Acne BHA Peel
What is a BHA Chemical Peel?
A BHA (beta hydroxy acid) chemical peel, commonly formulated with salicylic acid, is an effective treatment for acne-prone skin. It works by exfoliating the skin’s surface while penetrating deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and clear out debris. This helps reduce the occurrence of breakouts, blackheads, and clogged pores, while also improving overall skin texture and tone. A BHA peel is ideal for those with oily or combination skin, as it targets acne-causing factors without being overly harsh. Chemical Peels are an excellent treatment for active acne and blemishes.
How it works
BHA, being oil-soluble, penetrates deep into the pores, where it exfoliates and removes built-up sebum and dead skin cells. This action helps reduce inflammation and prevents future acne breakouts. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of salicylic acid aid in soothing irritated skin and accelerating the healing process of active acne, leaving the skin clearer and more refined.
Microneedling
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-ablative procedure designed to target the deeper layers of skin without harming the surface. Using tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries beneath the skin, the treatment stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, improving skin texture and elasticity.
This treatment is commonly used to address acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and burn scars.
How Microneedling Works
Before starting, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied for comfort. A hand-held roller or an automated microneedling device with fine needles is then used to gently glide across the skin in a rolling or circular motion. After the session, a lightweight, oil-free serum is applied to soothe the skin. Post-treatment, the skin may appear pink, resembling a mild sunburn, for one to two days. Sessions can be repeated as needed, typically with six to eight weeks between treatments.
RF Microneedling
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF Microneedling, such as Morpheus8, is a cutting-edge treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to effectively address acne, active breakouts, acne scarring, and uneven skin texture. The device uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy to deeper layers. This stimulates collagen production and accelerates skin healing, reducing active acne, minimizing scars, and refining overall skin texture. It’s especially beneficial for those looking to improve both current acne issues and lingering post-acne scarring.
How it works
During an RF microneedling session, the needles penetrate the skin to create controlled micro-injuries, while RF energy is delivered to target the deeper layers of the skin. This dual action helps reduce active acne by clearing out oil and debris from pores, while the heat from RF energy stimulates collagen production to heal and smooth acne scars. The combination of microneedling and RF energy also improves overall skin texture by encouraging cell turnover and tissue remodeling, leading to clearer, more even-toned skin over time.
