Effective Acne Treatment Must Attack the Root Cause

An effective acne treatment must attack the root cause of acne - the excess oil that forms in the skin. That excess oil comes from glands in the skin. Those glands contain the natural chemicals that are needed for the formation of skin oils. An effective acne treatment must either do away with any excess amount of oil or must block the biochemical pathway that permits the natural synthesis of skin oils. At an optimal level, the production of skin oils encourages the creation of a shiny and youthful-appearing skin. When skin contains the proper amount of oil, then a teenager can feel content to look in the mirror, and to see his or her healthful face. When facial skin contains too much oil, then the same individual must often view a pimply face in the mirror. An effective acne treatment puts an end the production of excessive amounts of oil. Literature on the latest acne treatment indicates that it carries out its important function by blocking the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Why does such an action inhibit the formation of excess sebum in the skin? The hormone referred to as DHT is the product of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. That reaction takes place when testosterone molecules in the blood mix with the 5 alpha reductase in the skin cells. That mixing leads to the production of DHT. The formation of DHT in the skin cells then paves the way for the formation of added amounts of skin oil. When an adolescent has a large amount of testosterone in his or her facial skin, or when he/she has highly active reductase enzymes in the skin, then that teen is apt to have very oily skin. A teenager with oily skin must frequently deal with recurring bouts of acne. That is why teens who suffer from acne flare-ups have reason to give this new acne treatment a careful examination. Such an examination should show the acne-prone teenager that he or she can use that new acne treatment to launch a powerful, three-pronged attack - an attack on the factors that contribute to the formation of acne pimples. The real beauty of the new treatment for acne comes not from the product's effectiveness, but from its ability to deliver a triple punch More importantly, that triple punch comes from a product that does not demand careful and time-consuming product application.

Breakthrough cosmetic treatment now in Athlone!

La Belle Femme Beauty and IPL Clinic is pleased to offer a breakthrough technology which is proving to be one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in years!
New Photopneumatic Therapy tm (PPX) is the first FDA approved, painless procedure for the treatment of permanent hair reduction for face and body; pore cleansing acne treatment; acne rosacea and redness; and brown spots and sun damaged skin.
There are several key differences between PPX and other laser treatments:
PPX is effective - it is the first and only therapy to use a pneumatic energy (vacuum) which pulls the skin into the treatment handpiece. This manipulation of the skin increases the effectiveness of treatment as the target, be it hair, or damaged or discoloured skin, is brought closer to the surface, resulting in less discomfort and a stronger and more effective response. PPX is seven times faster than other treatments, so hair removal on large areas such as the back or whole legs can be completed in less than 30 minutes as opposed to up to two hours with other laser and light-based hair reduction treatments.
It is also exceptionally hygienic, providing ‘replaceable treatment tips’ for each client, so the tip that is touching your skin today has never touched another person's skin before, eliminating the risk of cross contamination and infection.
The highly efficient delivery of energy allows PPX therapy to use only a fraction of the energy that other treatments require, making it safer than other treatment modalities.
In a recent study, PPX Pore Cleansing Acne Treatment has even worked for people who have previously tried, but had no results with, topicals, antibiotics, and painful laser treatments.
Renowned clinics such as the Harley Medical Group and the Ailesbury Clinic provide photopneumatic therapy, and now it is available locally!
