Explore the Causes of Adult Acne

You might expect to experience acne during your teen years, but as an adult, blemishes and breakouts can be particularly frustrating. The same treatments that work for teens don’t usually work for adult skin. In fact, some acne treatments designed for teenagers can be damaging for adults. There are a number of different things that can cause adult acne. Identifying your trigger is important so you can devise an effective treatment plan. For adults, laser skin treatments that are often used to reverse the signs of aging can also be helpful in resolving acne. If you’re living with adult acne, here are some of the causes that could be behind it:

Hormone Fluctuations
Hormone fluctuations can lead to adult acne, especially in women. Women may experience acne right before their periods, during pregnancy, and as they start or stop birth control pills. Some women get acne for the first time in their lives when they enter menopause. Certain birth control pills can help women dealing with hormone-related acne, so discuss your symptoms with your doctor.

Stress
Stress and acne are closely tied together. When you’re under chronic stress, your body produces extra androgen hormones, which stimulate oil production and lead to clogged pores. You may also be less likely to care for yourself well when you’re under stress, which can exacerbate skin problems.

Skin Products
Sometimes, simply using the wrong products on your skin can lead to acne. Make sure that everything you put on your skin, including your hair care products, says that they are non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic, or that they won’t clog pores. Opt for oil-free products. Switching products may be enough to ease your acne.

If you’re living with adult acne, help is available at Chic Esthetiq Med Spa & Laser. Our laser acne treatments can address your breakouts, and our facials can help you deal with scarring. We also provide Botox, Juvederm, and laser hair removal.

Is Vascular Treatment Right For You?

Varicose and spider veins are uncomfortable and unattractive, which might make you feel self-conscious. Usually appearing on the legs or the face, these damaged veins are often red, blue, or purple, and are, unfortunately, very noticeable. Keep reading to find out if vascular treatment can help you conquer these veins and gain more confidence in your appearance:

Quick and Simple Laser Treatments
Technology has made it easier than ever to get the vein treatment you need. Today you can go to the med spa and receive a laser treatment that instantly targets the problem area without impacting the areas around it. Most people see the results they want after only one or two laser treatments. Each treatment only lasts about 10 or 20 minutes, which means you can find a solution for your vein issues without disrupting your life.

Effective Treatments with Real Results
In the last two decades, simple laser vein treatments have become more effective than ever before. Targeting the damaged vein with the laser encourages it to close, which means blood can no longer flow through it. Once the vein closes, your varicose and spider veins will disappear.

Minimal Downtime After Treatment
Most people who receive vascular treatment are able to walk around as soon as it is over. You should have no trouble returning to your normal routines as soon as your treatment is complete and you should start noticing results almost immediately. If you do experience redness or swelling, it will most likely disappear in a day.

If you are ready to get rid of those annoying veins, Chic Esthetiq Med Spa can help. Our vascular treatment targets the damaged vein to reduce their appearance and return the skin that you remember. For more information on these and other treatments like Juvederm, laser hair removal, or Botox, visit us online or call (713) 909-3088.

Offering a Revolutionary Way to Manage Scars

Embrace^® Advanced Scar Therapy is the first scar management product of its kind. Its patented Active Stress-Shield technology may improve the appearance of scars after surgical procedures, such as a breast augmentation or tummy tuck. Scars are significantly less perceptible when embrace^® Advanced Scar Therapy is used after surgery.

Scar Formation — The Skin’s Natural Healing Process

Surgery such as an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) results in a scar. The skin’s natural healing process creates tension that causes a scar and scar tissue to form. The scar’s severity depends on the wound’s depth and the amount of scar tissue formed while it heals.

Relieving the tension created during the healing process assists in managing the formation of scars for patients who undergo surgery.

If you’re considering plastic surgery in Pearland, such as a tummy tuck or breast lift, and are worried about scars, be sure your plastic surgeon offers Embrace^® Advanced Scar Therapy.

All tummy tuck patients of Dr. Kratschmer receive a free Embrace Scar Therapy kit with their procedure.  To schedule a consultation with Dr. Kratschmer in Pearland, call us at 281-317-8179.
