Double Action Acne Factor Attack

Misery loves company.  Acne isn’t just an event.  Rather, it’s a perfect storm of multiple events that happen at the same time, each of which has to be interrupted for x-amount of time in order to win a little complexion clarity. Combining modalities to fight all three acne factors simultaneously is really the only way to beat your breakouts.

Acne ain’t just about the oil, darling.  In fact, your skin could be a total grease factory with nary a pimple in sight. Or it could be as parched as the Mojave Desert and still be festooned in breakouts.  In fact, oil is just part of the problem. Big picture, here are the big bad three inflammatory acne factors and what should be done about them.

 

Acne Factor #1:  Dead skin cells (i.e. keratinization)

WHAT TO DO

Home care:  Exfoliating clean

sers and treatment products containing AHA’s, BHA’s and benzoyl peroxide that encourage cell turnover.

SKINxFIVE treatment: The Refresher that lightly peels the skin without irritation, and physically removes debris from the pores.

Acne Factor #2:  Excessive oil that combines with dead skin cells into a sticky pore-blocking sludge

WHAT TO DO

Home care:  Exfoliating cleansers and treatment products containing salicylic acid that dissolve the oil and bacteria.

SKINxFIVE treatment: The Infuser facial duo that further exfoliates by dissolving pore clogging debris followed by infusing alpha hydroxyl acid to reduce inflammation and antioxidants to accelerate healing.

Acne Factor #3:  Bacteria that feed on the oil and multiply into inflammation

WHAT TO DO

Home care:  Cleansers and treatment products containing benzoyl peroxide that kills bacteria and loosens  up dead skin cells for more efficient exfoliation.

SKINxFIVE treatment:  Both The Infuser and The Refresher to reduce bad bacteria by removing  them from the skin surface.The Spotless laser further clears blemishes by eliminating bacteria deeper in the pores and accelerating skin cell turnover.

Says our own SKINxFIVE founder and dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban, “The beauty – and indeed the necessity – of attacking acne with multiple treatments, multiple modalities and multiple ingredients is that the final results are significantly clearer than the sum of the parts.”

 

 

TRIPLE THREAT – If you like the idea of fighting acne on all fronts, SKINxFIVE offers a special package we call our Acne Trio that includes The Refresher, The Infuser and The Spotless in a single appointment, all of which work synergistically on different acne factors.  Acne is a stubborn foe, however, so for best results you may want to schedule a money-saving Acne Trio five series; that’s one Trio every two weeks for ten weeks.
