WHAT IS EXFOLIATION...

When treating acne in Butte County, you can expect your skin to be dry and flaky. Clearing acne typically requires mass exfoliation. So, regardless of the type of acne treatment, if it's effective - you're going to have to exfoliate.

An exfoliator removes dead surface cells from the skin. Most people tend to think of an exfoliator as a scrub. While this is true, there are many types of exfoliators and exfoliating techniques. Enzymes, scrubs, crystals and chemical peels, are types of exfoliators. Ultrasonic cleansing, microdermabrasion, microplaning, certain lights and lasers are devices designed to exfoliate. Cleansers, toners, serums and moisturizers can be considered exfoliators if they are formulated with exfoliating ingredients such as hydroxy acids. Even shaving removes dead skin!

Clearing your complexion relies heavily on using the correct type, concentration and combination of exfoliators. How do you figure it out? Seek the help of an Acne Specialist!

IF YOU MUST PICK THE ZIT...

ACNE EXTRACTIONS IN CHICO at
916SKIN ACNE CLINIC.

If you can't stop yourself from picking at your zits, use Q-tips, or at the very least, wrap your fingers in tissue.

No matter how well you wash your hands, the bacteria that live under your fingernails aren't going anywhere. Picking at your skin, not only has the potential to cause acne scars, but can lead to inflamed pimples. Picking at pimples, even with gentle pressure, can create micro tears in the skin where bacteria find there way into the pore. Once they're in, and the conditions are right, inflammation ensues, which can lead to acne scarring and dark marks on the skin.

Going to an acne specialist ensures your impactions, pimples, zits, blackheads, whiteheads are extracted properly without causing further damage to the tissue.

DO RETINOIDS GET RID OF PIMPLES...

NO TO ACNE MEDICATION CHICO   

Tazorac by Allergan is the brand name for tazarotene, an acne medication commonly prescribed by dermatologists in the treatment of acne. It is a topical form of vitamin A, also know as a retinoid, available in 0.05 or 0.1 percent as a cream or gel.

Retinoids increase the growth of skin cells, and can be beneficial in acne products as well as anti-aging products due to their ability to cause shedding of the skin.

Prescription retinoids are irritating to the skin, and often set acne patients back, partly due to their ability to irritate and over-dry the skin. While some retinoids can be helpful in clearing pimples,  it alone will not clear your acne. The most effective skin treatment is a combination of active ingredients specifically selected for your skin type and grade of your acne.

916SKIN ACNE TREATMENT REVIEW...

"I am so thankful for 916SKIN Acne Clinic in Chico. Acne runs in my family, so I started going to Tatja in August of 2015 after I heard rave acne reviews from my sister. Tatja chooses the best products for your acne type and skin type, which works wonders. I started seeing amazing results after about 2 months. It's crazy to see how bad my acne was before, and how it is basically non-existent now. Going to 916SKIN has given me a huge boost in confidence, to the point where I haven't worn makeup since Halloween 2015! I used to not even leave the house without putting on makeup because I was so embarrassed about my skin. I tried a variety of different acne remedies, and none of them worked. I am so glad that I started seeing Tatja when I did. It has made me an all around happier person. Thank you so much, Tatja!"

SUGAR SCRUB FOR ACNE...

Sugar is for COOKIES not for ACNE in Chico, Ca!!!

Sugar scrubs are way too abrasive for the skin. There are much better options for clearing up your acne. Even professional scrubs are often too harsh. If your Acne Specialist says you are a good candidate for a scrub, choose the one they recommend.

Scrubs don't benefit everyone with acne, and often times, cause more setbacks than progress. An Acne Specialist will evaluate your acne and recommend products that are specifically suited for your specific skin type and breakout type.
