Acne treatment
Not every skin disease that is associated with blemishes, inflammation or pimples and boils is inevitably acne. In any case, it should first be clarified with a dermatologist whether it is acne. Acne is mostly countersigned by comedones (blackheads). These are caused by clogging of the sebum glands and inflamed sebum ducts develop, bacteria penetrate into the deeper skin layer and it promotes abscesses and inflammatory sebum accumulations that can be painful.
​
It is important that you exclude streptococci and staphylococci and other skin diseases that mimic acne beforehand.
​
Acne is caused by various influences and factors; Not only in puberty the annoying blackheads, pustules and poplars can contaminate the skin and lead to inflammation.
Influencing factors :
-
(too fatty or too sweet) diet
-
Wheat intolerance (no allergy)
-
Milk sugar intolerance (no allergy)
-
Hormonal shifts due to falling estrogen levels
-
Puberty (hormonal surge and nutrition)
-
Foci of bacteria under the skin
-
(bad) products
-
Horny skin due to insufficient care​
-
strong sebum flow and Cornification
​​
In order to treat acne in adults over the long term, one has to find out the exact cause so that the acne does not keep coming back. You can test the incompatible foods in the diet with the elimination process. For example, by avoiding wheat (gluten also in ready-made spices and bouillon), potatoes and milk, hot spices, sesame, mustard, pepper or foods containing histamine for 14-21 days, then slowly adding food to the skin reaction after the 2nd day of Watch intake. This will help you identify diet triggers and get rid of acne in the long term. There is no other way to exclude food.
​
If you have keratinized epidermis , the flow of sebum may be impeded and acne or blackheads may develop. If this is the case, carbon laser therapy will help. The carbon paste combines with the dead, cornified skin flakes and the laser vaporizes them on the surface, it is absolutely painless and has a long-term effect.
​
Remove keratinized skin and sebum:
-
The skin is cleansed
-
The laser is used to exfoliate in order to vaporize the keratinized skin.
-
The ripe impurities are cleaned up as well as possible
-
The bacterial foci are killed with a special process by heat (RF microneedling) under the skin, which has an antibacterial effect on the active bacterial foci. In the coming weeks the herd will dry out and if you have been able to remedy the cause, no more new ones should emerge.
​
You should plan 3-5 sessions at the beginning with an interval of 2 weeks. After that, it is sufficient to book a refresher session if necessary.
