There are several ways to address acne on the back. The treatment depends on the severity of the acne. Treatments such as medical peels or derma pen can treat acne and/or acne scars on the back.

We advise you to start with peels when you suffer from active inflammation. Think of a medical peel, TCA peel or bio peel. Depending on the severity of the acne, the practitioner will choose the right peel to target the indication. The peeling causes accelerated skin exfoliation, allowing sebum to exit quickly and preventing inflammation. In addition, the peel penetrates deep into the skin, where it dissolves sebum.

• Avoid sun and tanning beds for four weeks before treatment.
• Stop using an exfoliant, retinol (vitamin A cream), hormone ointment, and hydroquinone three to seven days before treatment.
• Avoid other treatments two to four weeks before treatment, such as strong chemical peels, micro-needling and CO2 laser.
• In case of symptoms such as fever or flu, you will not be treated.
• The treatment cannot be performed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Peeling:

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. After that, the peel suitable for your skin is applied. You might feel stinging and warmth while the chemical solution is on your skin. Depending on the strength of the peeling, this sensation may vary. After a few minutes, a neutralizing solution will be applied, and the peel will be washed off your skin. A soothing mask is used to calm the skin.

Dermapen:

Before the treatment, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the skin. After your skin is cleansed, we apply a serum that suits your skin and start with the procedure. You may experience discomfort during the treatment.

Peeling:

De huid wordt grondig gereinigd en ontsmet. Onzuiverheden worden manueel verwijderd. Op basis van het besproken behandeldoel, wordt er door je behandelaar een peeling geselecteerd gericht op de behandelindicatie. De huid wordt grondig gereinigd en ontsmet. Vervolgens wordt de peeling aangebracht. De peeling kan warm en tintelend aanvoelen op de huid. Afhankelijk van de sterkte van de peeling kan dit gevoel variëren. Na enkele minuten is de peeling uitgewerkt en wordt de huid geneutraliseerd. Er wordt een kalmerend masker aangebracht, om de huid tot rust te laten komen. De behandeling wordt afgesloten met een het herstellende crème en SPF 50.

Dermapen 4:

Voor de behandeling reinigen en ontsmetten wij de huid grondig. Nadat je huid gereinigd is, brengen we een serum aan, gericht op de behandelindicatie. Dit zorgt ervoor dat we zachtjes over de huid kunnen glijden tijdens de behandeling. Tevens komt het serum in de juiste huidlaag terecht, door de kanaaltjes die we maken met de Dermapen 4. Vervolgens begint je behandelaar met de Dermapen behandeling. De Dermapen maakt op een hoge snelheid verticaal honderden micro-gaatjes per seconden. Door deze micro-gaatjes wordt het natuurlijke herstel/wondgenezingsproces in de huid geactiveerd, wat zorgt tot de aanzet van nieuw collageen en elastine in de huid.

Immediately after treatment, the skin is red, and swelling may occur. The skin may also feel tight. Redness usually disappears within 24-72 hours. Healing is accompanied by light scaling and scabs. However, this varies from skin to skin. The skin recovers within 5-14 days.

• For the first 24 hours after treatment, do not do anything to the skin, and do not wash or apply cream unless otherwise advised.
• For the first 48 hours, you should avoid heat sources such as saunas, swimming pools and intense exercise.
• Do not use scrubs and peels for the first two weeks after treatment.
• For the first three to seven days, do not use intensive, exfoliating products with acids, such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid; do not use retinol and hydroquinone.
• You should not scratch/pull at the scabs and/or peels.
• After treatment, it is essential to care for the skin with a restorative cream, such as Alhydran, to promote healing and allow the skin to heal more beautifully. Alhydran can be applied two to three times daily and can be purchased at the clinic.
• During the treatment process, it is important to avoid direct sunlight on the skin and tanning beds. It is essential to use daily sun protection with at least SPF50.
