Navigating acne as a naive teenager was nerve-racking and overwhelming. There wasn’t much open conversation about the different routes to take or skincare to use. Growing up in the age of Proactiv TV ads, I fell into the trap of throwing anything and everything at my acne in an attempt to get rid of it. When that didn’t work, I sought out a dermatologist whose only recommendation was to put me on Accutane. I spent 14 months on Accutane with only a very shallow understanding of the medication or my acne. While my time on Accutane helped clear up my acne, I developed long-lasting skin conditions like eczema on multiple parts of my body and increased skin sensitivity, among other issues.
I wish my 16-year-old self had known to try other routes before resorting to medication. If I had seen an esthetician regularly or sought out a second option, I might never have had to go on Accutane. My personal story has become my driving force in helping others understand their acne, how to manage and clear it, and how to learn to love and embrace their skin.
The iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial is a fantastic option for low-grade acne due to its combination of exfoliation and hydration.
- Exfoliation: The “Fire” part of the treatment uses a resurfacing mask that heats the skin, promoting exfoliation and increasing blood flow. This helps to clear out clogged pores, which are a common cause of acne.
- Hydration: The “Ice” part follows with a soothing mask that cools the skin, providing hydration and reducing inflammation. This helps to calm the skin and prevent further breakouts.
- Reduction of Oil Production: The treatment helps to reduce excess oil production, which is another factor that contributes to acne.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike more aggressive treatments, the Fire & Ice Facial offers minimal downtime and side effects, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules or for teens.
Overall, this facial treatment helps to clear blemishes, refine skin texture, and restore a healthy glow
The BioRePeel treatment is highly effective for both acne and acne scarring due to its unique combination of active ingredients and dual-action technology. Here’s how it works:
- Exfoliation: BioRePeel uses Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), which helps to exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells and promoting the turnover of new skin cells. This process helps to clear out clogged pores, reducing the occurrence of acne.
- Biostimulation: The treatment also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin repair and rejuvenation. This helps to improve the texture and tone of the skin, making acne scars less noticeable.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: Ingredients like salicylic acid help to reduce inflammation and fight bacteria, which are common causes of acne.
- Brightening and Hydration: The peel includes tartaric acid and lactobionic acid, which help to brighten the skin and improve hydration, giving the skin a more even and radiant appearance.
- Antioxidant Protection: The addition of vitamin C and vitamin B2 provides antioxidant protection, helping to combat free radicals and environmental damage that can worsen acne and scarring.
BioRePeel offers a comprehensive approach to treating acne and acne scarring by promoting skin renewal, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the skin’s natural healing processes.
Combating severe acne effectively means tackling it from multiple angles, and that’s exactly what we achieve by combining VI Peel and Microneedling. Here’s an easy breakdown:
VI Peel: The Reset Button for Your Skin
Think of the VI Peel as hitting the reset button on your skin. It’s a medical grade chemical peel that exfoliates the top layers of your skin to:
- Clear Out Pores: It removes dead skin cells and debris that clog pores and lead to breakouts.
- Prevent Future Acne: By keeping pores clean, it reduces the chances of new acne forming.
- Brighten and Smooth: It promotes the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells, giving you a brighter and smoother complexion.
Microneedling: Boosting Your Skin’s Natural Healing
Microneedling is like a workout for your skin’s healing abilities. It involves using tiny, fine needles to create microscopic channels in your skin. This might sound intense, but it’s minimally invasive and highly effective:
- Stimulate Collagen and Elastin: These micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural healing process, boosting the production of collagen and elastin—proteins that keep your skin firm and smooth.
- Reduce Acne Scars: Increased collagen helps to fade existing acne scars and improves overall skin texture.
- Enhance Product Absorption: The micro-channels allow skincare products to penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
Why Combine Them? The Dynamic Duo
Using both treatments together amplifies the benefits:
- Enhanced Effectiveness: The VI Peel preps your skin by clearing the surface, making microneedling even more effective.
- Deeper Penetration: Microneedling allows the peel’s active ingredients to reach deeper layers of the skin.
- Comprehensive Acne Attack: Together, they address acne at the surface level and from within, reducing inflammation, unclogging pores, and promoting faster healing.
The Bottom Line
By combining the VI Peel and Microneedling, we’re not just treating the symptoms—we’re addressing the root causes of acne. This powerful pairing accelerates results, leading to:
- Fewer Breakouts
- Reduced Acne Scars
- Improved Skin Texture
- A Healthy, Radiant Glow
It’s a holistic approach that offers more significant improvements than either treatment alone.
Taking this step is an investment in your skin’s health and your confidence. We’ll tailor the treatments to your unique needs and guide you every step of the way.
