Adult Acne – cause and effect.

 As research and a more scientific approach has taken hold in the beauty industry it has become widely acknowledged that Acne is not just the preserve of the young. Many people have it blight their lives for far more years than just their teens, when they hit puberty. The major step forward in recent times has been the amount of money invested into the research behind the causes, the effects and the choice of treatments available to assist the sufferer. As a person ages ( Men and Women) the body is subjected to many hormonal changes and resulting imbalances, beginning as a person comes out of adolescence into maturity. For all women the most notable times of hormonal changes are initially around their monthly cycle, during pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause and post menopause. For men it can literally be at any juncture as they age, particularly if they were prone to acne as a teenager, and it is now recognised that most men can have hormonal changes/imbalances once they hit their mid-life years.

 Acne these days can be ‘managed’ if not cured by a range of treatments available and at Harmony Day Spa we are able to offer solutions using both our Dermologica and Environ product ranges to try and combat Acne. Specific recommendations we make will be dependant upon the severity of the outbreak. Hormonal acne tends to affect the ‘T’ zone so forehead, nose, chin – the centre panel of the face, and it is not uncommon to also affect the chest and back areas too.

 Some of the treatments we offer to deal with Acne are Glycolic Peels, Mesotherapy, Customised Cool Peels and Skin Vitamin Facials. Also in addition to the external treatments we offer, is one of our most advanced and effective in the treatment of acne and that is Skin Accumax. This is a skincare supplement containing multi vitamins, as well as plant nutrients, and the benefit of this is that it treats the problem from the inside. Thus it nourishes all the layers of the skin and can be as effective as reducing Acne by 80%. It doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals just the right quantity of nutrients to assist the circulatory system in ensuring all the cells are fed to the optimum advantage.
One aspect to note is that left untreated, Acne at any age can result in scarring and once this has occurred it is so much more difficult to help the skin look at it’s best and also can involve a much longer period of treatment, often more invasive, which in turn means more cost to the individual. Treated as early as possible scarring can be minimised or even negated altogether, so that as you age you do not have evident skin damage which can be hard to disguise.
