Acne
Acne is one of the most common skin
problems we see at MAHC. Often kicking off in the teenage years when hormones
are running wild, acne is the result of increased oil production, dead skin
cells, and bacterial build up, all of which work to block pores and lead to blackheads,
whiteheads, pimples and cysts. But it isn’t solely a teenage problem; some
studies have shown that up to 20% of people suffer from acne during their adult
life too.
Painful and unsightly, the physical effects
of acne are well known. Most of us have fretted over an angry red lump,
inflamed pustule or a swathe of unattractive blackheads. If we’re lucky, they
subside quickly, and our complexion returns to normal. But what if they don’t
go away?
As well as the physical effects of acne,
long-term sufferers are susceptible to the psychological impacts of this
troubling skin condition. Depression, poor self-esteem, social anxiety, and
even suicidal thoughts are among the psychological effects experienced by
long-term acne sufferers. Even after the condition itself has subsided,
sufferers can be left with serious scarring.
Treatment
At MAHC, we take the treatment of acne
seriously. We work with clients to assess their skin and formulate a treatment
plan to suit the client’s skin type and condition, age, lifestyle, and budget.
Treatment will vary for each client but can include:
- Chemicalpeeling treatments
- LaserGenesis Skin Therapy
- MAHCSignature Luminescence Treatment
- An effectivehomecare routine
Tips
Aside from visiting us here at MAHC, what
else can you do to help your skin cope with blackheads and blemishes?
Don’t pick!
Yes, your mother was right—picking a
blemish does make it worse! Aside
from placing further stress on the skin, squeezing a spot can push bacteria
further into the skin, increasing the chance of more breakouts.
Stay hydrated
It’s a common misconception that
moisturisers aggravate acne-prone skin. On the contrary, poor hydration can actually
make acne worse. Moisturiser is very important for acne-prone skin—just make
sure it’s the right type.
How
can we help you?
Acne is certainly a challenging skin
condition but it doesn’t need to be a life sentence. If you suffer from acne,
the team at MAHC would love to help you take control and restore your skin to health.

Do you have any of these?
Freckles, sunspots, dark patches, melasma… If you can identify with
any of these, you are one of the many people who suffer from hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation is caused by an overproduction of melanin—or
pigment—in the epidermis, causing areas of darkened skin that create a patchy,
uneven complexion. In many cases, these patches are small and unobtrusive—as
with freckles—but sometimes, hyperpigmentation can produce large, noticeable
areas of discolouration or contribute to a prematurely aged appearance.
What causes
hyperpigmentation?
Overproduction of melanin can be induced by:
·
Ultraviolet radiation exposure
– Such as spending time in the sun.
·
Hormonal changes – Such as
those occurring during pregnancy or caused by contraceptive pills.
·
Skin trauma – Such as wounds,
surgical scars or picking blemishes.
Evening things out
The good news is that hyperpigmentation can be removed or
significantly reduced using a variety of techniques. However, even though
initial treatments may appear to dispel the condition, recurrence is common and
a long-term treatment plan is the most effective approach.
Treatment for hyperpigmentation can include:
·
IPL
·
Superficial to medium-depth
chemical peeling treatments
·
Skin needling
·
The MAHC Signature Luminescence
Treatment
The importance of homecare
As well as in-clinic procedures, a tailored homecare routine is a
vital part of long-term hyperpigmentation treatment plans. Using products that
contain pigment inhibiting technologies, a homecare routine designed
specifically for hyperpigmented skin acts like a daily dose of medicine,
helping to support the skin between treatments and maintain a smooth, even
complexion.
Sun sense
Sun exposure is a major cause of hyperpigmentation. Reduce your risk
of sun-induced hyperpigmentation by:
·
Going mineral – Sunscreens that contain
mineral compounds zinc oxide and titanium dioxide create a physical barrier on
the skin, reducing the risk of ultraviolet radiation exposure. Like any
sunscreen, don’t forget to use it every day and reapply regularly.
·
Wearing sunglasses – Certain filters in
the human eye can stimulate pigment production, so use adequately tinted
sunglasses to protect your eyes from excess sunlight.
·
Checking your medication – Some
medications—even the commonly used ibuprofen—attract sunlight to the skin and cause
an increase in pigment production. Read the fine print on your medications and
take precautions to avoid too much sun exposure.
20% off pigment blockers
If you’ve been concerned about a patchy complexion, now is the time
to even things out. Melbourne Aesthetic Health Care is offering 20% off the
price of pigment blockers during June to start you on the road to a smoother
complexion.
Give us a call or send us a message and we’ll be glad to help you
establish a personalised treatment plan suitable to your needs.
Special offer
IPL is one of the most effective tools for treating
hyperpigmentation. Using light energy, IPL selectively targets melanin
chromophores in the skin, converting the light to heat and eliminating the
excess pigment.
This month, if you book three IPL sessions with Melbourne Aesthetic
Health Care, we’ll give you an extra session free of charge. There’s no need to
pay up front to take advantage of this offer, just give us a call and make a
booking!

What’s hiding in your
makeup case?
Sometimes it can seem like you are doing all the right things for
your skin—eating well, staying out of the sun, applying quality skincare
products—yet your skin looks far from its best. Breakouts, redness, itching:
you’re at your wits’ end! You don’t know what else to do.
Could your makeup be the culprit?
Makeup matters
People spend a lot of time and money on sophisticated skincare
products and treatments but often don’t realise that their makeup plays an
equally important role in their skin’s health.
When faced with rows of pretty colours, heady fragrances and sensual
packaging, reading the ingredients list on a bottle of foundation or a powder
compact can be the last thing on your mind. But knowing what’s in your makeup
can make a huge difference to the quality of your skin. Many cosmetic brands
regularly use ingredients such as talc, fragrances and colours that can aggravate
conditions like rosacea and acne, or even create new problems.
Saving face
Keep your skin smooth and clear with these makeup tips:
·
Read the fine print – Check the
ingredients list before purchasing products and avoid makeup that includes
fragrances, parabens, binders or synthetic dyes.
·
Keep it clean – You’re only as good as
your tools: opt for naturally fibred makeup brushes and remember to clean
regularly with warm water and a mild shampoo.
·
Say goodbye – Makeup isn’t meant to last
forever. Conduct a regular makeup stocktake and discard any products that have
changed colour, consistency or smell.

Melbourne Aesthetic Health Care, you’ll receive 20% off the purchase price.
It’s the perfect excuse to clean out that makeup case and give your skin a
little pre-winter treat.

wonderful women that fed us, dressed us, cut our crusts off and checked under
the bed for monsters. If you’re searching for something beyond flowers and
chocolates to celebrate your mum this Mother’s Day, a Melbourne Aesthetic
Health Care voucher is just the thing.
