Acne skin is characterized by seborrhea, increased keratinization of the epidermis, and the appearance of closed and open blackheads. In addition, it often happens that closed blackheads transform into papules and then into inflammatory pustules. In the more severe forms of acne, in addition to the lesions listed, there are infiltrates and cysts that heal with deep scars. Acne skin may be sensitive and / or dry skin, mainly due to many therapies that have worked with varying degrees of success. Home care routine involves gentle but thorough daily cleansing of the skin of makeup and impurities, the use of moisturizing, soothing products with a wide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. It is also necessary to strictly clean the bed, telephone, hands and rarely touching the face. In addition, you should introduce cabinet treatments with a strong anti-acne treatment.
To cleanse, oxygenate and nourish acne skin, it is worth doing a Geneo Balance cabinet treatment.
In the first stage, activated carbon and mandelic acid contained in the abrasive capsule reduce skin shine and have antibacterial properties. The second phase of the procedure – application of balancing serum. The composition includes: salicylic acid (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory), oligopeptide complex (having a nutritional effect), argan and jojoba oils (oiling and nutritional), a complex of vanilla and horsetail extracts (with antioxidant activity) and azeloglycine (brightening discoloration) . Contraindication to the Geneo Balance treatment are active inflammatory changes in the treatment area.
In the case of acne-prone skin, the first step to a healthy complexion is to calm active inflammatory lesions, e.g. using estGen surgery. The estGen treatment modulates inflammation and regenerates the skin, and through growth factors stimulates it to heal and epithelize faster. After makeup removal, the skin is toned with an active disinfectant, anti-inflammatory and softening fluid. The next step is the application of active gel (based on lactoferrin and sodium hyaluronate), which moisturizes, soothes and strengthens the skin’s immune system.
The next stages of the procedure are: introducing the gel deep into the skin using sonophoresis, washing and massaging the appropriate cream at the end of the procedure. Before each estGen treatment, you can do a peeling adjusted to the current condition of your acne skin to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, after the disappearance of inflammation, it is worth modifying the therapy and performing micro-puncturing of the skin in one procedure. In the case of therapy with estGen products, home care routine is important, strengthening the effect of office treatment. First of all, you should avoid exposure to the sun’s rays for 3 weeks after the procedure, and until then you must use photoprotection. In addition, care should be taken about hygiene, and within 72 hours of treatment, wash the skin only with boiled water and moisturize only with EstGen products
Another way to reduce inflammation is to use chemical peels based on the effects of acids, including almond and azelaic acid.
Mandelic acid is a substance with an exfoliating, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory effect, with proven inhibitory effect on the proliferation of bacteria responsible for acne. The undoubted advantage of mandelic acid is the fact that it can be used in the care of sensitive skin. On the other hand, azelaic acid works primarily to inhibit the formation of melanin in the skin, so it is recommended to use its action in the treatment of acne skin with post-inflammatory and sun discoloration. Azelaic acid reduces bacterial growth and reduces redness, so it can be used on sensitive, vascular skin. The care routine after chemical peeling is to use strong SPF 50 photoprotection for at least a month after the procedure. Acne skin requires high sun protection.
It is not uncommon for scars and post-inflammatory discolorations to become noticeable after calming active acne lesions. Then in the office care should focus on stimulating the dermis for increased production of collagen and elastin. In addition, it would be worthwhile to include in one treatment procedure substances that lighten the pigmentation caused by acne. This office procedure includes Retix.C. It contains 4% retinol, 8% vitamin C and 30% antioxidants. Retinol is a strong exfoliating, anti-aging substance that stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin.
In turn, vitamin C brightens and is an antioxidant.
The additional amount of antioxidants will inhibit free radicals, which is especially important for mature skin. Retix.C can be used in anti-wrinkle, rejuvenating and brightening therapy. It is a procedure that is better to do in spring or autumn. The necessary care routine is strong SPF 50 photoprotection, resignation from makeup until the peeling of the callous epidermis and refraining from peeling the cuticles that stick out after exfoliation. Exfoliation is visible, while the effects of treatment definitely compensate for any inconvenience. The skin after convalescence is very soft, bright, with even skin tone, and papules and blackheads disappear quickly. The treatment set consists of an ampoule with vitamin C and antioxidants and sachets with retinol, and its amount is sufficient for the face, neck and cleavage area.
Sometimes the client needs an acne-prone skin treatment that will work effectively but will not cause severe exfoliation or irritation. PQAGE belongs to this group of treatments. It is a chemical peeling with 34% TCA (trichloroacetic acid), 10% kojic acid, 5% urea peroxide and coenzyme Q10. TCA acid reduces discoloration and scars, stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen, reduces fine lines. In turn, kojic acid together with urea peroxide strongly brightens discoloration. Coenzyme Q10 contained in the composition has antioxidant properties. The PQAGE treatment can be extended in one treatment procedure
for micro-puncturing to stimulate the skin even more for intensive revitalization.
