Acne is a very common skin
disorder that affects over
75% of teenagers, young men and women; often into
a
persons' 30's and 40's. It is believed that acne
results from hormonal changes, which leads to
increased oil production. The problems occur when
this
excess oil production begins to clog pores and oil
ducts with dead skin cells, which further traps the
oil, causing the formation of whiteheads or
blackheads. Treating acne can help prevent a patient
from both the physical and emotional scarring that
is
often associated with this condition.
At White Orchid, our Acne-Lift Chemical
Peel treatment
is a resurfacing agent that is a combination of
Salicylic Acid (a beta-hydroxy acid) and Glycolic
Acid
(an alpha-hydroxy acid.) Salicylic Acid has the
remarkable ability to dissolve oil-based accumulated
dead cells, as well as decrease inflammation and
redness caused by breakouts. Glycolic Acid loosens
the bond of the dead cells to the oil ducts and pores,
where the breakout occurs. A series of 4 to 6 peels
every 2 weeks can jump-start your complexion into
healthier, clearer skin. A daily maintenance program
from our pharmaceutical-grade skin care line will
help
your skin to continue that fresh, glowing appearance.
Healthy skin helps us to bring our best face forward
with renewed self-confidence.
