Transform your skin with our clinically proven acne treatments. Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the face, neck, chest, and back. Acne is most common during puberty, but can affect people of all ages and skin types.
The exact cause of acne is not fully understood, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of factors, including hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medications. Some factors that can worsen acne include stress, certain types of makeup or skincare products, and a diet high in sugar and processed foods.
Changes in hormones, specifically an increase in male hormones produced by both male and females adrenal glands, cause the skin to become more sensitive to DHT. Consequently, the skin produces more sebum, and dead skin cells stick together, causing blockages in the pilo-sebaceous duct. Bacteria on the skin then break down the blockage and produce by-products that cause inflammation. Although bacteria do not initiate acne, they react to changes in the skin that trigger blemishes. We offer a wide range of products and treatment options to address both the symptoms and root causes of acne including acne scarring.
For those who suffer from comedogenic or inflammatory acne, we recommend our highly effective Salicylic Peel. This treatment is specially designed to introduce high doses of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, sebum-reducing, and cell-turnover-slowing elements into the pilosebaceous duct. This treatment controls the bacterial colonisation but also restrict the inflammatory process by altering the environment and killing Propionibacterium acnes. This treatment is speedy and straightforward as Its ingredients work to prevent new spots from forming, making it an excellent option for those looking for a lasting solution. A course of peels may be required from 2 to 4 weekly intervals to achieve optimal results.
