Severe acne and rosacea (the inflammation and reddening) causes great distress for many adults in the UK.
Many visit the GP in search of treatment, only to be disappointed with medication which can also have nasty side effects and may not really address the problem.
The difficulty is that acne is a very complex condition and there are a great many factors that can affect breakouts – as well as the chances of recovery.
Exploring Internal Health Issues
Dr Kubicka’s founded ClinicbeAcne, a specialist skin clinic serving the needs of patients who have acne and rosacea.
She explains how her approach works both inside and out to create a healthier skin:
“Many patients are unaware that internal issues can make a big difference to the skin. For many patients, the best place to start is with a really detailed diagnosis of the problem. We use OligoScan Advanced Cellular Tests to generate a real insight into the individual’s cellular health. This highlights imbalances including mineral deficiencies (due to diet and food choices), accumulation of heavy metals in the body and antioxidant levels.
“The gut contributes enormously to the efficacy of the immune system, so we also consider the impact of diet, digestion, metabolism, absorption of nutrients and detoxification. When these are not working well, immunity is lowered, making the skin more susceptible to breakouts.
“Lifestyle changes to address diet and activity or exercise can be very much underrated in treating acne and rosacea. We also explore whether stress is a trigger.”
Once the ‘internal’ factors have been reviewed, there are a host of approaches to improve the condition of the skin from the outside.
Skincare Regime Innovations
Getting the right routine in place using appropriate products gives the skin a daily cleanse and repair to allow it to recover a healthier tone. Skincare can be very confusing with a plethora of products available on the high street and in chemists.
ClinicbeAcne has advanced physician-only products that can’t be purchased without a prescription. This type of skincare product incorporates high levels of active ingredients which are designed specifically to work on the most difficult skin conditions.
Dr Kubicka suggests that a good skincare routine is the foundation of treatment:
“Good daily skincare is essential for cleansing and hydrating inflamed skin.
“Allowing an aesthetic physician to examine your skin and prescribe the right combination of products is invaluable. At ClinicbeAcne, we offer Acnelan products as well as UniverSkin, Obagi and a host of other brands. Having top cosmeceutical skincare at our disposal means that we can tailor a routine that suits each individual client – and adapt it as the skin starts to recover.”
5 High Tech Acne Treatments
Dr Kubicka’s ClinicbeAcne offers a range of high-tech treatment options for improving acne:
- Plasma Shower – a new concept in treating acne which uses plasma energy to address the root cause of the problem by tackling the bacteria in the skin. This treatment also aids absorption of specialist creams or serums, stimulates and accelerates healing and promotes skin regeneration. After treatment, the skin continues to improve and look healthier, clearer and fresher
- IPL Laser Treatment – intense pulsed light from our advanced equipment can be used to meet the needs of acne-troubled skin. The energy penetrates the skin where it works to soothe inflammation and stimulate cell growth and renewal. Redness can be eased to promote clearer-looking skin
- Dermastamp – this treatment embraces the concept of microneedling – tiny wounds to the skin’s surface – which work to allow absorption of serums while also stimulating the skin’s natural recovery and renewal mechanisms. Dermastamp allows precise targeting and adjustment to allow a more intensive treatment for areas most in need while taking a more delicate approach to others that may be more sensitive
- Cosmetology Facials – a specially designed facial can be enormously beneficial for acne and rosacea. It is important to choose a facial that has been designed with the specific individual’s needs in mind. This means an approach that is not overly aggressive yet still effective, incorporating treatments and products that best suit the skin’s needs
- Advanced Exfoliation – removing the outer surface of dead skin cells and grime ensure that the skin is perfectly clean. This also stimulates cell renewal and collagen production. ClinicbeAcne offer both microdermabrasion and chemical peel, which can be tailored to the needs of the skin to ensure they are effective without being overly harsh
