.

You will learn how to use products slowly at first, so that your skin stays receptive without causing irritation or dehydration. But skin can become accustomed to products and then become less effective over time – that is why we will adjust your regimen little by little, to get rid of your acne.

Your aesthetician will discuss the causes of acne and analyze your skin at the beginning of every appointment to assess which treatment would serve you best. Treatments are performed every two weeks until your skin clears.
