Acne Care

Acne:

Acne is defined as a “disorder of the skin caused by inflammation of the skin glands and hair follicles..” (merriam-webster.com). 

Acne is very common among pre-teens, teens, young adults and has been on the rise with mature adult skin. It affects millions of Americans. Acne can be genetic (predisposed at birth), but can also be acquired through internal and external factors such as: hormonal changes experienced with pregnancy, medications, using improper skin care products for your skin type and/or skin condition(s) and more. 

Experiencing acne on your skin can be very frustrating, confusing and emotionally taxing. We understand this emotional rollercoaster as acne is our number one focus.

The most important piece of information we can share with you if you are suffering from either mild, moderate or severe acne is to follow these 4 steps:

1. Seek out a licensed skincare therapist with knowledge and experience in treating  acne.

2. Schedule an appointment for a skincare consultation (this will help you have a thorough understanding of what’s happening with your skin, how to treat your skin and learn how to start getting your acne under control).

3. Start on a professional acne home care regimen prescribed by your skincare therapist.

4. Schedule and start receiving professional acne facial treatments with your skincare therapist.

Keep in mind that 80% of your skin’s outcome is based on your commitment to treating your skin at home with products designed for your specific skin type and condition(s) as well as 20% of your skin’s outcome is based on your commitment to receiving professional acne treatments given by your skincare therapist.
