Acne Treatment

What is acne, really?

Acne (acne vulgaris) is the most common skin condition among children and adolescents. It develops when the sebaceous gland over-produces sebum, the sebum struggles to drain through the pores and accumulates in the gland's outlet, the P. acnes bacterium multiplies within it - and inflammation develops.

The acne bacterium is present in everyone's skin, within the hair follicle, yet not everyone develops acne - it flares only where sebum production is elevated. The bacterium creates sub-dermal plugs, which surface as the inflammation and blemishes we see. Flare-ups are often linked to emotional stress driving hormonal changes.

Four main factors behind breakouts

• Increased sebum production in the sebaceous glands
• Proliferation of acne bacteria (P. acnes)
• Altered keratinisation of skin cells
• Inflammatory processes - release of inflammatory mediators into the skin

How we treat acne at the clinic

Acne is treated through several complementary approaches: active ingredients for home use that allow the skin to clear and move towards healing; in-clinic actives that subdue inflammation and significantly support the healing achieved at home; and dedicated devices for calming inflammation and soothing the skin - phototherapy, laser, electroporation and high-frequency technology.

Inbar Ben Aderet's integrated method works on two levels: the physical - treating the skin gently and precisely, aiming at the root of the problem; and the emotional - empowering, confidence-building dialogue incorporating NLP techniques, in the understanding that stress and low self-worth are significant triggers of flare-ups.

Why proper treatment matters

Treatments that only address blemishes on the surface, without treating the cause, can lead to recurrence - often stronger than before. Untreated or poorly treated acne can leave scars, and beyond the skin itself, erode confidence and everyday comfort.

Daily hygiene and care

Poor hygiene can aggravate acne, so cleanse the face with gentle products. Wash the face once a day and no more - over-washing can dry the skin out.

Pricing & Cadence
