Vancouver Spa: Abolishing Adult Acne
Many times I’ve encountered clients who’s skin has suddenly erupted with adult onset acne. For most people, this seems like some kind of a cruel joke. Aren’t pustules and oiliness something reserved for pubescence? It would seem that we live in a unique time when people are striving to do it all and amidst this stress, we also have to combat environmental aggressors.
This combination can trigger a shift in hormonal balance and lead to the frustrating condition of acne. The triggers are what make adult acne more difficult to treat. If people could simply eliminate their adrenalized response to stress, then perhaps acne wouldn’t be a problem. However, we do live in the real world and we don’t all have zen skills for dealing with stress.
Medication can be extremely taxing on your internal organs when treating this skin disorder and simply working on a topical level is not always successful. If you’re looking for an alternative, I would suggest trying a BBLs Acne Therapy treatment. The BBLs uses the light spectrum, blue, red and yellow light waves to treat and minimize acne. The blue light works a little more superficially to kill the p. acne bacteria which cause pustules to arise in the skin. The red and yellow light waves work a little bit deeper into the skin eliminating inflammation and significantly reducing oil production.
Treatment regimens are very frequent initially until the acne gets under control. They’re spaced about one week apart for anywhere from 4-8 weeks. After that, less frequent maintenance treatments will help to keep things maintained.
Of course, it is really important to makes sure that whatever products you’re using on your skin are not exacerbating the problem. Drug store and department store brand cosmetics are notorious for ingredients that act as filler to stretch out the volume of quality ingredients. This keeps the cost of production low and the efficacy of the products minimal so that most people can use them without reaction. Here’s a link to a previous blog entry which gives you some basic pointers of ingredients to avoid.
