Microdermabrasion

There are different reason for acne breakouts and it varies from individual to individual, we approach acne holistically and address all possible reason for the problem. It has been shown that varying levels of stress provokes acne spots. One study of female university students revealed they had more spots after the stress of end of term exams, however, it may take several weeks for the spots to show themselves after periods of stress.
Spots contain mainly acne bacteria. If you squeeze the spots this tends to force the acne bacteria into the surrounding skin where it may cause more redness and inflammation and often a much larger spot than you had in the first place. So resist squeezing, and instead apply a spot gel up to four times a day.
- The first is when the duct from the acne gland to the skin surface known as the oil duct gets blocked. Whiteheads and blackheads are caused by a build up of oil beneath the skin surface.
- The oil (sebaceous) gland is also stimulated to produce more oil .
- Acne bacteria grow very easily in the warm oil build-up.
- System imbalances affect the skin resulting in redness, painful spots, pus filled spots, and scarring.
