Relief from acne spots at last - Rachel's story

At school I had good skin with hardly a spot. I couldn't believe it when, aged 17, my skin just got more and more acne spots. I felt so self conscious because just as my friends skin was getting better mine was starting to get worse and I wanted to train as a beauty therapist. Why me?

I'm 21 now and over the years I tried all the usual thingsavailable from Boots but none of them worked. My GP prescribed topical antibiotics and all they did was dry the skin the spots didn't go away. He then prescribed Roaccutane but, although I picked up the tablets, I never started the course because I was worried about the side effects. I know it can work well for many people but I just wasnt ready for it.

And then I discovered SkinGenesis and their non-invasive, no medication approach to reducing the effects of acne where the treatments stimulated my skin to sort itself out. These treatments alternated between gentle peels and microdermabrasion and look at me now, just 4 months later! I feel so much more confident and wear hardly any makeup now my skin looks naturally healthy. Fantastic!

Rachel worked for SkinGenesis in Manchester in 2005/06. The successful treatments gave her new confidence and she has gone on to train as a teacher. We wish her every success in her new career.

This treatment is great for removing scars too. If there is excessive inflammation some Intense Pulsed Light treatment will remove the redness.
