Acne in its most basic form is a disorder of the hair follicle or pore and is classified as a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. It is the most common skin disorder in the country today - suffered not only by teenagers but also by adults throughout their lives.

Acne is characterized by the presence of pimples (zits), blackheads and whiteheads. The majority of people are affected on the face, neck, chest, back and/or upper arms. Acne can vary in development from very mild to extremely severe (cystic).

Acne occurs when oil and dead skin cells become trapped within the hair follicle, creating a plug within the pore. This plug of dead cells and oil is called a comedo. Blackheads and whiteheads are examples of non-inflamed comedones. As the breakout progresses and bacteria invade, the follicle wall may rupture within the dermis, creating inflammation and redness. Inflamed blemishes vary in severity depending on the damage to the follicle wall and the amount of infection present.

Enter DermaFrac™ - the only system to completely infuse fast-acting, effective ingredients deep into the dermis. Combine the topical treatment with a light crystal-free microdermabrasion prior to the DermaFrac™ treatment for best results. Exfoliation via microdermabrasion helps to keep the skin soft and revitalized by removing the dead skin particles and increasing vascularity at the surface. Finalize your treatment by using the Blue LED to kill the bacteria that cause acne breakouts and normalize the shedding of dead skin cells within the follicle.

DermaFrac™ Acne Solution features two key active ingredients:

Salicylic Acid - This natural plant derivative is most commonly used in anti-acne treatments and works by exfoliating the outer layer of the epidermis, opening clogged pores and neutralizing bacteria within the pores. By helping keep the pores clear of all cellular debris, it reduces the number of pore blockages and breakouts on the skin.

Lactic Acid - Part of the alpha hydroxy family, this ingredient is derived from sour or fermented milk. It is also produced naturally by the body in muscle tissue and red blood cells. Lactic Acid works by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin and increasing collagen production, resulting in diminished fine lines and wrinkles. The acid loosens the bonds that hold the dead skin together and exfoliation reduces the formation of whiteheads and blackheads.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical and chemical-free solution to younger looking skin.

Microdermabrasion is a unique procedure that uses a hand-held device to propel a fine spray of mineral crystals against the skin.

The crystals gently and evenly, remove any dead and damaged skin cells as well as dirt. The debris is vacuumed away, leaving the skin completely clean.

The procedure stimulates blood flow and collagen production to the treated skin, allowing for a smoother, healthier appearance.

In addition, the increased blood flow helps the body carry away toxins and impurities that are stored near the surface of the skin.

The combination of exfoliation and increased blood flow leaves you with healthier; clearer and more youthful-looking skin.
