Clearing Acne with My Skin Spa

Acne is characterised by pimples and sometimes blackheads found commonly on the face, neck, chest back and arms. It usually occurs when skin pores fill with dead skin and oil, they become blocked and bacteria breed. Factors which lead to acne are: Hormonal changes, genetics, environmental factors, stress, certain cosmetics and diet.

My Skin Spa acne treatment protocols combine a professional program as well as homecare program which is modified to treat the individual. Ultimately the treatment will prevent excess sebum, pore clogging and bacteria build up, which leads to inflammation and breakouts.

What you need to know

Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, affects 85-100% of people at some point in their lives and usually begins at puberty. Acne does not end at puberty though, as it can sometimes persist into the 30’s and beyond. In fact, 5% of people over the age of 45 still have acne. My Skin Spa's acne treatments involve a series of BHA peels, suitable for teenagers as young as 12 year old. This treatment is not painful and has no downtime, most patients see a difference in their skin within the first few days after the treatment.
