Acne Training: SkinGenesis Spot a Gap

It is fact that the most common disease to affect people throughout the world is Acne, and yet very few people working in the non-surgical cosmetic services sector ofering an acne treatment understand the various ways of treating the condition.

That is why the non-surgical cosmetic clinic SkinGenesis, has been working with charity ASG (Acne Support Group) to assist in the development of a range of acne treatment programmes to help sufferers. The Leeds/Manchester based specialist clinics called in the ASG to train all staff including the reception team, on how to advise clients suffering with effects of acne and rosacea.

“There is a huge gap between knowledge and believing old wives tales and many therapists rely upon a few hours of college study to provide them with up to the minute knowledge on treating and caring for spot-prone skin”, commented Alison Bowser, Chief Executive of the Acne Support Group. “If you are spending your money, you should ask yourself is this level of training going to be good enough?” she added.

The non-surgical cosmetic clinic group based in Leeds and Manchester jumped at the chance to boost all their clinic staff’s knowledge and Alison Bowser spent a day sharing her 13 years experience of managing acne, running a tailored acne and rosacea training day.

This specialist development and training is a first in the region, and sets apart the quality of care and expertise available at SkinGenesis.

“SkinGenesis has developed an effective alternative to conventional drugs and topical creams used to treat acne. Backed by a unique performance guarantee, the SkinGenesis team are confident they can substantially reduce the severity of this condition for many people. However, the training has also identified the importance of working with the client in a sympathetic, empathetic and discreet way.” concluded SkinGenesis director William Haseldine.

Amelan Depigmentation now available in Leeds

Amelan Depigmentation now available in Leeds

This is the treatment that many people with dark pigmentation marks (melasma) have been waiting for. Amelan gets right to the cause of the pigmentation and interrupts its production. After a few weeks the marks will fade and your skin will be left soft with its natural luminosity restored. It is ideal for people with medium to dark skins who would not be able to have conventional IPL or laser treatments.

With minimal time in the clinic this treatment is ideal for busy people but clients should be aware that there is the chance of some skin reddening for a day or two afterwards. As part of the treatment package you will be supplied with a maintenance cream to apply at home together with a moisturiser and sun block designed to give you a fantastic result.

Please note that this treatment is only available at our Leeds clinic.

Acne is not just a teen thing

Acne is not just a teen thing

Acne affects half of all teenagers and can be considered part of growing up. However when acne persists into late teens and adulthood, it becomes a real problem – and it’s not uncommon.

Over the age of 25 about 1 in 6 of teenage acne sufferers will still be having problems. Read Will’s story to learn how the SkinGenesis Adult Acne Treatment can help clear up your skin.

Less well known is that some people are blessed with hardly a spot during their teens but then go on to develop acne in their 20s, 30s and 40s (known as adult onset acne). In a recent study, 8% noticed acne for the first time over 25 years old and at 40 significant lesions were still present in 1% of males and 5% of females.
