Acne is a common and frustrating skin condition that can affect people of all ages. This persistent skin issue can be difficult to manage, especially when you aren’t sure exactly what is causing the acne and how to best treat it. But if you’re on the hunt for the best treatment for acne on your face then you’re in the right place.
While many over-the-counter remedies claim to be the best way to treat your acne, we recommend you seek professional treatments that offer a more targeted and effective approach. In this blog, we will discuss the best treatments for face acne that are available at The Salon at Maxy Farm, as well as delve into our at-home skincare routine tips to help manage your symptoms.
Skin Peel Face Treatments
Skin peels treatments have become increasingly popular for acne on the face as they are designed to exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells and promote cell turnover. This is crucial if you have acne as it helps to refresh the skin to reveal the new layer of skin underneath. Skin peels involve applying a chemical solution to the face. The solution will vary in strength based on your individual skin type and how severe your acne is.
There are some common ingredients that you could expect in a skin peel such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). These help to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. We offer tailored skin peel treatments at The Salon at Maxy Farm that cater to your specific skin concerns, such as acne. Skin peels are one of the best treatments for face acne as they address existing blemishes while also working to prevent breakouts by promoting a healthier skin barrier.
Skin Booster Treatments
Skin booster treatments involve injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin to provide deep hydration and a plump and revitalised complexion. While this isn’t a direct acne treatment, skin booster facials, such as those provided here at The Salon at Maxy Farm, can improve overall skin health and texture, making them an effective treatment for acne sufferers.
We offer a range of advanced skin booster treatments that target acne-prone skin, helping to balance moisture levels and enhance the skin’s natural radiance. These treatments make for a great addition to your acne management plan, especially if you’re looking to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Facial Treatment
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) facial treatments involve extracting a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, then injecting it into the face. This is a safe and effective treatment as platelets contain growth factors that stimulate collagen production. As PRP treatments promote tissue regeneration it is an effective option for acne scarring.
At The Salon at Maxy Farm, our medically trained doctors are able to provide personalised advice to address acne-related concerns. By harnessing the body’s natural healing processes, this treatment can contribute to smoother, more even-toned skin, reducing the visible effects of acne. This treatment is also very popular as a standalone procedure or for those who aren’t suitable for skin boosters or aesthetic dermal fillers.
At home treatment for acne on the face
No matter what kind of acne you have or how severe it is, you need a skincare routine in place at home to give it the care and attention it needs. While treating your skin at home may feel like a minefield when it comes to finding the right products for your skin, there are a few simple steps you should always follow.
Here are some of our top skincare tips for treatment for acne on your face.
Wash your face
This may sound like an obvious piece of advice but washing your face regularly is important if you struggle with acne. However, washing your face every morning is up for debate. Many people don’t recommend cleansing your face with a product first in the morning as it can strip the skin. Instead you may want to swipe a toner pad or rinse your face with water instead.
Regardless of your opinions on washing your face in the morning, it is crucial that you do it at the end of the day. Using a mild cleanser helps to remove excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells that can contribute to acne. Also be sure to thoroughly remove any make up at the end of each day as failing to remove it properly can build up on your skin and exacerbate your acne symptoms.
Don’t forget to moisturise
For those with acne-prone skin, hydration is key. We recommend that you opt for non-comedogenic moisturisers. Non-comedogenic moisturisers refer to products that contain ingredients that don’t block or clog your pores. This means it is a great option for those who have acne. Also watch out for moisturisers with hyaluronic acid which can provide effective moisture without contributing towards acne symptoms.
