Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the development of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and often, inflammation. It primarily affects the face, chest, shoulders, and back. The causes involve a combination of factors such as excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and hormonal fluctuations. While it’s most prevalent during adolescence, acne can persist into adulthood
Acne typically begins with the formation of pimples. These can be whiteheads (closed comedones) or blackheads (open comedones). Whiteheads are closed pores filled with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, while blackheads are open pores with similar blockages that become dark when exposed to air.
MILD ACNE
Mild to moderate acne typically manifests through a combination of factors. Excess sebum (oil) production, often influenced by hormonal changes during adolescence, can clog hair follicles. This, coupled with the shedding of skin cells, creates an environment conducive to the growth of acne-causing bacteria. The trapped bacteria trigger inflammation, leading to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed pimples.

Moderate to severe acne
Moderate to severe acne is excessive production of sebum, combined with the shedding of skin cells, which can lead to clogged pores. When these pores become blocked, acne-causing bacteria thrive in the follicles, triggering an inflammatory response. This process results in the formation of various types of acne lesions, including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.

Hormonal fluctuations or conditions like PCOS

Why choosing lia aeshtetics when treating acne?
what we do?
Lia Aesthetics adopts a comprehensive approach to treating acne, recognizing the nuanced nature of this condition.
In instances of mild acne, targeted peeling is employed to quell inflammatory responses.
Severe cases may necessitate a dual-peeling initiation after calming initial inflammations.
The subsequent Medical Deep Pore Cleansing method mechanically extracts impurities, unblocking pores. Post-liberation, additional peeling sessions follow, reducing channels and pre-empting future clogging.
Acknowledging skin dehydration from peelings, a strategic Hydrafacial session restores the skin's pH to normalcy, ensuring a holistic and balanced acne treatment program.

Is this treatment program suitable for my skin type and acne severity?
Our programs are designed to address a range of skin types, and acne severities and customize the treatment accordingly.
What are the benefits of mechanical extractions for acne compared to other methods?
Mechanical extractions are effective at removing comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and other acne impurities directly from the pores. This can lead to quick improvements in the appearance of your skin.
How do peelings work to treat acne, and are they safe for my skin?
Chemical peels use a solution to exfoliate the skin's outer layer, reducing inflammation and removing post-acne marks, unclogging pores, and promoting smoother skin.
What is Hydrafacial, and how can it benefit my skin as part of the program?
Hydrafacial is a non-invasive treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. Towards the end of the program, it can enhance the overall results by promoting skin health and hydrating the skin after peelings.
Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with these treatments?
Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including redness and peeling. Risks are minimized when the treatments are administered by skilled professionals.
