Acne Treatment
Non invasive and drug free acne treatment using radio frequency and LED light therapy.
For most young people, acne can be a bit of hassle but for others it can be devastating.
Acne is the most common of skin diseases; affecting 85 per cent of Australians aged from 15 years to 24 years old. Very few people manage to escape their teenage and young adult years without some pimples and blackheads.
Acne usually clears spontaneously for most people by their mid 20s. However, for some people acne is a far more serious problem with the possibility of permanent physical, mental and emotional effects. It is important to remember that all types of acne can be well controlled by safe and effective treatment.
What causes acne?
Acne happens when the oil glands (pores) in your skin become blocked. Hormones make your oil glands produce more oil (sebum) and if the pores are blocked, a build-up occurs and you’ve got acne.
Your face, neck, chest, shoulders and upper back are the areas mainly affected by acne because they have the highest percentage of oil glands.
Acne usually starts at puberty when increased levels of hormones (known as androgens) cause an increase in the size and oil production of glands. If you have a family history of acne, it may also increase your chances of developing acne.
Treating mild acne.
If the appearance of mild acne is concerning you, you need to take some necessary and basic important steps:
- Speak to an Aesthetica dermal clinitian about our clinical grade acne skin care products, designed for your particular skin type.
- Follow a skin care regrime created by your Aesthetica dermal clinitian to help clear existing pimples and prevent new ones from forming.
- Keep cosmetic use to a minimum. Avoid oil-based cosmetics, as they can clog your pores. We recommend using high quality mineral based cosmetics.
RF & LED acne treatment.
Accent radio frequency using UniPolar technology is the key component in Aesthetica's acne treatment programme. We use the radio frequency technology which heat your subcutaneous dermal tissue, breaking the sebum cycle that causes active acne to form.
RF acne treatment also contracts and restructures collagen, resulting in skin tightening and improved skin quality. You’ll see the improvement after a course of treatments and feel how your skin becomes smoother, more elastic and blemish free. There is no down time and no pain! It is a walk-in/walk-out procedure which takes approx 20 to 30 minutes.
Rejuvenating LED delivers a totally natural method of Blue LED light skin treatment which helps break the bacteria cycle in active acne. Blue LED light complements your skin’s own natural processes to help rejuvenate your skin’s appearance, by diminishing the recurrence of acne.
Our acne treatment package is based on a course of 6 fortnightly treatments, it has been designed by our medical team in conjunction with an international group of health and medical professionals - acne experts, who understand everything about acne.
What if I have acne scarring?
Aesthetica can also provide treatments for older acne scarring and skin damage using Accent Pixel RF. Pixel RF is sometimes also known as fractional resurfacing a treatment for improving skin texture and blending-in skin imperfections such as acne scarring. Small area treatments are also possible, this means even the smallest acne scar can be repaired.
