ROYAL JELLY PRECAUTIONS FOR ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR BLEMISHES REDDING, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Royal jelly is a substance made by worker-honey bees and fed to developing queen bee larvae. This food is the richest source of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and can be very useful in managing stress, and thus acne, by supporting the adrenal cascade. However, getting clear takes much more than controlling stress.


ROYAL JELLY PRECAUTIONS:
Royal jelly should not be eaten on a daily basis. It is most effective when eaten on a rotational basis or intermittently. Royal jelly interacts with the drug Coumadin, and may increase its blood thinning effects with an increased chance of bruising or bleeding.

916SKIN PROVIDES CUSTOMIZED ACNE THERAPY FOR TEENAGE AND ADULT ACNE. ON AVERAGE, AFTER 3 TO 4 MONTHS OF TREATMENT OUR PATIENTS GET 90 TO 100 PERCENT CLEAR.  CALL THE CLINIC TO SCHEDULE A SKIN CONSULTATION. (530) 680.2027

ACNE TIP FOR MEN...

TREATMENT FOR BLEMISHES CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT  CLINIC

Don't go for the burn!  Give yourself at least 1 hour after shaving before applying your acne products. Acne products that are designed to shed the skin contain active ingredients. These "actives" can burn and cause the skin to turn red when they are applied immediately after shaving.  This is partly due to the shift in pH from an alkaline shaving cream to acidic "actives." Give your skin a chance to adjust by waiting at least 60 minutes after shaving. If it still burns, try waiting 90 minutes next time around.

ACNE IS TREATABLE WHEN YOU HAVE PROPER GUIDANCE. THE 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM PROVIDES THE ASSISTANCE OF AN ACNE SPECIALIST TO GET YOU CLEAR IN APPROXIMATELY 12 TO 16 WEEKS. CONSULTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY CALLING THE CLINIC AT: (530) 680.2027

WHO SHOULD AVOID MICRODERM...

MICRODERMABRASION CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Microdermabrasion is an all time favorite for many, but is it right for you?  Microderm works wonders as a quick pick-me-up for the skin by buffing and sloughing away dead cells - unveiling fresh new velvety smooth skin. However, as an acne treatment it is better utilized in combination with other treatment modalities for non-inflamed acne types.



WHO SHOULD AVOID MICRODERMABRASION:
-People with inflamed acne
-People with broken capillaries or a tendency towards broken capillaries
-People with redness/erythema
-People with thin or thinning skin regardless of age
-People prone to bruising

ALKALIZING SMOOTHIES FOR ACNE...

ACNE FACE TREATMENTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

The long term success of any acne treatment relies on nutrition as much as proper skincare products. Healing the skin demands an alkalizing diet to stop inflammation. Most of the foods we consume in our Standard American Diet (SAD) are acidic. These includes foods like meat, poultry, fish, sugar, dairy, pasta, breads, pastries and most grains. Acid forming foods need to be balanced out with an abundant supply of alkaline forming foods - mostly vegetables and fruits. Grab yourself a pH reference guide to learn which foods provide the most alkalizing benefits as not all fruits and veggies are alkalizing.

ALKALIZING SMOOTHIE:
2 packed cups fresh spinach
Handful of fresh or frozen pineapple
Handful of fresh soybeans
Sliver of lemon with peel
Heaping teaspoon of chia seed
Pinch of Stevia
Pinch of sea salt
Pure almond milk or water
Blend to green perfection!!!

*Give your body an hour to digest before consuming anything else.

THE 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM COMBINES HEALTHY NUTRITION WITH TOPICAL TREATMENT AND HOME CARE. PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR PATIENT TESTIMONIALS AND BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE.

GLYCEMIC INDEX FOR ACNE...

NUTRITION FOR ACNE, CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Help control acne by controlling blood sugar. Although, managing acne relies on many factors, learning to control blood sugar is an important step in getting clear and staying clear.

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of how quickly a specific food raises blood sugar. Consuming foods that are low on the GI can allow us to keep our blood sugar, and thus our acne, under control.

There are many books and pocket guides on the Glycemic Index. The GI was originally developed to help people with diabetes. The GI is gaining world wide recognition, and it has become well known that eating low on the GI has many health benefits, and can help improve cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels, can help prevent weight gain, insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes and certain cancers.

THE 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM INCORPORATES A COMBINATION TOPICAL TREATMENT MODALITIES WITH HEALTHY NUTRITION PLANS. THE CLEARING PROCESS TAKES APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 MONTHS. CONSULTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY CALLING: 530.680.2027

WARMING SOCKS PROCEDURE...

METHODS FOR TREATING ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

WARMING SOCKS: an alternative, yet effective method that increases circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system to help speed recovery from minor illnesses such as colds, flus, soar throats, sinusitis, insomnia and stress-based acne.


WARMING SOCKS PROCEDURE: Get yourself ready for bed and take care of your bedtime rituals. You will need a pair of fitted cotton socks and a pair of thick wool-like socks. Use scissors to cut off the tops of the cotton socks, so that the top portion of your feet are exposed (see picture). Using cold water, wet the cotton socks and gently wring them out (socks should be heavy, damp and cold).

1)  Warm your body, especially your legs and feet by soaking or showering for 5 to 10 minutes. This step is important for the treatment to be effective.

2)  Dry off, keep your body warm and put on the cold damp cotton socks.

3)  Slide the warm thick wool socks on over the damp socks.

4)  Keep your body warm and go straight to bed. Make sure you have enough blankets before starting the treatment.

Your socks will be dry long before you awake. If your body gets over heated during the night, you can remove the socks. A cup of hot ginger tea before bed will also help warm your body. Avoid herbal teas with a cooling effect such as mint teas.

MANAGING ACNE REQUIRES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH, INCLUDING ROUTINE TREATMENT, A PERSONALIZED SKINCARE SYSTEM AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT PROMOTE OPTIMAL WELLNESS. PLEASE CALL THE CLINIC TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION & EVALUATION:   (530) 680.2027

CUT THE DAIRY NOT THE CALCIUM...

DIET TIPS FOR ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Cut the dairy not the calcium. It is well known that dairy exacerbates acne for many of those who suffer from breakouts.

If you are laying off the dairy or eliminating it all together, make sure to get plenty of calcium-rich foods in your diet. Many of the nut and rice milks are fortified with calcium to provide similar key nutrients of those found in dairy.


CALCIUM-RICH FOODS:
watercress
kale
collard greens
bok choy/Chinese cabbage
okra
broccoli
green beans
figs
almonds
sardines

WILL UVB THERAPY TREAT ANE...

TREAT ACNE IN BUTTE COUNTY    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

UVB Therapy is not designed to treat acne. UVB (Ultraviolet B) Therapy is commonly used for psoriasis, a skin condition that causes dead skin cells to rapidly reproduce, forming plaques on the surface of the skin. UVB acts to slow the proliferation of skin cells, and thus the formation of plaques.

While acne is also a skin condition that involves the rapid proliferation of skin cells, it requires an approach that sloughs off the dead cells in order to prevent the formation of acne lesions.

916SKIN- ACNE CLINIC PROVIDES PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLANS FOR SEVERE AND CYSTIC ACNE. PLEASE READ OVER THE PROGRAM BY VISITING THE 916SKIN WEB SITE. CONSULTATIONS WITH AN ACNE SPECIALIST CAN BE MADE BY CALLING THE CLINIC AT:  (530) 680.2027

CONTROL ACNE WITH BLOOD SUGAR...

CONTROL ACNE CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Control your blood sugar. Controlling your blood sugar can help improve your complexion. Cookies, pastries, sodas, juice, granola bars and the like, will send your blood sugar soaring. High blood sugar means more insulin, which can trigger breakouts in those prone to acne.

A 2007 study showed that those who ate foods with a low glycemic load (effect of food on blood sugar) showed an improvement in their complexion compared to those who ate a high carbohydrate diet with no concern for glycemic load. 

YOUR COMPLEXION IS A REFLECTION OF OPTIMAL HEALTH.  THE 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM STRADDLES NUTRITION AND SKIN CARE. THROUGH CUSTOMIZE TREATMENT, YOU TOO CAN HAVE CLEAR SKIN.  CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING: (530) 680.2027

SUGAR DEPELETES MAGNESIUM...

ACNE REMEDIES CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

Sugar depletes magnesium.  A diet high in sugar causes the kidneys to excrete magnesium. Consuming sugar on a regular basis can lead to a magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium slows the skin's aging process by stabilizing DNA and RNA.  Many people eating the Standard American Diet are low in magnesium. With our fast paced life style, we are hooked on convenience, which often doesn't include magnesium-rich foods.

FOODS RICH IN MAGNESIUM:
Spinach, Swiss Chard, Pumpkin Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Brazil Nuts, Almonds, Cashews, Pine Nuts, Mackerel, Soy Beans/Edamame, Quinoa, Brown Rice

ACNE TREATMENT CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE BY CONTACTING THE CLINIC AT (530) 680.2027.  DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT OUR ACNE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE: 916SKIN ACNE CLINIC
