What Is Acne?

Acne, a common skin condition, isn’t just a surface-level concern. It represents an underlying imbalance, often hormonal or bacterial, manifesting as inflamed, painful breakouts. Beyond the physical implications, acne can significantly impact one’s mental well-being. But with the right medical approach, it’s not a life sentence. At Helix MedSpa, we tackle acne from a medically informed perspective, ensuring you get the comprehensive care you need.

Treatment At Helix MedSpa

Evidence-Based Approach to Clearer Skin

Acne is multifaceted, and its treatment requires a holistic, medically sound approach. At Helix MedSpa, we utilize Lumecca, a cutting-edge light-based technology, to target and eradicate P.acnes bacteria – the primary cause of inflammatory acne.

But successful acne treatment isn’t just about advanced devices. Preparing the skin and ensuring its optimal health both before and after treatment is crucial. This is where Allumier MD, our trusted partner in evidence-based skincare, steps in. These scientifically formulated products ensure your skin is in its best state to receive Lumecca’s benefits and helps maintain the results post-treatment.

What to Expect: Your Treatment Journey

Every skin is unique, and so is every acne case. Our experts will conduct a thorough assessment, understanding the root causes and crafting a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs

Before Your Treatment

Once we’ve crafted a tailored plan from our initial consultation, the focus shifts to preparing your skin for treatment. By incorporating a specialized regimen with Allumier MD products, we aim to make your skin more receptive to the upcoming Lumecca treatment, thereby maximizing the potential results.

During Your Treatment

In the tranquil environment of our state-of-the-art treatment rooms, Lumecca works its magic. Using intense pulsed light technology, it targets the P.acnes bacteria, reaching deep layers of the skin. The sensation is gentle, akin to a light tingling, with each pulse ushering you closer to your goal of radiant, acne-free skin.

After Your Treatment

The journey doesn’t end post-treatment. We guide you through the aftercare steps to ensure optimal healing. This encompasses a curated Allumier MD skincare regimen, tailored to sustain the treatment’s benefits and comfort your skin. Our commitment is longstanding, with regular check-ins to monitor your progress. With sustained care, periodic treatments, and our continuous guidance, we aspire to render acne a chapter of the past.

Personalized Maintenance Plan

At Helix MedSpa, we believe that post-treatment care is just as crucial as the treatment itself. Our commitment to your skin health extends beyond the confines of the treatment room. Our tailored maintenance plan ensures the longevity of your acne-free results, with a strong focus on preventive measures to keep future breakouts at bay:

  • Tailored Skincare with Allumier MD: We recommend a curated regimen of Allumier MD products, each selected based on your skin’s unique needs. Their formulations not only enhance the results of the Lumecca treatment but also address the root causes of acne. By incorporating products like the Purifying Gel Cleanser, Acne Balancing Serum, and Clear Shield Broad Spectrum Sunscreen, you ensure that your skin remains balanced, protected, and breakout-free.

  • Regular Skin Assessments: Periodic skin evaluations at Helix MedSpa help monitor your skin’s progress, allowing us to make necessary adjustments to your skincare routine or recommend additional treatments if needed.

  • Dietary Considerations: Diet plays a role in skin health. We might suggest dietary adjustments or supplements, such as PRN Omega-3, which has been shown to support overall skin health.

  • Stress Management Techniques: Stress can trigger acne breakouts. We provide guidance on stress-relieving techniques and lifestyle habits that can contribute to a clearer complexion.

  • Sun Protection: Daily sun protection is non-negotiable. Regular use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, like the Allumier MD Clear Shield Broad Spectrum Sunscreen, prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can result from acne lesions.

  • Ongoing Treatments: For some individuals, maintenance Lumecca sessions might be advised, especially if they experience hormonal fluctuations or other triggers that could lead to recurrent breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Acne is primarily caused by the overproduction of oil, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Various factors, including hormones, genetics, diet, and stress, can influence its development.

Yes. Acne can manifest as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts, each varying in appearance and severity.

Some studies suggest a link between diet and acne, particularly foods high in dairy and glycemic index. However, it’s essential to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional about any dietary concerns.

Acne commonly starts during puberty but can affect individuals of all ages, from infants to adults.

Yes, especially if you’re using products that clog pores. Always opt for non-comedogenic products and ensure you remove makeup thoroughly each night.

Lumecca uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target and reduce the bacteria responsible for acne, diminishing the inflammation and redness associated with breakouts.

Most patients find the Lumecca treatment comfortable. You might feel a light snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band, but this is generally well-tolerated.

The number of sessions depends on the severity of your acne. Typically, patients benefit from 4 treatments, but this can vary.

Post-treatment, you might experience some redness and warmth, similar to mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours. It’s essential to protect the skin from the sun and follow the post-care regimen provided.

Allumier MD products are formulated with medical-grade ingredients that effectively target the root causes of acne. Their product range addresses not just the symptoms but also the underlying issues, enhancing and prolonging the results of the Lumecca treatment.

PRN Omega-3 supplements support overall skin health. They have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the inflammation associated with acne.

Regular skin assessments at Helix MedSpa ensure that your skin continues to improve. Typically, a follow-up every 3-6 months is recommended, but this can vary based on individual needs.

While the Lumecca treatment and aftercare regimen significantly reduce acne, hormonal fluctuations, lifestyle, and other factors can lead to occasional breakouts. Regular maintenance and adherence to the skincare routine can keep these to a minimum.
