SHINE
Shine starts at the source
Troubled, oily, or acne-prone skin requires more than just fighting pimples. Within SHINE I focus on reducing inflammation, preventing new skin irritation, and treating residual symptoms. Depending on your skin, deep cleansing, medical peels, IPL, microneedling, and targeted skincare may be part of the treatment plan.
Acne and troubled or oily skin
Acne arises from an interplay of factors including sebum production, blockage of the hair follicle, inflammatory processes, and bacteria. Hormones can play a significant role in this.
The treatment may consist of deep cleansing, medical peels, IPL, and targeted skincare. Which combination is suitable depends on the type of acne and the condition and sensitivity of your skin.
Acne scars and residual effects
After acne, red or brown spots may remain, but also actual scars, such as small pits or deeper depressions. These are different skin problems that do not automatically require the same treatment.
For suitable acne scars, for example, microneedling, TCA, or the fractional ResurFX laser can be used. For certain red or brown residual spots, IPL or a pigment laser may be an option.
Which treatment is effective depends on exactly what remains in the skin, the skin type, and the possible presence of active acne.

Ingrown hairs and inflamed hair follicles
Ingrown hairs and inflamed hair follicles can also repeatedly cause skin irritation. Examples include folliculitis and pseudofolliculitis barbae. When hair is the recurring trigger, hair reduction with IPL can be part of the treatment.
