Acne
TREATMENT

Are you tired of dealing with stubborn acne that just won’t go away? Look no further than SkinRx Aesthetic Clinic for a solution to your skincare woes. At SkinRx, we understand that acne is a multifaceted issue that requires a comprehensive approach. Our treatments are designed to address the root cause of acne-prone skin by promoting healthy skin functioning.

Acne is a general term for eruptive skin disease. There are many types of acne including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, and cystic. Acne is the most common skin disorder diagnosed by dermatologists and other healthcare providers worldwide, and mostly affects adolescents. In adolescents, the prevalence is 65 – 75%. In Durban, South Africa (SA), with a population of 3.228 million, it has been documented as the second most common skin disease, with females mainly affected. Although acne has traditionally been thought to be a disorder of teenagers and adolescents, children and adults have been noted to be increasingly affected.

Causes

Though the exact cause of acne has not been determined, research has shown that four key elements contribute to acne. They are:

excess oil
clogged pores
bacteria
inflammation

During adolescence, the body begins to develop more sebum oil, which is produced to ensure our skin does not dry out. When sebum cannot flow freely to the skin, clogged pores result. Bacteria already found on the skin’s surface flourishes in the excess oil and causes inflammation.

The degree of inflammation determines what type of acne appears on the skin. A small amount of inflammation results in a blackhead or a whitehead. This means oil flow is blocked right at the surface of the skin and is the least serious form of acne. If the pore is blocked deeper within the skin, a papule, or pimple, forms. If the pore becomes blocked deeper still, a pus-filled pimple, or pustule, forms. The most severe type of acne lesions are cysts, which occur when very deep blockage causes intense inflammation. Cysts, sometimes called nodules, are very painful bumps.

Our Unique Approach To Treating Acne

Acne can be a frustrating and difficult skin condition to deal with, but we have effective treatments to help combat it. Our approach to treating acne is unique in that we focus on improving the overall health of the skin, rather than simply targeting individual pimples or blemishes. We believe that by promoting healthy skin functioning, we can prevent breakouts from occurring in the first place.

Our Popular Signature Enzyme Therapy for Acne-Prone Skin

One of our most popular treatments for acne-prone skin is our Signature Enzyme Therapy, which utilises natural enzymes to break down dead skin cells and reduce inflammation. Our treatments can be customised to fit your unique needs and concerns, and our trained professionals will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan.

We offer a range of other treatments that can be customised to your specific skin type and concerns. Our DMK Acu System is a comprehensive acne treatment that targets both the internal and external factors that contribute to acne. This treatment uses a combination of DMK’s unique products and techniques to exfoliate and detoxify the skin, reduce inflammation, and kill acne-causing bacteria.

Personalized Treatment Plans and Home Care Products

We understand that every individual’s skin is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to acne. That’s why our trained professional will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. We also offer a range of home prescriptives and skincare supplements to help you maintain your results between treatments.

Other options include:

If scarring from acne occurs, some options such as Microneedling or Alkaline wash treatment may help reduce the appearance of scars.

Prevention

Research has proven that heredity, hormones, menstruation, and emotional stress can trigger acne, or make it worse. Although many of these factors cannot be avoided, it is recommended that patients not wash or scrub the skin excessively, which can irritate the skin and make acne worse. Diet does not generally contribute to acne, although if greasy foods are ingested often, oil from the food may transfer onto the skin, particularly around the mouth, and worsen acne. Likewise, if you have oily hair, shampooing often may help reduce the risk of oil from the hair transferring onto the skin.
