Acne is a common problem that can manifest itself in different forms. This condition occurs when the pores of the face become clogged with dead skin cells and sebum, which is why proper exfoliation helps prevent it. When acne is not treated quickly, it can leave scars that are difficult to treat. During your first consultation or skin evaluation, certain actions you can take to prevent the exacerbation of this condition will be recommended. It is possible that a medical prescription for either oral or topical medication will be given to you, depending on the severity of your condition. The experts at the DGB Clinic will guide you towards the most effective treatment for your individual situation, in addition to being available to answer questions related to your daily skin care routine.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels have been used since the time of ancient Egypt to give glowing skin. Although application techniques and product concentrations have changed, the essence of the treatment remains the same; the pH of the skin is lowered to break the bonds between the cells in the outermost layers of the skin to reveal radiant, glowing skin. These treatments are performed using different acids with special properties. In fact, there is a treatment designed to improve skin texture and diminish the appearance of superficial acne scars. Chemical peels can also improve skin firmness, reduce the appearance of fine lines and dilated pores. In terms of radiance, this treatment offers a decrease in hyperpigmentation and rosacea as well as a glowing effect. The treatment lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The results are visible as of the following week. A treatment protocol may be recommended. The treatment interval varies according to the individual and the results desired, ranging from 2 to 16 weeks.

This technology treats pigment spots caused by sun exposure and aging. It is also possible to improve the appearance of rosacea, couperose and other vascular lesions. The result is an overall healthier and more radiant complexion! A series of treatments (3 to 8) may be recommended, depending on the severity of the pigments to be treated.
