Acne/Scarring Consultation
Acne is a complex problem that can have multiple underlying causes from hormonal imbalances to bacteria on our skin. Acne and associated scarring can significantly impact self-confidence and overall well-being. An in-depth consultation is the first step towards effectively addressing these concerns.
Our goal is to craft a personalised diagnostic and treatment plan that aligns with your aspirations while promoting skin health.
Our expertise involves a wide range of proven treatments, from advanced light therapies to hormone checks, and medical-grade skincare.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
The treatment works with tiny pins that safely deliver energy (via NanoFractional RF™) through the skin’s surface. The pins create tiny micro-dermal wounds, which the body then works to heal naturally. This process is what repairs signs of skin damage seen on the surface of the skin. NFRF treatment safely corrects signs of skin damage, which improves the appearance of scars, visible pores, deep wrinkles, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture.
Medical Grade Skincare
An expertly selected skincare regimen is pivotal in managing acne and enhancing the overall health and appearance of your skin. We will create a tailor made programme for you aligning perfectly with your acne management plan.
We incorporate premium products from the SkinCeuticals and ZO range, which are renowned for their high-quality ingredients and proven efficacy in addressing various skin concerns.
Our aim is to provide you with a comprehensive skincare solution that not only tackles the visible symptoms of acne but also works in harmony with other treatments to foster long-term skin health and beauty.
Hormone Check
Hormones play a pivotal role in skin health, and their imbalance can often manifest as persistent acne. Hormone Blood Tests are instrumental in identifying the underlying hormonal imbalances contributing to acne, enabling a targeted and effective treatment plan.
Some conditions associated with hormonal imbalance that often leads to acne are:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):
A common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, PCOS is characterized by elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) which can lead to severe acne, among other symptoms.
Hyperandrogenism:
This condition is characterized by excessive levels of androgens which can result in acne, hair loss, and hirsutism (excessive hair growth in areas where men typically grow hair).
Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a dual treatment that harnesses the natural healing power of your own blood along with the rejuvenating effects of microneedling.
During this procedure, a blood sample is drawn and spun down to extract the platelet-rich plasma, a component filled with growth factors and nutrients from your own body. This PRP is then reintroduced into your skin via microneedling, a process where tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
The fusion of PRP with microneedling significantly amplifies the treatment’s ability to reduce fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and improve the overall texture of your skin.
As the microneedles penetrate the skin, they create micro-wounds that trigger the body’s healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. Simultaneously, the PRP delivers a concentration of growth factors that further accelerate the healing and rejuvenation process.
Skin Peels
Skin Peels are an effective method of exfoliating the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth. At Olive Health, we offer a variety of skin peels tailored to your specific skin needs.
The ZO Stimulator Peel is gentle on the skin yet delivers profound results, making it ideal for those new to skin peels or with sensitive skin. It helps to smooth away fine lines, improve acne skin conditions and address uneven pigmentation, unveiling a fresher, clearer complexion.
On the other hand, the SkinCeuticals Gel Peels in 20% and 30% formulations offer a more intensive treatment, suitable for those with resilient skin or more pronounced skin concerns. These peels are meticulously formulated to minimize the appearance of surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, aid in clearing acne, and help fade hyperpigmentation.
Skin peels can be exceptionally beneficial when integrated into a broader skin care regimen. They prepare the skin to absorb other topical treatments more effectively and can be a precursor to other aesthetic procedures, amplifying the results of your personalized treatment plan
