At Nue Skin & Laser Clinic, we see patients all the time who come to us in the hopes of finding a way to moderate acne breakouts and rejuvenate the skin for a reliably clear and smooth complexion. Acne is a common condition that can wreak havoc on your regular skincare routine and your mental wellbeing alike as a result of the outward appearance of your symptoms, especially in more severe cases. 

In light of Acne Awareness Month, we wanted to put together a short guide to help you regain control of your skin and let you know the treatment options available to you.

Habits And Hacks

It’s far too easy to fall into the trap of common skincare myths when you’re trying to find a way to effectively moderate acne symptoms. We know just how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work – acne is very personal and what might prove effective for one person isn’t guaranteed to offer results for the next. It’s important not to give in to desperation and only move forward with generic guidance and over-the-counter products.

Firstly, don’t overthink when it comes to washing your face. Do so twice a day and be sure to use products that are gentle, cleansing and alcohol-free. Avoid ingredients that can dry your face out, like harsh, physical exfoliants, and use gentle, circular motions to massage the skin. 

We also suggest that you choose your skincare and makeup products wiseley, paying close attention to ingredients. Opt for oil-free, non-comedogenic offerings that are designed to minimise the risk of a breakout. At the end of the day, don’t forget to remove your make-up before bed, or you might end up with more spots in the morning!

Finally, the golden rule we can’t stress enough is to avoid popping and squeezing as much as possible. These habits can make symptoms of redness and inflammation worse while also pushing bacteria deeper into the skin, which could lead to infection.

Treatments To Help Moderate Acne

If your symptoms are verging on severe, the only way to ensure the best possible results is to consult with a specialist who can help to moderate acne symptoms and get you started on your journey to radiant, clear skin. Nue Skin & Laser Clinic is led by Kristina, our skincare expert who specialises in skin rejuvenation and laser treatments. We only use the most advanced laser technologies from the innovators at Lynton, whose medical grade machines guarantee unrivalled results. 

Following an in-depth consultation, where Kristina takes the time to assess your skin and your symptoms, we create a bespoke treatment plan with your goals in mind in order to maximise your results. We offer highly effective Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment that involves the use of targeted and controlled light energy to greatly reduce the severity and the number of active acne lesions. Most patients see an almost immediate reduction in inflammation and the frequency of their breakouts.

It might be that IPL alone isn’t enough to achieve the results you’re looking for, which is why a holistic approach to aesthetics is important for us at Nue Skin & Laser Clinic. We know how to formulate a personalised treatment plan that cleverly combines our clinical treatments to maximise your results.
