Teen Acne: Start NOW

Teen skin needs help before life-long scarring takes place.

Acne can plague us at any age but during adolescence and puberty is the time to start battling it.  Pre-teens are just learning how to take care of themselves and then BAM!, puberty kicks in and hormones turn their faces into an oily mess.  Chances are that your child will have some form of acne during this time. 

It is so very important to have your child on the right routine ASAP!  Washing twice per day with the proper cleanser for their skin type and applying the proper lotion will keep most acne at bay and will lessen the chances of life long scarring. 

Drugstore acne products are formulated to dry-out the skin; this is not a long-term solution, as it can set off a cascade of inflammation, over-drying the skin and causing the body to produce even more oil.  The excess oil and flakey, dry skin that it produces ends up clogging the pore and causing MORE acne. 

Addressing acne as early as possible will lessen the need for stronger medications, lasers and chemical peels later.  TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! 

Start your child on a chemical free, drug free, fragrance free, paraben free, SAFE skincare routine that won’t break the bank.  My basic acne set should do the trick, if used daily AM and PM.  The set is antimicrobial to kill acne bacteria, without killing off their healthy bacteria.  It’s anti-inflammatory to lessen the redness and swelling of acne.  And the products are very easy to use, nothing else should be added, as not all products are formulated to work well together.

Some kids need a bit more direction, or to hear it from someone other than their parents (eye-roll).  Setting them up for success may mean scheduling them for a teen facial, where I can educate them on why their home routine is important and how to stay consistent for clear skin.

What is Microdermabrasion?

MIcroderm

Microdermabrasion (microderm) is a non-invasive, comfortable, exfoliating procedure that produces immediate improvement of the texture and tone of the skin.  Microderm cleans out the pores making them look smaller, fades sun spots and acne scars, clears blackheads and acne, plumps fines lines and puts that youthful glow back into your cheeks.   For significant improvement of pigmentation (sun spots & Melasma) and persistent acne, you may need a series of treatments.  

The number of treatments and space between depends on your skin type, the severity of your condition, your goals and your budget. Monthly or bi-monthly microderm treatments are beneficial for individuals with thick/dry skin, persistent acne or for people over 25 wanting to keep their skin looking and feeling young.   The procedure takes about 30 minutes and there is no down time.  I highly recommend pairing microderm with Light Emitting Diode Therapy (LED).  LED plumps skin at the cellular level by helping your body produce its own collagen, kills the bacteria that causes acne, among other benefits.
