Change in weather means changes to the skin. Warmer weather can cause an increase of sebum production in the pore, an increase in perspiration and can encourage bacterial growth on the skin. These changes contribute to follicular blockages resulting in clogged skin and flare ups of acne.
A variety of treatment options are available to treat skin congestion and acne including topical products, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser treatments, photodynamic therapy and combination treatments such as power peels and laser peels.
To decide on the best treatment plan for a particular individual’s skin condition we recommend a SKIN CONSULTATION with one of our experienced Dermal Clinicians. This involves a thorough assessment of your skin including skin analysis with the Reveal Imager. Treatment options are then discussed and a treatment plan formulated.
