Acne

Reduce the appearance of acne with skin treatments

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages. It is caused by a combination of factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. Acne can appear anywhere on the body, but it is most common on the face, neck, chest, and back.

Acne can have a significant impact on the skin. It can cause inflammation, redness, and scarring. In some cases, acne can be painful and uncomfortable. Acne can also lead to low self-esteem and social anxiety.

Which treatment is right for you?

At Butterfly Aesthetics in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, we offer a range of treatments to help people with acne. We can assess your individual needs and create a treatment plan that is right for you. Our treatments include:

• Obagi peels: Obagi peels are a type of chemical peel that use a combination of glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid to exfoliate and decongest the skin and remove dead skin cells. Obagi peels can help to treat acne by reducing inflammation, improving overall skin tone, deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation and skin resurfacing.
• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): IPL, or intense pulsed light treatment, is a non-invasive procedure that uses light energy to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne. IPL treatment works by targeting the haemoglobin in the blood vessels that supply the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing oil. By targeting these blood vessels, IPL treatment can help to reduce oil production and inflammation.
• ResurFX: ResurFX is a  fractional, non-ablative laser treatment that uses microscopic laser beams to create tiny holes in the skin. These holes stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which results in new, healthy skin tissue. ResurFX can help to treat acne by reducing inflammation, killing bacteria, and improving the skin’s texture.
• WOW Facial:  The WOW Fusion is an innovative device delivering a combination of 3 treatments:- microneedling, mesotherapy and microtoxin. WOW Fusion needling – the small fine needles create trauma to the epidermis/dermis to stimulate the cells and encourage them to grow.   Administration of active ingredients via the device into the skin.  These active ingredients include hyaluronic acid, vitamins and succinic acid which promotes skin rejuvenation and detoxification leading to radiant skin.
