ACNE 101: CAUSES, PREVENTION AND TREATMENTS

CAUSES:  Oil releases from the pores to protect the skin and keep it moist. Acne begins when oil mixes with dead cells and clogs the skin's pores. Bacteria can grow in this mixture.  If this mixture leaks into nearby tissues, it causes swelling, redness, and pus. A common name for these raised bumps is pimples.

PREVENTION: Use a wash that blends cleansing agents with alphahydroxy and fruit acid extracts to help control excessively oily skin and dislodge cell buildup that can clog pores. Come into the studio to find the right combination of products that will address your skin's needs.

TREATMENTS: Microdermabration is a powerful treatment able to target acne in our clients. The treatment exfoliates dead skin cells and extracts impurities and blackheads with a vacuum-based skin abrasion tip while stimulating the blood and lymphatic flow.  Know a teen with a school dance coming up?
