Acne Facts and Solutions. Acne Treatments and Products That Work

P.acnes are the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts. They cannot live in an aerobic (oxygen-rich) environment. Benzoyl peroxide works by introducing oxygen into the pore, and killing P.acnes. When the bacteria population is reduced, the number of breakouts on the skin is reduced. Lira Clinical has treatments and products that really work for clearing acne. Not only do these treatments and products effectively kill P. acnes they also have the ability to help rid the follicle of excess dead skin cells. Clearing the pore of cellular debris will lessen the chance of pore blockages, or comedones. So Benzoyl peroxide helps prevent breakouts before they start.

The Jessner Peel Addresses Many Skin Concerns

One of my skin care treatment specialties is chemical peels. There are a variety of chemical peels. Each type of peel addresses specific issues. The Jessner peel is very popular because, in the hands of a trained professional, it effectively softens the depth of surface lines around the eyes and nasolabial folds, helps clear acne, smooth skin texture and even skin tone especially in oily skin.

Keeping Hyperpigmentation at Bay With Modified TCA Treatments

Simply, tyrosinaise is the name of the body’s chemical that prompts the skin to tan and develop brown spots (hyperpigmentation).

TCA is the Peel for Sensitive Skin types

The TCA exfoliating treatment that I use is formulated for extremely sensitive skin types and is designed for the special needs of mature, ethnic and sun-damaged skin. It is effective in reducing the appearance of age spots, acne scars, fine lines, freckles, superficial hyper pigmentation, and pregnancy related pigmentation. It is antibacterial while providing nourishment, brightening while leaving the skin feeling plump and hydrated. This exfoliating treatment is excellent for treating rosacea, psoriasis and other hypersensitive skin types or conditions.
