Solutions for Adult Acne

It’s hard enough dealing with the occasional breakout as a teenager, but many adults are still suffering from the embarrassing signs of acne, such as blackheads, whiteheads, bumpy skin and redness. 

If your current skin care regime just isn’t cutting it, or you’d just like to see exactly how good your skin can look, we invite you to pay a visit to our Orlando Plastic Surgery and Skin Care center for a consultation with Amanda.

For recalcitrant acne, you may want to consider a treatment known as ALA + Blue Light Therapy.

Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) combined with non-invasive blue light therapy is used to effectively treat stubborn acne.  ALA is a photosensitizing agent which causes your skin to be more susceptible to light. 

The treatment begins with exfoliating the skin to remove any dead cells and debris.  ALA is then applied to the face for 15 to 60 minutes (the length of time depends on the severity of the acne).  The photosensitizing agent is removed and the blue light therapy begins.  The blue light kills bacteria that causes acne and shrinks the skin’s oil glands reducing oil within the pores.  This pain-free treatment also helps rehabilitate the overall texture of your skin including acne scarring.

Some patients notice a change in skin tone after just one treatment; However, three to five treatments are recommended for best results. 

To learn more on how to solve your skin’s worst problems, call Aesthetic Enhancements Plastic Surgery- our Orlando Plastic Surgery and skincare center to schedule your complimentary consultation with our experienced Paramedical Aesthetician - Amanda Chapman.  There’s no need to let acne get the best of you, especially when there’s an easy way to fight back!

Put "Bacne" Behind You!

Backless dresses are in... back acne is not!  No one should have to be embarrassed to show off their shoulders and back due to unsightly blemishes or “bacne”?  I’ll admit, it’s a hard task to maintain a healthy complexion back there - it is close to impossible to even reach in the shower!  Not to worry though, if you weren’t blessed with a perfectly flawless back, there is something you can do about it!  With a few visits to our Paramedical Aesthetician, Amanda Chapman, you will be flaunting your backside in no time at all!

A simple trick to try at home:  Have a friend rub benzoyl peroxide (an active ingredient in many acne fighting treatments) on the acne prone areas on your back. Once that dries, put an acne fighting toner in a spray bottle and spritz it all over your back.  This will help prevent more acne from occurring due to sweat. (Then tell your friend you owe ‘em one!)

If you are interested in something a bit more soothing and effective, a Back Facial may be just what the doctor ordered!  Just like you clean and pamper the skin on your face to keep it looking fresh and vibrant, every so often your back may need a little love too!  A back facial will help unclog pores and clear acne - leaving your back feeling soft and smooth. 

At Aesthetic Enhancements, Amanda offers a variety of treatments to target your specific skin type. Steaming and extractions rid the skin of any blemishes, while an exfoliating scrub removes dead skin cells, a moisturizing mask cures hydration, and chemical peels or microdermabrasion can be used to treat a variety of concerns as well.

Just because you can’t see your back, doesn’t mean others aren’t looking!  So call our Orlando Plastic Surgery, Skincare and Hair Restoration Center today to schedule your complimentary skincare consultation!  It’s time to feel confident with your body from head to toe!
