Dealing with acne is one of the most pressing beauty issues, and it’s also surprisingly common. Acne usually occurs when excessive oil and dead skin clog up your skin’s pores. It’s also aggravated by external factors like our diet, stress, pollution and hormones.

Women who suffer from PCOS are more likely to see zits pop up on their face (or even the body) due to high levels of male hormones or an imbalance in their hormones.

Sometimes, even the make-up or skincare products we use are comedogenic in nature and clog our pores, leading to this troublesome skin condition. Whiteheads, blackheads, blemishes and zits are all forms of acne.

We are also seeing more and more acne in adults nowadays, and we believe this has strongly got to do with our stressful lifestyles, pollution and the hormone and toxin-laden foods that we eat that.

Acne often leaves behind scars and marks, that can make the skin look bumpy and uneven, or sometimes even red and angry.

Acne FAQs

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of acne, of course, are the pimples and bumps that show up on your skin. Pimples, blackheads and whiteheads that form into pus-filled bumps and red, irritated bumps are often the most noticeable signs of acne.

Often, acne first starts to seem noticeable only to the person dealing with it as a raised bump or bumps under your skin, emerging and coming to head a few days later.

When should you see a doctor for acne?

If your acne is caused due to your menstrual cycle, you need not see a dermatologist immediately. Also, if you notice acne cropping up due to a change in the weather conditions (the onset of summer or monsoon), a few changes in your skincare routine can sort you out.

However, if you notice persistent acne, and the kind that is painful and leaving scars with no known external factor affecting your skin, it’s time you see a dermatologist.

In any case, if you’re someone who is bothered by even a couple of random acne spots, you can always book a consultation with us at Isya and we can help you understand what’s causing it and how you can treat it.

Acne & Pregnancy

The good news is that pregnancy acne is the same type as regular acne. The bad news is, well, it’s still acne. Pregnancy comes with its own ups and downs and the fact that pregnancy acne is a thing doesn’t make matters easier.

Myths related to acne

As is the case with most things in life, a lot of people like to self-diagnose and make assumptions about a health condition without any concrete proof.

These false statements take their own life in their circles and turn into myths that people believe without doing their own research. Some of the most common myths about acne are:

Myth: You don’t need to hydrate your skin if you have acne

While skin dealing with acne is actively producing more oil than normal, it is also dehydrated. Your skin still needs hydration using a lightweight moisturiser that is also non-comedogenic.

Myth: You can’t suffer from acne as an adult

While acne is a more common concern in your teenage years, it can very well follow you into adulthood or even occur in your 30s for the first time due to hormonal changes.

Myth: Washing your face too many times reduces acne

Overwashing your face in the hopes of reducing your acne can further dry it out, worsening the situation. Stick to washing your face twice a day and using lightweight, anti-acne products over the course of the day.

Myth: Popping your pimples will reduce acne from occurring

As tempting as it may be to burst a pimple that refuses to leave your face, you’re actually causing more trouble. Physically popping an acne bump can lead to scarring that takes even longer to leave your skin.

Plus, constantly touching the area around your acne can lead to further bacterial infection and cause new zits to arise.

Myth: Home remedies like toothpaste and baking soda can help heal acne bumps

Using home remedies such as the above will dry your skin and can even leave burn marks due to aggravation and irritation. Stick to dermatologist prescribed medication when treating concerns like acne.

Myth: Exfoliating your skin reduces acne

Exfoliation may seem like a quick way to reduce dead cells and oil but it can aggravate your skin and worsen active acne. Stay away from exfoliators and use gel-based cleansers to keep your skin clean and bacteria-free instead.

Complications that can occur when treating acne

One of the most common complications that can occur when treating acne is scarring. You want to make sure that you see a dermatologist, especially if your acne is moderate to severe, to heal the acne safely and prevent deeper scars from forming by using intensive treatments yourself. It’s likely that your skin may also be sensitive when you’re treating it for acne due to the medication that severe acne requires. This is why it’s important to consult with a dermatologist to treat it correctly and in the safest way possible.

Treatments for acne

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns that Indian women, men and children face due to our hot and humid climate. Of course, there are a lot of other causes of acne as well and it can range from mild to severe cases.

Extensive research by dermatologists and skin experts over the years has led to the discovery and development of multiple treatments to cure and heal acne.

The different types of treatments for acne include topical medication, oral medication and in-clinic treatments, a combination of which is used depending on the severity of the case.

Topical medication

Topical medication for acne essentially includes gels, serums and spot treatments. Each of these are infused with ingredients like active ingredients like salicylic acid, azelaic acid, lactic acid, benzoyl peroxide or retinol (or a combination of them), to target the acne causing bacteria.

Spot treatments are available in day and night variations, especially in the case of targeted pimple patches. Your dermatologist can help you choose the right acne treatment after evaluating the reasons for your zits.

Oral medication

Oral medication is mostly resorted to for acne in severe cases. Isotretinoin is one of the most popular prescription drugs to treat persistent cases of acne that don’t seem to go away with topical medication and lifestyle changes.

Due to the strength of the drug, it’s only advised to be used when prescribed and only for the duration it is prescribed. Do not buy over-the-counter pills to treat acne—always check with your dermatologist first.

Unlocking the Magic of CloudSkin: A Painless Path to Perfect Skin

Just as enchanting as it sounds, CloudSkin is a treatment that promises to deliver a flawless, lit-from-within glow without the need for needles or invasive procedures. If you’re seeking deeply nourished, revitalized skin, CloudSkin might be the secret elixir you’ve been waiting for. CloudSkin is not just a skincare solution; it’s a comprehensive approach to overall skin health.

What is CloudSkin?

CloudSkin is a cutting-edge skincare treatment introduced by Dr Kiran Sethi at her clinic in South Delhi, Isya Aesthetics. With a degree in Cosmetic Science & Formulation and Dermatology, Dr Kiran is a global expert in skincare and haircare. CloudSkin harnesses the power of air to infuse nourishing actives into the skin and scalp. The name “CloudSkin” is derived from the technology’s use of pressurized air, which creates a cloud-like effect on your skin, resulting in a smoother, calmer, and more radiant complexion. What sets CloudSkin apart is its ability to penetrate up to 1.5 centimeters into the skin’s surface, providing impressive results without the discomfort associated with needles and invasive procedures.

This dreamy, painless treatment is suitable for a wide range of skincare and scalp concerns, including improving skin glow, addressing pigmentation, combating acne, and reducing the signs of aging. Additionally, CloudSkin can be used to enhance hair health by infusing growth-promoting actives into the scalp. The versatility of this innovative technology extends to plumping and brightening lips, as well as improving the appearance of eyelids and under-eye areas.

At Isya, a commitment to tailored solutions is paramount. Consequently, they have developed their own protocol for CloudSkin, ensuring that clients achieve long-lasting results that gradually transform their skin, leaving it healthier, fresher, and more youthful over time.

What to Expect During a CloudSkin Session ?

A typical CloudSkin session lasts approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on the specific area being treated. Isya’s recommendation is to undergo eight sessions of CloudSkin for each condition, ideally scheduling one session per week. However, for those with busy schedules, one session every two weeks is also a viable option.

For individuals battling acne, a more intensive approach is advised, with two sessions per week for the first four sessions, followed by the remaining sessions administered once per week.

Step 1: Preparation and Explanation

First, the staff at CloudSkin meticulously outlined each step of the treatment and provided a clear rationale for why each step is crucial for the treatment’s effectiveness.

Step 2: CloudCleanse

The technician initiates the treatment by cleansing your face using saline water and soft cotton pads, followed by gentle wiping to remove impurities.

Step 3: CloudExfoliation

Following the cleansing, they move on to a deep exfoliation tailored to your specific skin type. This step functions like a gentle peel, effectively removing dead skin cells and leaving your skin with a radiant, youthful glow.

Step 4: CloudGlow

Addressing the common issue of pigmentation often experienced by Indian women, the next step focuses on combating this concern. An anti-pigmentation serum is skillfully massaged into your skin, targeting and reducing pigmentation for a more even complexion.

Step 5: CloudDew

The final and crucial step in the CloudSkin facial involves the infusion of hyaluronic acid. This essential step ensures a lasting, dewy and deeply hydrated effect, leaving your skin looking and feeling its best.

Post-Treatment Effects:

The allure of CloudSkin doesn’t stop at its efficacy; it’s also known for its gentle post-treatment experience. Clients can expect their skin to appear brighter with noticeable improvements in their specific skincare concerns. Fortunately, there are no side effects, no downtime, and no pain associated with this innovative treatment. In some cases, minor irritation or redness may occur for a day, especially if you opt for a stronger treatment.

Therapies

Treating acne in children

In children and teenagers, their skin starts to show the result of hormonal changes, also known as puberty. This often leads to excess oil production and hair growth, and the former often leads to acne.

If ignored and not treated under expert supervision, the scars from teenage acne can stay on their skin for years to come. If your child is battling acne, reach out to us at Isya and allow us to help heal your child’s acne in the safest way possible.

Skincare to prevent acne

Make sure you use a gel-based face cleanser, pore-clearing toner, lightweight moisturiser and a detoxifying face mask as part of your skincare routine.

It’s best to stay away from oil-based products (unless your dermatologist recommends a specific one made for your concern) and anything that may leave your skin greasy. Look out for the non-comedogenic label when deciding on over-the-counter products for your skincare routine.
