Acne is a menacing cycle. It brings stress and anxiety, which in turn brings more acne. When normal hygiene and eating habits don’t do the trick, it isn’t time to throw in the towel on having healthier skin. Professional skincare experts, like Gunn Dermatology, make it their mission to treat acne in ways that are gentle and uplifting to our skin. Here are a few of the most impactful approaches.
TheraClearX
The latest in acne treatment technology is here and it goes by TheraClearX. This stress-free process, which combines laser and suction technology, provides notable results as early as the second treatment, with around 6 treatments spaced out every one to two weeks being the recommended timetable for most patients. This treatment can be used on the face, chest, and back.
Acne IPL
Iconic IPL Photofacial, which is also referred to as Intense Pulse Light or Photorejuvenation, is the industry standard when it comes to reducing pigmentation in our skin - including redness caused from acne. IPL can also address rough skin texture. This easy process only takes 5 minutes to complete, with doctors recommending 3 to 5 sessions spaced one month apart for most patients.
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacials are the perfect deep cleansing solution for all your facial concerns. The three-part process begins with the deep clean, followed by a light suction of pores and the application of a nourishing moisturizer, and ends with an infusion of antioxidants and peptides. Hydrafacials provide immediate acne relief such as extracting black heads while setting us up for more clear skin long term. The process only takes 30 minutes and can be done as often as the client wishes. Dr. Gunn recommends making it a part of your monthly skincare check-ins.
Personalized Skincare Regimens
The key here is personalized. Every person’s body is unique, and the treatments required to address what is ailing us often need to be just as diverse. Personalized skincare regimens let specialists find the best combination of prescription and medical grade treatments for each individual acne scenario. Scheduling an appointment with a skincare professional is the best way to begin this process.
Acne can be stressful, but there are plenty of solutions available to keep your skin clear. Working with a professional is the best way to find what works best for you.
