Acne and acne scarring can be debilitating conditions for those who suffer from them. If you currently experience acne, you’ll know it can be difficult to manage, a cause of embarrassment and sometimes painful. At Dr. MediSpa in Loughton, Essex, we have carefully chosen a variety of treatments to combat and manage the symptoms of acne so that you can live your life with confidence, every day.

Acne typically begins in teenage years when hormonal fluctuations affect the production of sebum in the skin. It can affect both men and women; it most commonly affects men more aggressively in teenage years to 20’s. Women tend to suffer acne into their 30’s and beyond. Identifying which type of acne you experience is vital to treating it effectively. Acne can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory, and a break out is usually referred to as ‘active acne’. Your acne can also leave behind permanent acne scarring, so even if your skincare routine has taken care of your acne, you may still see areas of scarring left behind.

Acne can present itself in the following ways and can be presented in more than one symptom at once:

  • Whiteheads
  • Blackheads
  • Papules
  • Pustules
  • Nodules
  • Cysts

At Dr. MediSpa, we offer the following treatments for active acne and acne scarring:

  • Dermapen micro-needling

A non-surgical treatment which uses a device with tiny needles which puncture the skin. This method encourages the skin’s own healing response and collagen production, which in turn improves skin’s texture and reduces the appearance of acne and acne scarring and fine lines.

  • I-pixel laser resurfacing (fractional skin resurfacing)

Laser resurfacing works by emitting especially selected laser light in to the skin. The heat from the laser encourages skin healing and reduces the appearance of marks and blemishes such as acne and acne scarring. I-Pixel laser is part of a new generation of technologies which is non-ablative (does not disrupt the surface of the skin) and offers better results and less downtime than older technologies.

  • Platelet rich plasma treatment (PRP)

A natural remedy for those who want to avoid chemical, topical applications. PRP uses your own blood growth factors, which when separated and injected back in to the skin, can produce a healing effect and skin resurfacing. PRP can be used in conjunction with other therapies such as micro-needling.

  • TCA CROSS skin peel

Using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) this chemical peel reconstructs and resurfaces the appearance of deep acne scars (ice pick scars). The TCA is applied to the skin and left for several minutes to remove debris, dead skin cells and excess oils and to smooth out the skin, leaving a more even texture. A course is recommended for optimum results.

At Dr. MediSpa, we believe that you don’t have to suffer the embarrassment and discomfort of acne and acne scarring and our skin experts are on hand to tailor make a specific treatment programme for you as an individual.
