What is acne?
Like wrinkles, acne is seen as one of most common
aesthetic skin imperfections. It is caused by clogged sebaceous gland ducts which manifest themselves in an
inflammatory reaction. If left untreated acne can in a later phase cause cysts to form under the skin. These cysts are filled with pathological material which eventually lead to
deep scarring.
Acne treatment
Acne treatment can include hormonal treatment, antibiotics, alterations in diet and the recommendation of certain food supplements. All of these treatments can help to
completely cure lighter forms of acne and
improve more difficult forms.
Effective methods for acne removal
At Asklepion, we offer
laser acne treatment. This has proven to be one of the most effective forms of acne treatment. We also provide other treatment methods that have very
positive results.
Smoothbeam Laser
The smoothbeam laser beam directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands and prevents the formation of acne.
- This method is 98 - 100% successful on the back after three sessions. This is because the back contains less sebaceous glands and as a result, higher levels of laser energy can be used.
- From 4 to 5 sessions are needed for facial treatment.
- After the first treatment, acne is usually reduced by 50 - 60%.
- Smoothbeam can also be used to treat and improve (hypertrophic) acne scars.
VRM Spectrum Laser
This laser works on the basis of selective photothermolysis.
- It is used for therapy of inflammatory acne manifestations, extensive pores, seborrhoeic oily skin, fine wrinkles, post-inflammatory hyperchromatosis or melasma.
- The results are visible after the first session.
- After the first treatment, acne is reduced by 50 - 60%.
Laser gel mask
The application of a laser gel mask -
Le Masque de Laser Asklepio - is also a very successful treatment method. This is especially the case when combined with the
biostimulating Maestro laser. The mask cleans and regenerates the skin.
Omnilux biostimulating lamp
This lamp emits red light which helps to heal inflamed areas very quickly. Great results are also achieved by using the
blue spectrum of the Omnilux lamp. The blue light destroys bacteria in the sebaceous glands and reduces inflammation.
Chemical peeling
Acne treatment can also include chemical peeling with highly concentrated fruit acid (40 - 70 %). The skin is exfoliated and then neutralized during this procedure. The calloused parts of the skin are removed to make space for
new cells.
What to do after acne treatment?
- Laser acne treatment may turn the skin slightly red.
- It is recommended to avoid sunshine for 3 months after the treatment.
- Use preparations with a high protective factor.
It is important to always consult your dermatologist. They can inform you about other procedures and can recommend the best aftercare for newly treated skin. Do not forget to regularly visit your beautician during the acne treatment. The Cosmetics Ward at Asklepion offers specialized skin care programmes for acne and uses purely natural Phytomer cosmetics made of seaweed.
