UH Skin Clinic Successfully Treats Acne

Acne causes distress and embarrassment but it can be successfully treated, with the correct management to prevent breakouts which cause acne scarring. Upper Hutt Skin Clinic does an assessment and management plan with the allmedic™ range of skincare products, oral and topical therapies, Blue Light Therapy, Photodynamic therapy and micro-needling for treatment of scarring.

Successful treatment of acne requires an initial assessment, the correct skin care plan and appropriate topical or oral medication. Acne is usually a short term problem which affects mainly younger people when they have oily skin. Pores become blocked and inflamed and affected by bacteria leading to painful pimples and sometimes scarring.

Treatment may include education, allmedic™ products including Skin Cleanser, Exfoliating Scrub and Allclear Lotion and oral medication. If you have a more severe case of acne with scarring you may be offered PDT treatment. Your treatment will include any or all of the following:

Full assessment, consultation and follow-up

Education

Oral medication

allmedic™ Skincare products including Skin Cleanser, Exfoliating Scrub and Allclear Lotion

If you have a more severe case of acne with scarring you may be offered Photodynamic Therapy Treatment (PDT) or Blue Light Therapy.

Recommended by doctors and dermatologists, allmedic™ offers a non-invasive topical treatment for conditions such as acne, aging skin and sun damaged skin, as well as a general skincare range, including an SPF50+ sunscreen.

Light Therapy is simple and painless and provides proven benefits for the treatment of acne and skin rejuvenation. Treatment involves relaxing under the Red or Blue Light for 20 minutes. Blue Light is a useful treatment in the management of acne. It is a safe and non-invasive treatment which takes 20 minutes. The Blue Light activates natural chemicals found in the bacteria which cause redness in acne (Propionobacterium acnes). When stimulated, these chemicals destroy the bacteria. This helps to reduce acne breakouts in conjunction with a good skin care regime.

Upper Hutt Skin Clinic say it is important for best results to have a full skin management plan to manage oil production on the skin and to unblock pores, with the recommended treatment being two sessions per week for four weeks.
