Acne
Achieve clearer skin...
Acne is an inflammatory condition in our skin that occurs when the skin cells over-produce oil (Sebum), congestion of the dead skin cells, and bacteria. It can cause whiteheads and blackheads, and common appearance can come as red bumps, such as those in pimples. Acne affects most people at some point in their lives, and for some, the condition is long-term.
In treating acne, cleanliness should be the top priority. As our face skin becomes inflamed due to oil, bacteria, or dead skin cells, maintaining a clean face is incredibly important. Aside from skincare, there are also many procedures we can undergo to help in improving acne condition such as laser skin resurfacing.
Treatment Options
Skincare
Skincare is a combination of practices that cleanses and support the skin, to enhance its appearance and condition. It can include a regimen that removes dirt, excess oil, cleaning the face, rejuvenation, and even protection via sunscreen and recommendations on makeup use. While steps vary, the typical order is to clean, tone, moisturize, occasionally exfoliate, and apply sunscreen. Skincare is important as it helps the skin be healthy and stay in good condition. Naturally, dirt will build up in our face, and we are shedding skin cells throughout the day, so it's important to have a regimen that can effectively clean this to prevent inflammations. An effective routine can help slow down signs of aging, prevent acne, treat wrinkles, and help keep the skin looking its best. Once it is established, it is easier to maintain.

Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a procedure where we put a chemical solution to the face to remove the top layers to reveal the young healthy skin underneath. These procedures typically use naturally occurring acids to exfoliate, brighten and smooth the skin. They are used to reduce or improve fine lines and wrinkles, acne, scars, pigmentation, and other skin imperfections. Depending on the damage, the strength of peels can vary from mild to intense to accommodate the condition of the skin.

Laser skin resurfacing is the gold standard therapy for skin smoothing and tightening. This non ablative fractional technology uses microbeams of energy to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis into the dermis. This triggers the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthy collagen. Best for: facial anti-ageing and resurfacing
What is Laser resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing has long been established as a safe and effective treatment for acne scars, traumatic scars, pigmentation, sun damage, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin texture and stretch-marks. The principle of skin resurfacing is to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process to replace damaged skin with fresh, healthy, new skin.
