Acne treatment

ACNE TREATMENT

Acne is a skin condition that affects many people. It is a chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles that can lead to pimples, blackheads and other blemishes on the skin. There are various treatment options that can help to reduce acne, including IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), Celluma LED therapy & acids, i.e. peeling treatments.

UNDERSTANDING ACNE

Acne can be a sensitive issue for many people. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples and blackheads on the face, neck, chest and back. Whilst acne is most common in teenagers during puberty, it can affect people of all ages. The causes of acne are complex and multifactorial. Although it is not a life-threatening condition, it can cause psychological distress and scarring, which is why we offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where individuals can feel comfortable discussing their concerns.

Our practice team specialise in the treatment of acne and are therefore a point of contact for clients with moderate to severe acne.

Over the years, various treatment options have been developed to treat acne, with varying degrees of success. Three of our favourite methods are IPL (Intense Pulse Light), Celluma LED therapy and chemical peels.

THE ROLE OF PEELS IN ACNE TREATMENT

Chemical peels are a type of non-invasive treatment for acne that uses specific acids to remove the outer layer of skin. They work by sloughing off dead skin cells and clearing clogged pores, which can help reduce the appearance of acne and prevent future breakouts. This process unclogs pores, removes blemishes and promotes the growth of new, healthier skin. Chemical peels in Dortmund come in different strengths depending on the ingredients used and the depth of the peel. They work by sloughing off dead skin cells and clearing clogged pores, which can help reduce the appearance of acne and prevent future breakouts. There are different types of chemical peels, including glycolic acid, salicylic acid and lactic acid peels.

Each type has its own benefits and precautions, depending on the skin type and severity of the acne. Glycolic acid peels are particularly effective in treating mild to moderate acne, while salicylic acid peels are more suitable for oily or combination skin types. Lactic acid peels are gentler than other types and may be more suitable for sensitive skin.

IPL therapy and Celluma LED therapy in Dortmund, Düsseldorf and Essen use light energy to reduce and prevent acne breakouts, while chemical peels are more effective.

THE FORMS OF THERAPY

Both forms of light therapy and our peels have their advantages and disadvantages. IPL treatments can be effective in treating severe acne and can also improve other skin problems such as pigmentation spots or scars. Celluma light therapy in our practices in Essen, Düsseldorf and Dortmund, on the other hand, is a gentle and painless treatment method that can be used on all skin types.

However, it is important to note that treatment results can vary from person to person and may depend on various factors such as the severity of the acne, skin type and the individual's skin reactivity to the treatment. Some people may also have an allergic reaction to certain components of the treatment, so it is important to have a personalised, informative consultation beforehand. We will provide you with detailed information about the entire course of your acne treatment, including risks, side effects, costs and treatment duration, and work with you to determine individual costs and possible solutions. We will also be happy to give you aftercare tips, with possible effective methods that will also help your body to speed up your treatment.
