Launching…Our Acne Transformation Program
It’s Acne Awareness Month and what a better way to shed light on one of most common skin conditions affecting millions of individuals worldwide.
What is acne?
Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder that can affect both men and women of all ages. It occurs when hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells, oil and acne causing bacteria. Acne can be found on the face, neck, shoulders, chest and back and differs in severity from grade 1-4.
A recent study by Cutera (2024) identified the following data:
90% of individuals suffering with acne reported experiencing daily insecurities related to their acne.
43% of acne sufferers reported feelings of never being able to achieve clear skin.
6 in 10 individuals reported that the struggle in treating acne can be worse than the acne itself.
What are the different types of acne lesions?
Blackheads - black dots commonly found in the T zone and occur when the oil in your pores oxidises.
Whiteheads - white dots with a ‘head’, common in an oily skin type and usually caused by a blocked hair follicle
Papules - red bumps caused by excess oil or dead skin cells integrate with bacteria, blocking the pore.
Pustules - very similar to a whitehead, identified with a pus-filled bubble on top and often people want to squeeze these
Cysts - large, red and pus-filled breakouts deep within the skin. Often very painful and caused by a pore that has become blocked and infected.
Nodules - found deep under the skin, they are solid, large and painful lumps. They rarely have a white head or blackhead and can last weeks or months to self resolve.
What are some of the triggers of acne?
A common misconception about acne is that its caused by dirty skin. This is completely a myth and rather is a combination of factors including a hormone imbalance, genetics, diet, lifestyle choices and stress levels.
What can I do to treat my acne?
Good question! Acne is commonly seen at our Sydney based clinic and we are well experienced in achieving clear skin results. We understand the detrimental effects acne can have on an individuals confidence and hence why we are formally launching our Acne Transformation Program.
Our Acne Transformation Program has been specially curated for those who are ready to finally take control of their acne. It begins with an in depth consultation with our skin expert Nurse Eda who will spend thirty minutes taking a detailed history including medical conditions, allergies, current medications/supplements, dietary intake, potential external triggers, previous skin treatments and current skin care regime. During this appointment, Nurse Eda will also take baseline photos for your portfolio, identify achievable skin goals, curate a tailored treatment plan and book future appointments.
We are firm believers that eighty percent of the work put into achieving your dream skin is done at home and have partnered with Lira Clinical to effectively treat the root cause of acne. Lira Clinical is a global leader in corrective skin care and have a range called Lira ICE that has been specifically formulated with acne sufferers in mind.
Not based in Sydney?
Not to worry! We are also launching our Virtual Skin Consultation for new and existing clientele who don’t reside in Sydney or find it hard to travel to The Luxe Nurse Clinic. Upon booking a virtual appointment, our Clinic Coordinator will email a Zoom meeting link to you and Nurse Eda will spend thirty minutes taking a detailed history including medical conditions, allergies, current medication/supplements, dietary intake, potential external triggers, previous skin treatments and current skin care regime. During this appointment, Nurse Eda will also identify achievable skin goals, guide you on how to take clear photos for bi-weekly check ins and curate a tailored at home treatment plan. Nurse Eda will also educate you on how to best apply products and email instructions to help guide you at home.
