Our exclusive Derma White Treatment is an effective way in treating acne on both the face and body. In this blog post, we will be talking about how the Derma White Treatment can effectively treat acne as well as the unique benefits it has. 

What is the Derma White Treatment made out of?

The Derma White Treatment is a natural herbal blend of vitamins, enzymes, and minerals that are all excellent for your skin. This treatment is offered exclusively by us here at The Laser Treatment Clinic, meaning you won’t find it elsewhere. 

The vitamins and minerals that make up our Derma White Treatment are all essential for skin health, they help promote skin renewal and stimulate the production of collagen. This helps to transform your skin and helps to get rid of acne. The natural ingredients in this treatment clear deep into the pores and clear stubborn upper dead skin cells that are blocking the pores to encourage acne lesions to clear and repair the skin and promote the growth of healthy acne-free skin. 

How does the Derma White Treatment treat acne?

This treatment is applied to your face as any other face mask would be, except it is massaged into your acne. This treatment can be applied anywhere on your skin where you have acne, including: back, arms, legs, buttocks, etc. The Derma White Treatment is effective at stimulating collagen production. Collagen is a protein within your body that when stimulated, promotes skin renewal, allows the Acne to clear and the skin to repair itself and supports the healing. This makes it a fantastic option for those with acne. 

What’s more is that the Derma White Treatment is a very safe, natural, and effective treatment. It requires no surgery/drugs/harsh chemicals like other forms of acne treatment, making it the ideal option for many people. 

Who is the Derma White Treatment suitable for?

This treatment is excellent for all skin types and tones, especially black and asian skin. The Derma White Treatment is also suitable for those with sensitive skin, due to the natural ingredients within it being gentle on the skin’s barrier.

The good news for acne scar sufferers is that there are a number of effective treatments available to banish acne scarring forever, and here at the Laser Treatment Clinic, we have all the information you need on how acne scar treatment works and how long it takes to see beautiful results.

Which Treatments?

There are four different types of acne scars which result from different causes such as infection, cysts, picking at your acne or a virus, and the scars left behind appear slightly different according to the initial cause of the outbreak. The type of skin you have also has a bearing on what treatment you have. It is because of these variations that treatments vary, and so can the time it takes to see visible improvements.

Derma White Treatment

Derma White Treatment is one of our more gentle skin peel treatments, which uses natural products rather than harsh chemicals to help remove the first layer of damaged skin along with the bacteria causing the acne. The result will be lasting fresh, brighter and clearer skin.

Intense Pulsed Light Treatment

This kind of laser technology utilises broad-spectrum pulses of intense light to kick-start the healing process. Because it causes minimal damage to the top layer of the skin, you will heal and recover pretty quickly. You will see improvements following your first treatment, and these results will continue to improve over several months as treatment continues.

Vascular Laser Treatment

This is another of the very effective treatments offered here at the Laser Treatment Clinic and is particularly good for severe acne scarring, as is our Vascular Laser Treatment. It works by restructuring the surface of the skin, removing damaged skin cells and scarring while at the same time stimulating the formation of new collagen. 

As with any laser treatment, you will probably need several sessions over a number of weeks, depending on the severity of your scarring and the damage to your skin pigmentation. A degree of initial reddening and soreness is to be expected, but this will recede quickly, leaving behind the clear skin you’ve always dreamed of.  

Getting good results from any acne scar treatment won’t happen overnight. As we said, the time taken to see visible results can vary greatly from a few days to weeks or months, depending on the treatment and the severity of the scarring. What is important is that you follow the recommended treatment protocol exactly as your dermatology professional tells you and be patient! Your treatment will work to give you the beautiful, clear, scar-free skin you’ve always wanted.

The post How Long Would It Take to See Visible Results from Acne Scar Treatment? appeared first on Laser Treatment Clinic.

To explain why this is we first have to explain the difference between these terms. Here at the Laser Treatment Clinic, we see these issues all the time and are proud to be able to offer the latest treatments.

Acne Scars

These are either deep scars or blemishes or can be raised bumps. They are caused by a number of things – bacteria, cysts or inflammation, and frequently, they are caused or made worse by picking at them. Acne scars become a problem when not enough collagen is produced to heal them. 

Hyperpigmentation

This is an umbrella term to explain discolouration of the skin ranging from melasma to age – commonly known as liver – spots. Melasma is seen as patches, spots or larger areas which are darker in colour than your natural skin tone and results partly from hormonal changes within the body.  It is this which differentiates it from hyperpigmentation. 

Pigmentation is the natural colouration of the skin produced by melanin in the skin cells, and too much melanin results in darker spots on the skin. Melanin is stored in the upper layers of the skin and where acne scars occur you will see a concentration of darker pigmentation which can have the effect of highlighting the appearance of the scars.

Essentially, the difference between the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation lies in the texture of the skin. Scarring presents as an obvious change in the skin, as in pitting or raising, whilst pigmentation does not always change the texture of the skin, just the colouration, although an excess of pigmentation can cause slightly raised skin.

Acne-related Hyperpigmentation

This condition presents as dark patches over a scar and develops after a scar or blemish has tried to heal. This is often referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. As the skin tries to heal itself and form new skin cells it is often the case that the cells which are deployed to help the healing process contain too much melanin. The result is a darker patch of skin on top of the acne scar.

It is important to remember that picking at or squeezing your acne scars is likely to prolong inflammation and can increase your chances of developing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. People with naturally darker skin are more prone to this condition.

Can This Be Treated?

Darker skin spots can sometimes fade to a point on their own over time, but this is not always the case and may take anywhere from 3 months to several years to happen. Fortunately, there are a number of treatments available to banish both acne scars and pigmentation blemishes, including laser treatments and natural skin peels, depending on the severity of your condition.

If you’re unhappy with pigmentation and scarring, why not book a consultation with a member of our team at The Laser Treatment Clinic to find out what your options are? 

The post Why Pigmentation and Acne Scars Often Occur Together appeared first on Laser Treatment Clinic.

What causes acne scars?

Acne scarring happens when nodules and cysts burst and damage the surrounding skin. Although any type of acne can cause scarring, this is the most common reason. Another cause behind acne scarring is when you squeeze and pick at your acne, this can cause a lot of damage to your skin, so it’s best to avoid this habit. Your best chance at avoiding acne scars is to let your active acne heal by avoiding touching it. 

What are the different types of acne scars? 

Not all acne scars are the same. There are two main types of acne scars that you should be aware of. These are atrophic scars and hypertrophic and keloid scars. 

Atrophic acne scars

Atrophic scars occur when the skin has difficulty regenerating tissue. This causes indentations in the skin that heal below the surface. These scars are very common and are mainly caused by severe acne. 

Severe acne is when you have cysts, nodules, and pustules that are painful and inflamed. Mild acne is usually whiteheads and blackheads along with a few red bumps.  

Did you know that there are 3 different types of atrophic scars? They are:

Ice pick scars: these scars are commonly found on your cheeks, they are small and have a sunken appearance. 

Rolling scars: this type of scar gives the skin a sloping, rolling, uneven appearance. They are common and often found on your cheeks too.

Boxcar scars: these scars create box-shape depressions into the skin, they are often defined by their sharp edges. 

Hypertrophic keloid scars

Hypertrophic and keloid scars are two types of raised scars. This forms where the acne once was. The difference from atrophic scars is that hypertrophic scars are raised rather than indented. Hypertrophic and keloid scars occur when scar tissue builds up.

These kinds of scars are usually found along the jawline, and on your back and shoulders. 

Treatments for scars

Here at The Laser Treatment Clinic, we can treat both atrophic and hypertrophic and keloid scars effectively on all skin types. There are many methods to treat acne scars, from laser resurfacing to collagen induction therapy to our natural skin peel treatment called the Derma White treatment. As well as advanced Microneedling with RF (Radio Frequency).

Advanced Microneedling with RF (Radio Frequency)

Remodel your face and body. Our popular fractional skin treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodelled to reveal more healthy smooth radiant youthful appearance.

The treatment can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, neck, shoulders and back.

Acne scars can affect one’s self confidence and esteem, this is why many choose to seek treatment in the hopes of getting rid of them. At The Laser Treatment Clinic, we offer a range of acne scar treatments that can help you with this. But first, how does acne scar treatments work exactly?

Below are a few acne scar treatments and how they work. 

Dermabrasion Treatment

An effective acne scar treatment is Dermabrasion treatment. This treatment uses a diamond crust tip to remove dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and promote the growth of new ones. The production of new skin cells means the body will produce more collagen as well. 

Here are some of the benefits of dermabrasion treatment as an acne scar treatment. 

• Precise
• A quick and non-invasive option
• Very effective
• Safe 
• Suitable for all skin types

Dermabrasion treatment is performed by skincare experts at a clinic. These fully qualified professionals will know what’s best for your skin after an evaluation. 

Collagen Induction Treatment with Radio Frequency

Collagen Induction Treatment is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat skin concerns by stimulating collagen production. This treatment creates micro-punctures in the skin using medical grade miniature, pre-packed sterilized needles, for each treatment.

Collagen Induction Treatment with Radio Frequency has all of the benefits of traditional Collagen Induction Treatment plus additional collagen production. The Radio Frequency energy delivered deep into the skin produces faster, more dramatic results.

The benefits of Collagen Induction Therapy with Radio Frequency is that it is an effective acne scar treatment as well as completely safe for the skin.

Advanced Microneedling with RF (Radio Frequency)

Remodel your face and body. Our popular fractional skin treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodelled to reveal more healthy smooth radiant youthful appearance.

The treatment can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, neck, shoulders and back.

The Derma White Treatment 

The Derma White treatment is a great acne scar treatment that’s perfect for sensitive skin. This treatment uses a natural blend of herbs, vitamins, and enzymes to promote collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein found in the body that can make our skin look smoother, brighter and healthier, improving the appearance of acne scars.

The Derma White treatment is applied to the face like a peel and is a non-invasive procedure. This treatment works well for those with sensitive skin as it doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals. 

The Derma White treatment is offered exclusively here at The Laser Treatment Clinic.

If you have acne you may be experiencing not only the physical symptoms, but the emotional and mental symptoms too. Acne is known to lead to emotional distress and low confidence. 

At The Laser Treatment Clinic, we aim to help alleviate your active acne and help you manage it effectively. We want to give you the skin of your dreams and restore your confidence. To do this we have a range of treatment options for you to consider. 

From laser treatment to our very own Derma White treatment, we’re sure to have a treatment that suits you best.

Laser Treatment for Active Acne

There are two kinds of laser treatment options for active acne that we offer here at The Laser Treatment Clinic. The following methods work by using lasers to remove acne-causing bacteria on the surface of the skin, followed by light that helps heal the breakage caused by lesions. The two laser treatments are:

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

IPL is a form of light therapy used to treat an array of different skin conditions. One of these skin conditions includes active acne. 

It works by sending out wavelengths of light into the skin which removes the acne-causing bacteria from the surface of the skin. This is effective in reducing acne as the bacteria is the cause of inflammation and pain.

Unlike laser resurfacing treatment, IPL uses more than one wavelength of light, whereas lasers are much more focused. 

Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing treatment involves using lasers to remove the damaged outer layer of the skin. This removes dead skin cells, acne-causing bacteria, and allows for new skin to grow. 

Similar to IPL therapy, this treatment also helps with the healing of damaged skin and helps the skin repair itself. This is because the heat from the lasers promotes healing. 

Derma White Treatment

Another treatment to consider if you have acne is Derma White treatment. This treatment is a non-invasive skin treatment that works in a similar way to a chemical peel. 

Derma White treatment is a herbal blend of vitamins and minerals that aims to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin. It’s a completely safe treatment that’s used to treat a variety of different skin concerns. The Derma White treatment is sure to leave your skin feeling brighter and more even. This treatment is offered exclusively at our clinic, so you won’t find it anywhere else!

If you’re interested in any of the above treatments then book a free consultation with us, where our skincare experts will assess your skin and discuss the best course of action for you.

The post Treatments to Consider if You Have Active Acne appeared first on Laser Treatment Clinic.

Thankfully, there are a variety of treatment options to keep your acne under control. One of these is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment. 

What is IPL Treatment?

IPL treatment is a type of skin therapy that uses light to treat primarily wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and sun damaged skin. Like a camera flash, IPL releases light on many wavelengths. This dispersion of light means that the light doesn’t focus on penetrating just one part of the skin, making it a gentler option. 

IPL uses light energy to target problem areas of the skin. This light energy is turned into heat and can help rid your skin of a variety of problems, including active acne. 

How IPL Helps Treat Active Acne

Despite being associated with treating ageing and/or damaged skin, this treatment can be used to effectively treat active acne.  

IPL works by targeting acne causing bacteria on the face and eliminating it from the skin. Without this bacteria, there is much less chance of an acne breakout. Removing this bacteria can also ease inflammation, making your acne much more manageable to live with. 

The heat caused by this treatment stimulates the area around the acne, encouraging the cells to heal and repair the skin. This gives an opportunity for skin to heal itself from the damage caused by lesions and breakouts. 

IPL treatment is a safe and easy option that’s worth considering to treat active acne. We offer this treatment here at The Laser Clinic, contact us for enquiries to find out more.

The Advantages of IPL Treatment

Like every treatment, there are advantages to consider. It’s important to find out how a certain treatment will benefit your skin before you make any decisions. Here are a couple of the advantages of IPL therapy:

• Quick and efficient. The treatment time is fairly fast , making it an efficient treatment option.
• Doesn’t damage surrounding skin. With the way IPL works, the skin surrounding the affected areas remain undamaged. 

Overall, IPL treatment is a great treatment option for active acne. For expert advice, book a free consultation with our team. They can provide you with the best advice tailored to your skin.

Allow Your Skincare To Work

Switching up your skincare every now and again is a great way to see what works for you. However, you must give every new product you try the time to work. Trying a new skincare product targeted towards helping acne is a great change to make, but only if you give it time to adjust to your skin. 

The ingredients in your product need time to activate and your skin needs the time to adjust. Giving up on acne products too soon won’t help alleviate your active acne. It’s necessary to allow for a few weeks to pass before you try something else. 

Try using a gentle cleanser to remove impurities whilst protecting the natural barrier of your skin. Why not try our deep sea cleanser gentle cleanser? A product designed to strip your skin of debris, and leave it feeling hydrated and revitalised. Marine ingredients are unique and effective in helping all sorts of skin conditions, such as acne. 

Discover A Treatment That Works For You

Professional treatment is a safe and effective way to treat your active acne. Changing up your skincare routine by incorporating a specialist treatment could be the key to alleviating your acne. 

There are many effective treatments to choose from. At The Laser Treatment Clinic, we offer a safe and effective treatment that is designed to help you achieve your skin goals. 

The Derma White Treatment is a treatment option that works similarly to a chemical peel, but is much more gentle on the skin. This is because the Derma White treatment involves using a natural herbal blend as opposed to harsh chemicals. This process can lighten, brighten, and clear affected areas. This treatment is offered exclusively at The Laser Treatment Clinic. 

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is another effective way to treat active acne. This treatment can encourage the skin to heal itself from the lesions that acne creates, alleviating painful symptoms. 

The Laser Treatment Clinic offers IPL treatment, Derma White treatment, and many more options to best suit your skin. 

Avoid Sunbeds 

If you occasionally pay a visit to a sunbed then this could be damaging your skin. The harmful UV rays emitted by sunbeds can have detrimental effects to your skin and overall health. 

Regular sunbed visits can dry out your skin, and block your pores. Worsening the symptoms of active acne.

The post Changes To Make If You Have Active Acne appeared first on Laser Treatment Clinic.

What are the main causes of active acne?

The most well-known cause of active acne is excess oil from the sebaceous glands. What this means is that when these glands become blocked, the buildup can lead to pustules and cysts. Most teenagers will experience oily skin during hormonal changes through puberty, but adult acne is also common. A great way to potentially avoid any excess oil buildup is to gently exfoliate your skin twice a week. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and excess oil from your face, leaving your skin feeling revitalised. Finding the right exfoliator for you will hopefully show improvement to your acne.  

A common cause of active acne is from certain bacteria on the skin. Whilst bacteria on the face is vital and healthy, it has been found that having too much of a specific type can cause inflammation resulting in painful acne. An advanced and effective way to treat this is through

intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment. Unlike other treatments, IPL sends light energy into the skin to target the acne causing bacteria right at the source. The surrounding tissue is not affected, making for a speedy recovery time. 

What is causing my hormonal acne?

If you suffer from hormonal acne, you may be familiar with the word androgens. Androgens are sex hormones such as testosterone that can sometimes cause the sebaceous glands to go into overdrive. This means that when there is a rise in testosterone, which happens during the menstrual cycle, the possibility of acne increases. However, this can be managed through several treatment options. One of the most important things to do when you have active hormonal acne is to wash your face with a good cleanser twice a day, apply sunscreen daily, and use the best acne product for you.

Can the right skincare routine help my acne?

Whilst there is no cure to active acne, at The Laser Treatment Clinic we can offer advice on the best skincare routine and habits to help. Everyone’s skin is different, we are all unique which means that if you find an approach that works for you then stick to it. 

However if you’re unsure on what to do about your acne then we recommend you start off your routine with a gentle cleanser, followed by a moisturiser that suits your skin type, and finish with an SPF. Washing your face with water after strenuous activities is also a good idea to prevent oil buildup, which can lead to a breakout.

Habits to help your skin

Adopting the right habits could help you control your acne and prevent inflammation. A good way to manage active acne is to acknowledge the small things that could lead to another breakout. This could be: avoiding touching your face, incorporating some low glycemic foods, and making sure you’re sticking to your skincare routine and acne treatment.
