Clear Complexion Facial
Acne Therapy IPL is beginning to revolutionize the treatment of acne. Treatment of acne is extremely varied from patient to patient. Sun exposure is known to have a beneficial effect on acne patients. We use a visible blue light treatment through a mechanism similar to that of sunlight therapy.
What is a Corrective Acne Facial?
Gently cleansing through massage and steam followed by a light microdermabrasion, by our specialized aesthetician. The Blue Light Treatment is then applied. It is effective in releasing singlet oxygen that is effective in killing bacteria and reducing the severity of acne. This treatment is then followed up with just the Blue Light Therapy twice a week for one month. At that time it will be determined if another series of treatments is necessary.
Before a Corrective Acne Facial:
Patient should stop all Retinols and Metronidazole Topicals and all oral medications which can make you sun sensitive for 7 days prior to treatment. Patient should not be in the sun or tanning bed for at least 7 days prior to treatment.
Post Care of a Corrective Acne Facial:
Cleanse face twice a day, including after exercise. Avoid excessive skin washing. Shampoo hair daily and keep off face. Avoid skin infections and scarring by not squeezing, scratching, picking or rubbing the pimples. Avoid greasy cosmetics and creams. Only water based formulas and mineral makeup are suggested. You may apply mineral based makeup within 1 hour after treatment. Patient will need to wear sunscreen protection for 30 days.
