Acne Treatment with Intense Pulsed Light and Jan Marini Skin Treatments
“Successful, non-medication based treatment, significantly reducing the effects of acne on the skin”
Acne is caused by a bacteriological infection. The bacteria aggravate the sebaceous (oil) glands, leading to the over-production of sebum. This builds up under the skin, appearing as red pustules (spots) and inflammation.
Traditionally acne is treated with a long-term course of antibiotics, which in some patients can lead to little improvement in the condition. Dr Rhatigan offers the advantage of a non-drug based approach, combining Intense Pulsed Light and a skin care programme which together destroy the bacterial infection and reduce the inflammation of the sebaceous glands.
The yellow, green and infra-red light colours are released in each short pulse of light, resulting in fast treatments that control the multiple aspects of acne suffering. Successful treatment often incorporates the use of a chemical peel prior to Intense Pulsed Light treatment. The peel exfoliates the dead skin cells that together with the sebum block the pores and cause the red spotting. This helps the light to penetrate the skin, increasing effectiveness.
Most patients achieve a significant reduction in the severity and frequency of outbreaks following a course of 6 treatments.
At the Orchard Cosmetic Skin Centre, the Intense Pulsed Light treatment is supported by a skin care programme from the Jan Marini Skin Research Inc. The result of 40 years of medical research the Jan Marini range is highly developed and has specific products for the treatment of acne. The acne gels to the acne products which contains two skin rejuvenating and re-surfacing agents, working to reduce bacteria and treat inflammation.
Acne is a very personal and complicated condition and studies show that it affects over 80% of the population aged 14 -30. Combining compassion and expertise, Dr Rhatigan works with her patients to ensure that the treatment they receive is entirely suited to their individual needs. Expected outcomes will be discussed during the pre-treatment consultation.
All treatments are preceded by a full consultation and test patches, undertaken by Dr Rhatigan. There will be time during this consultation to answer any questions or queries you may have about the treatment.
