Most people know that acne affects our pores, but many people are unaware that it’s a hereditary condition. The pores in acne-prone skin shed cells much faster than normal skin does. Normal skin types (i.e. skin that is not too oily or too dry) will shed cells about one time a day. The cells in acne-prone skin can shed up to five times a day, and the body just can not keep up with this influx of cell buildup.
When this happens, a clog called a microcomedone forms, and this is the beginning of all acne problems. The microcomedone can take up to 90 days to turn into a blackhead or congestion under the skin. If bacteria (which just loves to feed on dead skin cells and oil) is present, the clog will turn into inflamed pimples, pustules, or even cysts.
But you don’t have to stand by and let this process affect your appearance and skin health. At Puresthetics, we have comprehensive solutions personalized to treat your acne, whether it’s just begun to develop or you’ve been dealing with it for years.
Our knowledge sets us apart as estheticians, and we pride ourselves on educating our clients. Reach out to us to learn more about any of our service offerings.
More Than Acne Spot Treatment in Cary, NC
Because it takes up to 90 days for acne to form, when you come to us for treatment, you may still have a lot of acne under the surface that we can not see right now, which will surface in the coming days. The products and acne system we provide will keep new acne from forming that would normally surface 90 days from now. The goal of treatment is to reduce the ongoing shedding process that is happening deep within the pore and encourage the skin to behave like normal skin type.
Healing your skin is a process, and we want to do it in a gentle, progressive way to avoid stress and setbacks. Our goal is to nourish your cells, reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and allow the skin to heal itself while remaining hydrated and balanced. Dive into the steps of our process below.
Step 1. Schedule a Consultation or Acne Bootcamp
Booking your first appointment gives us a chance to meet and assess your needs. Both a consultation and an initial Acne Bootcamp session will include:
After your initial consultation and treatment, you will receive a treatment plan specifically for your acne type, including recommendations for the best acne products to address your needs. Treatment plans come complete with instructions on how and when to use your products correctly. All products are 100% acne-safe, contain no pore-clogging ingredients, and are customized to your skin type and severity of acne.
Step 2. Bi-Weekly Follow-Up Appointments
We use these follow-up appointments to assess your progress and modify your treatment regimen as needed. We work to troubleshoot problems and provide powerful, medical-grade esthetics support. Each follow-up treatment includes:
High Frequency and LED lights may also be used to kill the acne-causing bacteria in your pores and reduce inflammation.
Step 3. Start Seeing Results
The Puresthetics Acne Bootcamp will have your acne under control in about 3-6 months (in most cases), depending on your type of acne. Some types of acne take longer to clear and your lifestyle habits will be a huge determining factor. We’re here to provide guidance and technical support, but it’s your job to put in the work and stick to a proper home care regimen.
