SkinSational reveals secret to fighting ACNE!

In order to understand how you need to treat acne, you need to understand what acne is .

What is acne?

Acne is a disease that affects the skin’s oil glands. The small holes in your skin (pores) connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands make an oily substance called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by a canal called a follicle. Inside the follicles, oil carries dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. A thin hair also grows through the follicle and out to the skin. When the follicle of a skin gland clogs up, a pimple grows.

How Does Acne Develop?

Sometimes, the hair, sebum, and skin cells clump together into a plug. The bacteria in the plug cause swelling. Then when the plug starts to break down, a pimple grows.

There are many types of pimples. The most common types are:

  • Whiteheads. These are pimples that stay under the surface of the skin.

  • Blackheads. These pimples rise to the skin’s surface and look black. The black color is not from dirt.

  • Papules. These are small pink bumps that can be tender.

  • Pustules. These pimples are red at the bottom and have pus on top.

  • Nodules. These are large, painful, solid pimples that are deep in the skin.

  • Cysts. These deep, painful, pus-filled pimples can cause scars.

What Causes Acne?

The cause of acne is unknown. Doctors think certain factors might cause it:

  • The hormone increase in teenage years (this can cause the oil glands to plug up more often)

  • Hormone changes during pregnancy

  • Starting or stopping birth control pills

  • Heredity (if your parents had acne, you might get it, too)

  • Some types of medicine

  • Greasy makeup.

Who gets acne?

Acne is the most common skin disease. People of all races and ages get acne. But it is most common in teenagers and young adults. An estimated 80 percent of all people between the ages of 11 and 30 have acne outbreaks at some point. Some people in their forties and fifties still get acne.

How Is Acne Treated?
At SkinSational, we like to do a mild peel, followed by a micro-needling treatment straight after for effective results. The peel results in a quick response to wake up the inflammation caused by acne and the micro-needling creates a micro-channel which allows for better penetration of the product.
The client needs to understand that this a commitment process, product to take home will be recommended, and monthly treatments need to be booked to treat acne skin.

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.

What is micro-needling?

Skin needling, also called microneedling therapy, collagen induction therapy (CIT), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury
