Acne Treatment

This treatment tackles active acne and the factors behind it — excess oil, blocked pores and acne bacteria — through deep pore cleansing, bacterial reduction and soothing of redness and inflammation. By calming breakouts and preventing scarring and post-acne pigmentation, it improves both clear-up and skin quality. At GH Solutions acne treatment suits teenagers and adults and is built into a personalised plan.

Acne develops when pores become blocked with oil and dead skin, the acne bacterium (Cutibacterium acnes) multiplies, and the surrounding skin becomes inflamed and red. Left untreated, repeated breakouts can leave scarring and dark post-inflammatory marks. The acne treatment at GH Solutions addresses several of these drivers at once: deep cleansing to clear pores and excess oil, measures to reduce the bacterial load, and soothing of redness and inflammation to calm the skin. By controlling active breakouts and the inflammation behind them, it also helps prevent the scarring and pigmentation that acne can leave. Delivered in the Blue House clinic at Spa Resort Sanssouci, the treatment is suitable for both teenagers and adults, who often have different acne patterns. A session begins with a skin assessment and thorough cleansing, followed by the in-clinic steps appropriate to your skin and the use of professional Medik8 cosmeceuticals, which are also available for home care to support results between visits. A session typically lasts sixty to ninety minutes. Because acne is a chronic, recurring condition, a course of treatments combined with a consistent home routine usually gives the best and most durable results; the plan is reviewed and adjusted as the skin responds. There is little to no downtime, though the skin may be slightly pink immediately afterwards. Diligent sun protection and a non-comedogenic skincare routine support the outcome. Contraindications and cautions — such as very inflamed or infected skin, isotretinoin use and pregnancy for certain active ingredients — are screened at consultation.
