TREAT, PROTECT, PREVENT
The clarifying acne facial is an intensive treatment designed to boost acne prone or congested skin and help to control future breakouts. This facial combines deep cleansing and triple acid peel with a superficial Dermapen treatment. A Dermapen Uber peel specially formulated for application following microneedling is then applied to the treated skin.
Acne is an individual issue, no two skins and circumstances are alike. As with all of the advanced facials, this facial is customisable to your particular issues.
HOW DOES THIS ACNE FACIAL WORK?
Deep cleansing and clarifying
Improving oxygen supply to the skin, which targets acne bacteria
Introducing active ingredients to the deeper levels of the skin
Improving skin renewal and cellular turnover
Helping to balance oil production, reducing excess sebum
Improving skin congestion
Improving skin texture
acne. (healing). This advanced treatment works by targeting the main areas of trouble for acne prone skin:
Reduces oil production (to help prevent blackheads and whiteheads developing)
Reduces skin thickening– normalises skin cell production and renewal, reducing the build-up of dead skin cells/protein that lead to comodones and congestion
Reduces acne bacteria which helps prevent inflammation
Calms inflammation which reduces acne scarring risk
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Consultation to understand your particular skin health and circumstances, history, and product history. Investigate factors which may contribute to your skin health, including diet, products, treatments.
Deep cleansing of the skin, including light lymphatic massage
Extraction where appropriate.
Skin-sparing superficial chemical peel in conjunction with Dermapen microneedling of the epidermis – this is a specifically targeted light microneedling and does not require local anaesthetic. Dermapen formulated Uber peel applied to the treated skin.
Hydrating mask and protective products applied.
WHO IS THIS TREATMENT FOR?
This advanced acne facial is not for people already using prescription medication for their acne, or for those whose situation I believe requires the use of prescription products (for example antibiotics, prescription strength retinoids, Adapaline, or Roaccutane). We will discuss this fully during your consultation.
If you have acne scarring, we will modify your treatment plan to include deep Dermapen microneedling specifically to target scarring.
WHAT IS THE DOWN TIME?
Your skin will be reddened on leaving, which will subside over the following hours. It will look mildly sunburned.
Down time will depend on your skin and the combination of products and technologies used during your treatment. Often for the first treatments, you can expect that your skin will be initially worse, even with mildly increased breakouts before it turns around.
This process is a long game, I will work with you, giving it time and the right support.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Consultation is free,
£180 per treatment.
