Do you get spots? Most of us do from time to time. Acne is such a common skin condition, yet it can be quite challenging to treat. This is because there are many possible reasons why someone gets acne. Lifestyle factors, hormones, stress, incorrect skincare, and family history are just some of the factors involved with acne.
If you or someone you know are struggling with breakout, EA Aesthetics Cairns can help! We have a range of treatments that target the inflammation, excess oil and spots that come with acne.
It is so important that people with acne are using the right skincare. Using nothing at all won’t improve acne but using the wrong products will often make it worse. We retail a range of cosmeceuticals that work to reduce acne. We often recommend a combination of Mesoestetic products, Elizabeth Ann Aesthetics cosmeceuticals and Allmedic products. These sophisticated brands contain the right types of active ingredients that are clinically shown to improve acne. These ingredients include salicylic acid, chlorhexidine, vitamin A and vitamin B. We have degreasing foam cleansers, scrub-free exfoliators, and oil-free moisturisers. We can also order in specialised prescription products from a compounding pharmacy if needed. Accompanying these topical creams, we recommend internal supplements from Advanced Nutritional Programme. The Skin VitA+, Skin Antioxidant and Clear Skin Biome are central to managing acne breakouts.
As well as the right products, we offer several treatments to combat spots.
Salicylic acid peels- This BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) peel has been used to treat acne for decades. It work by reducing inflammation, regulating and reducing oil flow, unclogging pores and renewing the skin.
Microdermabrasion- An excellent exfoliating option for acne. By removing excess dead skin cells, your pores become unclogged and your skin smoother. We often combine LED and extractions with our micro for quicker results.
LED– We always incorporate the bactericidal and healing effects of blue and red LED light with our acne treatments.
Laser- Our Candela glass erbium lasers can be used to treat varying grades of acne. They can assist in reducing inflammation, unclogging the skin and improve scarring.
IPL- Our Candela Nordlys IPL is especially good for red, inflamed acne lesions. It works by targeting the blood vessels that supply the oil glands, to reduce oil flow. It’s also great for fading the red of acne lesions.
PDT- Photodynamic therapy uses a light-activated cream to diminish acne lesions and the bacteria associated with acne.
Persistent acne is very frustrating, and we understand that people just want to do something that works.
