The Best Timeline for Pre-Wedding Acne Skin Treatments

How Long Does Acne Skin Treatment Take?

For optimal results, we recommend that a client begin treatment at least 6 months before the event.

This may sound a long time however the surface of your skin is constantly being replaced by new skin. When we treat the root cause of acne, this promotes healthier skin deep down. It takes many weeks for this new, clearer skin to reach the surface and fully replace the problem skin. 

Causes of Breakouts

The challenge with acne-prone skin is finding the root cause of breakouts. There are six causes of breakouts, which are:

1) hormones

2) gut health

3) excess oil

4) excess skin cells

5) bacteria

6) food intolerance or allergies.

In the clinic, we treat all six causes of breakouts, including blood analysis for intolerances & allergies at the same time. In our experience, through scanning clients’ skin, we find that breakouts are not caused by ‘dirty’ skin covered with excess oil and/or bacteria. The main cause of breakouts is generally an internal hormonal or gut bacterial imbalance, which no skincare can reach or treat.

Treatment of Acne Breakouts

For the fastest and long-term clearance of breakouts, we would naturally treat all 6 causes simultaneously. However, if we are working with a budget, we would always start off with our internal skin supplements. These would help balance hormones and promote gut health, clearing skin from within. We can also recommend cosmeceutical skincare, medical prescription skincare & various skin treatments such as laser acne treatments, peels, hydrafacials, acne scarring laser treatment, Dermalux LED Red Light Therapy, etc. It just depends on each client on where they would like to start, their budget and how quickly they would like to see results.

Many doctors prescribed antibiotics to clear acne or topically applied antibiotic creams. We regularly hear from our clients that these generally haven’t worked. This is because the bacteria are not causing the breakouts. Antibiotics do not balance hormones, which is often the root cause; they just kill all bacteria. This includes the good, friendly bacteria in the gut that are essential for immunity, serotonin production and well-being. Caution should be exercised when taking any antibiotics (even short-term), as they can also worsen skin in the long term. Antibiotics can affect your own natural immune system throughout the body. They can even cause thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast. It’s been well documented that you need a healthy gut Microbiome for healthy skin (Healthy Gut = Healthy Skin).

Treatment Process

During our skin consultations, we scan the skin to determine whether it’s excess oil, bacteria, hormones, or a combination of any of them.  Hormonal imbalances are more commonly seen in adults than you would imagine. To start your skin transformation and to have your skin scanned, contact the clinic on 0121 250 8482 or book your initial skin consultation on the link here

The £25 booking fee is redeemable against any treatment or products. Your 24 skin consultation images are also emailed to you for your records. We recommend you rebook your 1st review about 10-12 weeks after your initial consultation. This will help us let you know the next steps. As your skin clears, your regimen will also be tweaked to ensure you maintain clearer skin and save you some money.

If you have a special occasion such as a wedding, holiday, or birthday, we recommend starting at least 6 months before the event. 

This is to get the best optimum results, as we can’t treat dead skin or speed up cellular changes. The skin is the body’s largest organ, yet it’s the last organ to receive any nutrition, as it’s not essential for life. This is why we always recommend our high-quality skin supplements in combination with any skincare or skin treatments for optimum results. It’s well documented that our food supply is not as nutritious as it once was. They used to recommend five servings of vegetables and fruit a day. However, more recent statistics recommend a minimum of 10 to 15 portions of vegetables and fruits a day.
