Acne ranks among the most prevalent skin conditions, affecting a large majority of teenagers and potentially impacting adults as well. The development of acne occurs when the skin's glands produce an excessive amount of oil, which mixes with skin cells and obstructs the pores. Within these clogged pores, regular bacteria thrive, leading to inflammation and the characteristic redness associated with acne. Additionally, lifestyle elements like diet and stress, along with hormonal changes, can also contribute to the occurrence of acne.

IPL Acne Treatment (Herne Bay and Wellington only)

This non-invasive and non-ablative procedure is used to address various skin concerns, including acne. It utilises a broad spectrum of light wavelengths to target and treat acne breakouts without damaging the surrounding tissues. The light is absorbed by the target (in this case, acne-causing bacteria and overactive sebaceous glands) and converted into heat. This heat helps to destroy the bacteria and reduce the oil production in the sebaceous glands, which are both contributing factors to acne formation.

Microneedling

This minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aims to rejuvenate the skin and improve its texture, tone, and overall appearance. It involves the use of a medical-grade microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. Designed to brighten your complexion, reduce the appearance of dark spots, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and refine the look of pores. Includes a professional-grade peel, Microneedling and dermal layering and 2x Pro Restore take home products.
