Home remedies for acne do not always help achieve positive, lasting results. And visits to the doctor only briefly relieve the general state of irritation. What to do? Contact a good dermatologist-cosmetologist. Facial treatments for acne offered today in salons are not much inferior in variety and depth of impact to medicinal ones, and sometimes beat the latter in price. In addition, a wide range and high-quality consultations from a cosmetologist will help you timely adjust the course of treatment and select the best options for affecting the skin in order to cope with the problem of acne for a long time or permanently.
Masks
This is a “classic of the genre” that helps not only cleanse the skin and pores, but also nourish the dermis with vitamins, remove toxins, tighten the skin and make it more elastic. Restoring balance, masks with healing clay, antibiotics, and essential oils refresh the skin of the face and body, tone and literally start the regeneration process at the cellular level.
Important! Salon procedures should be carried out only after preliminary consultation with cosmetologists. If your salon doesn't have a dermatologist, go to another one. Masks cause allergies, so using them without the supervision of a specialist can greatly harm the skin!
Acne skin care
After eliminating the main rashes, when the skin is already clean and does not require active treatment, you can begin regular care to prevent further aggravation of acne. Caring for problem skin should be very thoughtful, since any incorrect use of products can trigger acne again.
Developed programs for rehabilitation, care for oily, dry and sensitive problem skin very well complement the basic treatment procedures in our clinic, as well as the use of cosmeceuticals for home care.
Our cosmetologist will select professional cosmetics for home use that have healing, moisturizing properties and do not give the skin an oily sheen or clog the skin. These include cleansers, lotions, emulsions, and serums.
Skin cleaning
These are cosmetic treatments for acne that allow you to get rid of external manifestations of any depth. However, such manipulation does not eliminate the cause of acne, so complex treatment will be required to relieve both external symptoms and eliminate the internal factors of acne. The most popular procedures include:
- Ultrasonic cleaning. Removes dead layers of the dermis, cleanses pores, eliminates microcirculation problems, and helps restore complexion.
- High frequency current. It works like ultrasonic cleaning, and also helps relieve inflammation, smoothes scars, and destroys infection.
The cleansing process is not a treatment, it is only a preparation for subsequent cycles aimed at eliminating the problem itself. It would be wrong to cleanse your face and neglect masks and drug therapy.
What does Ichthyol ointment help with and instructions for use
Advice! Cleaning is carried out only after a diagnosis has been made and the nature of the acne has been clarified. In case of an infectious inflammatory process, cleaning is strictly prohibited. Contact exposure to the dermis provokes further spread of the infection, which will lead to infection of the deeper skin layers.
Acne treatment at the VitaDerm clinic
Complex treatment as the optimal strategy for combating acne.
Acne , a common dermatological disease , develops as a result of impaired activity and inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Painful, aesthetically unattractive acne is a medical and cosmetic problem that occurs in 70–90% of young people under the age of 25. Today there is an expansion of the age spectrum of the disease; older people also need acne treatment
The VitaDerm medical cosmetology clinic provides a comprehensive approach to the treatment of acne , as well as post-acne manifestations. Our specialists use a range of techniques, from prescribing oral medications to hardware procedures for deep skin cleansing . Acne , as well as the aesthetic, social and psychological problems associated with it, raise a flood of questions. A professional cosmetologist, an employee of our clinic, answers the most frequently asked questions.
– Why go to the clinic and undergo a long course of treatment? After all, acne is easy to remove manually, and with age the disease will go away on its own.
Of course, acne can be removed manually. But in the place of the squeezed out eel, after some time another one will definitely appear. This disease does not go away with age; this is a common misconception. On the contrary, if acne is not treated and the normal functioning of skin structures is not restored, the disease will enter the chronic stage. The result will be scars and scars, characteristic symptoms of post-acne - getting rid of them will be much more difficult than getting rid of acne at the initial or middle stage of the disease. The radical difference in skin condition before and after treatment is a modest price for the time and money spent.
– What causes acne?
A chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the skin, acne occurs as a result of increased secretion of sebaceous secretions against the background of blockage of the sebaceous glands. Known varieties of the disease occur due to internal (endogenous acne) and external causes (exogenous acne).
Endogenous acne is most often the result of hormonal changes and disruptions. In particular, during adolescence, a so-called “hormonal surge” occurs, in most cases leading to acne . In adults, acne is usually caused by seborrhea, various infections and chronic diseases.
External exogenous causes of the manifestation of the disease include contact with the skin of lubricants and oils containing tar, which can cause a comedogenic effect. Regular contact with such substances, for example, at work, can cause external manifestations of acne. Cosmetics containing fats can also cause the development of acne Today, a distinction is made between acne that occurs in athletes who use steroids - bodybuilding acne.
– What cosmetic procedures are used to treat acne?
Acne treatment is a complex of medical cosmetic measures, the main task of which is to normalize all body functions and restore normal activity of the dermal structures. Most often, acne affects the face; acne appears on the back and chest. Cosmetic procedures and regular skin care should eliminate the cause of the disease, and not just destroy its external manifestations.
Professional cosmetologists at the VitaDerm clinic use various techniques, depending on the established diagnosis and the individual characteristics of the patient’s skin. The treatment package includes:
- mesotherapy procedures with hyaluronic acid;
- various types of peelings, in particular hydropeeling;
- laser treatment – peeling, skin resurfacing;
- ozone therapy;
- biorevitalization.
To regulate and normalize processes in the body, our specialists prescribe innovative placental preparations from Melsmon, Laennec, and Curacen brands certified in the Russian Federation.
In general, the concept of acne treatment in our clinic is based on comprehensive cleansing of the body, normalization of all natural processes. Only with this approach can a course of acne treatment be effective. Positive results of therapy can only be achieved with a correctly established diagnosis, so treatment of acne begins with a thorough comprehensive examination of the patient’s body.
– Will treatment at the clinic get rid of acne forever?
Acne is an acute chronic disease that is extremely difficult to completely get rid of. Modern medical and cosmetic techniques lead to more or less stable remission, minimizing the manifestations of the disease. The course of acne treatment will have to be repeated after some time. The effect of acne treatment usually lasts for several years. In order to prolong the results of therapy as much as possible, it is necessary to carry out skin care according to the doctor’s recommendations and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Peeling
Such cosmetic manipulations still have both fans and opponents. The former talk about the benefits of cleansing, the latter talk about irreparable injury to the skin, which after peeling absorbs all infections, which will result in even greater troubles. The choice is yours, but only after prior consultation with your doctor.
The most popular peeling options today:
- Keratoregulating glycolic. The procedure reduces sebum production, cleans pores, exfoliates dead areas of the dermis, relieves inflammation, stops infectious processes and restores skin smoothness. But after peeling, a small scattering of pimples will definitely appear - these are the consequences of restoring blood microcirculation. Such pimples appear quickly and go away on their own just as quickly, especially if you use recommended medicinal cosmetics.
- Retinoic peeling helps against blackheads, blackheads, rosacea and fatty spots. The procedure is not cheap, it is recommended for infrequent use and only for patients with serious skin problems. Can be used as a means to whiten scars and spots. Peeling helps a lot with teenage rashes and postpartum skin problems.
Chemical peels
Salicylic peeling - exfoliates skin scales that clog pores, has an antiseptic effect, reduces skin oiliness, and evens out the texture. Can also be used for inflammatory elements of acne. Depending on the sensitivity of the skin, a more or less concentrated solution is selected and a different number of layers are applied.
Jessner's Peeling is a complex composition of salicylic, lactic acid and resorcinol.
This peel is especially indicated for patients with congested spots after or during acne. It brightens the skin very well, making it radiant, healthy and youthful. Jessner peeling penetrates deeper into the skin and therefore requires a highly qualified specialist.
Combined peels with retinol - which contain fruit acids and retinol. They dry out inflammatory elements, perfectly eliminate stagnant spots, even out complexion, and reduce skin oiliness. They have a long-lasting effect.
Biodermabrasion for acne
This procedure should only be taken on the recommendation of a doctor! Carrying out the strongest extracts, cosmetic manipulation is aimed at combating skin pigmentation, the effects of post-acne, enlarged pores, and hyperkeratosis. For the procedure the following are used:
- Bushy blackberry extract. It whitens, tones the dermis, improves blood microcirculation, increases skin firmness and elasticity.
- Capsicum red pepper extract as a strong irritant. The use of such a composition “launches” all skin metabolic processes, forcing the dermis to quickly renew itself.
- Natural abrasives for exfoliating dead skin scales.
The overall result is perfectly smooth skin with increased firmness, firmness and elasticity. It will take some rehabilitation for the dermis to regain its normal, even tone, but the effort is worth it.
Ozone therapy for the face for acne and intravenously: principle of action
Ozone therapy
An effective and harmless method of getting rid of acne. Bioactive components clear sebum from clogged glands, relieve inflammation and destroy fungi and microbes that cannot be eliminated even with antibiotics. According to cosmetologists, ozone therapy is indicated as a means to combat rosacea and blackheads, subcutaneous lipomas.
Due to its strong effect on red blood cells, the therapy “starts” blood circulation, causing the skin to renew itself. The rapid resorption of fat allows you to tighten your shape quite well, as with lipolytic procedures. Thus, ozone therapy is not only the elimination of acne, but also a general tonic for the skin of the face and body.
Mesotherapy
The main advantage of the procedure is the direct delivery of beneficial components under the skin, exactly where it is needed. By eliminating unwanted manifestations, mesotherapy eliminates acne and rashes without affecting healthy areas of the skin. It turns out that the dermis does not suffer from unnecessary exposure where it is not required and receives full treatment where it is necessary. Experts say that mesotherapy is effective not only for rashes, lipomas, rosacea, blackheads, but also helps smooth out scars, remove scars, lighten spots, spider veins, etc.
Mesotherapy is a targeted delivery of vitamin complexes to the desired depth of the skin. Perhaps this salon treatment for acne is the most therapeutic, but it should be remembered that the effect is achieved after accurately determining the nature of the rash. But for this you will still have to visit a dermatologist.
Procedures in the salon can solve both a complex of problems and be targeted locally. Simply acting on a large area of skin is harmful and ineffective; the healthy area suffers, while the patient receives much less treatment. At the same time, healthy microflora is killed, which can lead to the appearance of acne where there has never been one. Regardless of the high cost of the procedure, the skills of cosmetologists and knowledge of your own body, you need to choose cosmetic and cosmetological manipulations with a clear understanding of the final result. It may not be at all what you expected.
Acne phototherapy with laser LumenisM22 (Israel-USA)
During the acne phototherapy procedure, a filter in the blue spectrum (420 nm) is used. Blue light has a very pronounced bactericidal effect, i.e. destroys the main causative agent of acne - proprionobacteria. In addition, phototherapy can significantly reduce inflammation. As a result, the patient notes a decrease in the number of new rashes, drying and rapid healing of deep inflammatory and superficial pustular elements of the rash.
Phototherapy goes well with any procedures performed in the clinic.
The procedure is absolutely painless. The patient feels only a slight tingling sensation. Immediately after phototherapy you can go outside and no recovery period is required. Such sessions must be carried out once a week.
