Most of us have stood in front of the mirror with a newly purchased face cream and thought, “This time it’s really going to work!” “This time it just has to work!” But when the pimples pop up again (usually right before an important meeting or a party), thoughts of professional treatments may start to surface.
At Estetikcentrum Malmö, we meet people every week who are tired of experimenting at home and instead want results that actually make a difference. Here, we’ll explain what sets a home treatment apart from one at a clinic, so you can more easily find the best acne treatment for you.
Acne treatment at home
Taking care of your skin on your own is definitely a good start and something everyone should do—whether you have acne or not. Cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing all play a very important role. However, many products you buy in stores have lower concentrations of active ingredients, precisely to suit a broad audience and reduce the risk of irritation or misuse.
This, in turn, means they are often milder, take longer to show results, aren’t tailored to your specific skin type, and are difficult to combine correctly. If you mix different creams incorrectly, irritation or worse skin problems can occur.
But do at-home treatments work? Yes, but it’s important to use professional-grade products that deliver great results. Treatments at a clinic can serve as a complement, giving you that extra boost needed to rebuild and strengthen your skin. However, it’s just as important to take care of your skin at home on a daily basis.
Professional treatments that really make a difference
When you visit us at Estetikcentrum assisted by experienced skin therapists who will analyze your skin and recommend the right treatment right away. We use professional products and exfoliants that work deep down, and our customers report fantastic results. Among other options, you can try our Mask Peel facial treatment, which is designed for acne-prone and oily skin, or the Mela Peel, which is suitable for acne and pigmentation spots.
Mask Peel – How It Works
Mask Peel is an effective treatment designed for those with oily and acne-prone skin. It reduces inflammation and redness while deeply cleansing the skin and allowing it to recover. We typically recommend a course of four treatments, spaced two weeks apart, for best results. This includes a deep cleanse, a so-called pre-peel, an active peel, and finishing products that nourish and repair the skin.
Mela Peel 3 – For post-acne hyperpigmentation
This powerful peel reduces pigmentation spots on the face, a common occurrence after acne breakouts. It works deep into the skin and may cause visible peeling a few days after the treatment. Peeling is a natural part of the process, and when the old skin sheds, new and healthy skin is revealed underneath. Here, too, we recommend the treatment as a course of 1–3 sessions. This includes a facial cleansing, a customized peel, and a soothing finish.
What do we think?
Both professional and at-home treatments are great options when you want to get rid of acne. So you don’t have to choose one or the other. A good at-home routine combined with treatments here at Estetikcentrum often Estetikcentrum the best results. This way, you’ll have a skincare routine that’s fast, safe, and sustainable in the long run. We recommend focusing on daily skincare and protection at home, while using more targeted treatments with the help of our experts. This way, together we can create the best conditions for your skin.
