Chemical peels for acne

Acne is usually a condition attributed to hormonal changes during puberty. However, it is a condition that can affect both men and women at any stage in life and can be caused by several factors. Chemical peels for acne work by gently removing dead skin cells, to stimulate the growth and turnover of new healthy cells to improve the condition of the skin and treat several concerns.  

Now, acne can be extremely frustrating, and because everybody is different it will look different for each individual. For some, it may manifest as angry spots in specific areas, for others it may be a severe breakout all over the skin. Unfortunately, for many people, acne may also lead to blackheads, whiteheads, red lumps (papules), or pus-filled spots which may lead to scarring.  

Acne can affect any area on the body with larger oil glands, such as the face, back, and, neck. It develops when sebum and dead skin cells block the hair follicles, causing bacteria to form. This bacterium can trigger inflammation and infection which may lead to an acne breakout.

The most common acne triggers are genetics and hormonal changes, but it can be impacted by several other factors including: 

– Sun damage

– Lifestyle choices

– Environmental factors

– Skincare and makeup 

Chemical peels for acne are one of the most popular, and effective treatment methods on the market. Here at Ness Aesthetics, we have a range of different chemical peels available and will invite you in for a consultation to determine which solution is right for you to address your concern. 

Here is a breakdown of the best chemical peels for acne we offer at Ness Aesthetics.

Fillmed

Fillmed is a unique chemical peel that includes several treatments, each designed specifically to address a number of concerns including acne, scarring, hydration, skin laxity, and tone.

Each treatment contains specific medical-grade active ingredients that can penetrate the deeper layers of skin to target, and break down bacteria in the pores. 

These actives include mandelic acid, which is used to exfoliate the skin, hygroscopic to help boost hydration, and a blend of citric acids with antioxidant properties to support overall skin health, address UV damage and tackle hyperpigmentation. 

To finish, we also offer a nourishing hyaluronic acid facemask to add moisture to the skin.  

Overall, Fillmed treatments take between 40 minutes – 1 hour, depending on the treatment you are having. For best results, we recommend you have around three sessions, spaced every two weeks, and then once monthly after that.
