Acne and Acne Scar Therapy
Acne and Acne Scar Therapy — Acne scarring of the face is best treated with laser therapy that removes the red and brown color from the scars, smoothes the texture of the skin in addition to generating collagen to “fill-in” the scars. We also provide the Acne Blue Light Therapy to kill the acne bacteria and reduce sebaceous oil production — thus ensuring your breakouts remain under control. Patients achieve significant improvement using this revolutionary technology series.
How does blue light technology work? Blue light therapy effectively helps alleviate this common skin condition affecting 50 million Americans and 94 percent of all females. Blue light kills the acne-causing bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P acnes, which can cause inflammation. P acnes is sensitive to blue light. Using the blue light, eliminates the bacteria found in the oil glands in the skin. The added presence of infrared light (heat) in the home device causes the oil glands to shrink in size. The result is less oil in the skin and less bacteria, leading to the resolution of acne in the treated areas.
Why is it effective? Eliminating the bacteria from the skin with help from blue light decreases the inflammation associated with red pimples (papules) seen in acne. After a number of treatments, the blemishes disappear and skin regains its normal appearance.
CARBOXY THERAPY
Carboxy Therapy is a procedure that uses carbon dioxide and claims to get rid of stretch marks, cellulite and scars, as well as plumping the skin. Micro injections of carbon dioxide are injected just beneath the surface of the skin. This is supposed to stimulate circulation and collagen production, which improves the appearance of skin. Ageing causes capillaries to become dormant, which reduces blood circulation. This deprives cells of oxygen which stops the cells’ ability to regenerate. Injecting carbon dioxide makes your body think there is an oxygen deficit and it responds by increasing the blood flow. This leads to a surge of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area, which results in cell restoration.
How Does Carbonxy Therapy work?
Carbon dioxide, the invisible, odourless gas that is part of the air we breathe, is injected just under the surface of the skin using a fine needle. According to many studies, it diffuses into the surrounding tissues and causes blood vessels to dilate. Wider vessels mean a stronger blood supply, which brings a rush of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area.
Evidence shows the carbon dioxide kills fat cells by causing them to distend, the extra oxygen eliminates fluid build-up between cells, and the skin is stimulated to produce more collagen. The result, say practitioners, is fewer fat cells and firmer, younger skin. Medical studies have long shown carbon dioxide stimulates circulation. It has been used in France since the Thirties to treat patients suffering from poor circulation, blocked arteries and heart problems. More recently, research by the University of Siena in Italy showed Carboxy therapy is effective at smoothing skin and reducing fat.
CHEMICAL PEEL
(Light chemical peels and deep chemical peels)
As we age, dead skin cells do not slough off as easily as when we are younger, causing the skin to appear dull. Light, medium and deep chemical peels are a popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure used to peel away the skin’s top layer to improve sun-damaged, unevenly pigmented and wrinkled skin. Improving the evenness of color and texture in your skin creates a youthful look and restores a healthy, luminous and radiant appearance.
When to Consider Chemical Peels
If you have wrinkles or sun-damaged skin.
If you have skin discolorations, blotchiness or brown spots.
If you have scars that have made the surface of your skin uneven.
If you have certain precancerous skin growths.
No anesthesia or sedation is needed. Light and medium chemical peels have minimal aftercare and recovery. Deep chemical peels have long-lasting effects on treating deep wrinkles.
