ACNE<br />

TREATMENT<br />

Most people experience acne in varying degrees at some point in their<br />

life. There are a number of factors that contribute to the development<br />

of acne, the most common are genetic, hormonal, environmental and<br />

dietary factors. Not all acne is the same and not all skin is the same, so there is<br />

no one treatment that will work for everyone.<br />

<strong>Cosmetic</strong> Elegance Clinic tailors treatments to suit each individual based on the<br />

type of acne, age group and lifestyle. We have a holistic approach to the treatment<br />

of acne that includes looking at diet, skin care regimen and treatment. We look<br />

at the whole person and are especially conscious of the psychological effect<br />

acne has on young lives. Our treatment plans feature the very latest in scientifi c<br />

technology including: Dermasound facial treatments, microdermabrasion, IPL<br />

light therapy, copper bromide laser treatment, medication and dietary advice.<br />

ALL ABOUT ACNE<br />

Acne typically affects areas of skin where there is an over-production of sebum<br />

(oil). Pustules and papules develop as a result of blockages in follicles caused <strong>by</strong><br />

sebum and dead skin cells. This is often compounded <strong>by</strong> bacterium, which leads<br />

to infl ammation and can result in scarring.<br />
