What factors have a tendency to aggravate
those prone to acne?
Acne is so diverse and can have so
many aggravating factors; a thorough client questionnaire
by your certified acne specialist at Dermavita is vital.
There will be those of you who have tried everything, if
you are not clearing up, chances are that one or more of
the factors listed below could be delaying your progress.
-
Lifestyle inadequate sleep (less than 8 hours
per night) or drug and alcohol use.
-
Stress: physical, emotional or job related
stress.
-
Seasons: hormone levels fluctuate as seasons
change, which alter the amount of oil produced (reaching
their highest in October)
-
Climate: humidity induces excretion.
-
Pressure or Friction: caused by caps, headbands
or anything in direct contact with the skin for any length
of time.
-
Picking: picking not only aggravates but
also can also worsen an acne condition and induce scarring.
-
Diet: foods high in iodine (processed foods,
salty snacks, etc.) should be eliminated. A well balanced
diet is recommended.
-
Pregnancy: hormonal fluctuations affect skin
conditions.
-
Birth Control Pills: consult your physician
to have your proper dosage prescribed.
-
Cosmetics: the use of the wrong products
may have a devastating effect on your acne-prone skin condition.

How can I control my acne?
Through the continued use of a properly
prescribed skin regime for home care and corrective in - clinic
treatments on a regular basis. Under these circumstances,
you can expect to be controlled in approximately three months.
Most acne conditions, if left untreated, will worsen and
increase the chance of scarring. Each treatment is very
private and will bring you a step closer to having clear
skin.
Why doesn't't simply cleansing my
face with an appropriate cleanser twice a day clear up my
acne condition?
Since the comedone (blackhead) is
formed below the surface of the skin; topical, non-penetrating
cleansing products can't affect it. Acne is not caused by
having a "dirty" face and can't be washed away. Only products
that are specifically designed to penetrate into to follicle,
loosen the impaction's and kill bacteria will be successful
in clearing up an acne condition. These products can be
recommended at Dermavita MediSpa by your Acne Specialist.
What will I experience during a professional
acne treatment, and how does it benefit me?
The treatment starts with an individual
consultation that includes proper skin analysis, explanation
of how genetics, stress, diet and use of over-the-counter
products may aggravate your acne prone skin. Therapeutic
Acne Facial is a corrective procedure designed to exfoliate
dead skin cells. It treats the face and those parts of the
neck, back and chest affected by skin disorders such as
acne, razor bumps and pigmentation. During the treatment,
an enzyme exfoliating mask; activated by steam; will soften
the skin impaction's, making the extractions more successful.
