    The Treatments to Get Rid of Acne & Blackheads


    If you suffer from acne, your skin can have a tendency to break out more in the summer. Combining the increased temperatures, outdoor activities and sweat/oil accumulation – the body is more likely to produce more breakouts and blackheads as a result of the conglomeration of clogged dead skin cells and sebum developing in the pores. In many cases this can lead to the increase of blackheads that the body produces – the trapped bacteria, dead skin and sebum, produces a bump within the hair follicle that is exposed to the air, revealing a blackhead on the surface.

    For those that suffer with acne specifically, blackheads, as a type of acne vulgaris (hormonal acne) can be extremely uncomfortable, sore and inflamed and with the overproduction of the oil gland, it can become irritated and refuse to shed from the skin naturally. In these cases we recommend that seeking a medical expert and undergoing an in-clinic treatment works best at resolving the skin concern as poor treatments at home can in fact force the blackhead further into the epidermis, causing infection.

    Chemical Peels

    Whilst all peels are determined during your consultation, Chemical Peels are split between mild and superficial peels (requiring no down time) and moderately intense peels (requiring 7-10 days down time).

    Superficial Peels typically use Glycolic Acid, Retinoic, Lactic, Mandelic, Pyruvic, TCA or Salicylic Acid to temporarily puncture and replenish the epidermis. In doing so it helps to restructure and regenerate the skin’s dermal layers helping to improve scarring, pigmentation, oil and impurities build up.

    More moderate peels will intensify the quantity and efficacy of ingredients such as TCA to remove the damaged dermal layer, making room for cell regeneration to take place. Both types of chemical peels are extremely popular at kickstarting your skin’s natural processes and for those suffering with acne and blackheads, will help to improve and neutralize the condition.
