Acne & Skin Improvement

At Sensitif Laser Clinic, we use the latest techniques to effectively treat acne and other skin problems. We combine the Global Peel (a powerful medical peel line, available in various levels) with the Jeysis Celec V IPL – an advanced light system that effectively reduces redness, inflammation, and scarring.

This gives you a comprehensive treatment plan that not only addresses acne but also renews and evens out the skin.

What is Acne?

What is acne and how does it develop? Acne is a chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Sebum (oil) accumulates due to overproduction and blockage of the sebaceous glands, causing blackheads (comedones), pimples (pustules), and subcutaneous inflammation. The bacterium Cutibacterium acnes often plays a role in the development of these inflammations.

Causes & Triggers of Acne

Common causes of acne:

• Hormonal fluctuations (puberty, menstruation, stress, PCOS)
• Genetic predisposition
• Use of comedogenic cosmetics (pore-clogging products)
• Humidity, sweating, and friction (from clothing, phones, or helmets)
• Certain medications (e.g., corticosteroids or lithium)
• Diet (highly processed foods and dairy products can aggravate acne)

Symptoms: What does acne look like?

Acne manifests itself in different ways:

• Blackheads (open and closed)
• Red bumps (papules)
• Whiteheads (pustules)
• Painful, subcutaneous inflammation (cysts and nodules)

⚠️ Advice: For severe, cystic acne, we always recommend consulting a dermatologist.

7 Essential Tips Against Acne

Follow these essential tips for better acne management:

Cleanse gently: Do not scrub too aggressively to avoid irritation.

Never pop pimples yourself: this causes scarring and spreading.

Choose non-comedogenic products: look for oil-free and 'non-comedogenic' labels.

Clean your phone and pillowcases regularly.

Avoid touching your face.

Be consistent: a skincare routine takes 6-8 weeks to show results.

Always use sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation caused by acne.

Frequently Asked Questions about Acne (FAQ)

Common questions about acne treatment:

What is the difference between acne and pimples? Pimples are a symptom of the skin condition acne. Acne includes more than just pimples; it also includes blackheads and subcutaneous inflammation.

Does toothpaste help with pimples? No, toothpaste dries out and irritates the skin. It's better to use a product with salicylic acid or tea tree oil.

Are your products suitable for hormonal acne? Yes, our gentle formulas are ideal for adults with hormonal acne because they don't further irritate sensitive skin.

How long does it take to see results? On average, it takes 4 to 8 weeks to see a noticeable improvement. Be patient and consistent in your routine.
