The Power of Red Light Therapy & Obagi for Acne!

Acne is a common skin concern that affects many of us at different stages of life. At Bottoms Up Tanning and Wellness, we understand the struggle and are here to help you achieve a clearer, healthier complexion. This August, we’re highlighting the powerful combination of Red Light Therapy and the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.® System, along with some essential at-home care tips to help you combat acne effectively.

Understanding Acne: Causes and Triggers

Acne occurs when increased or excessive sebum production, an overabundance of bacteria, and inflammation come into play. These conditions can be triggered by contact with greasy substances, certain cosmetics, hormonal changes, medications, stress, diet, and genetics. When hormone levels rise, sebaceous glands enlarge, producing more sebum, an oily substance that can clog pores and lead to breakouts.

The Power of Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that targets acne at its source. By penetrating the skin layers, red light stimulates cellular repair and reduces inflammation, helping to clear up acne and prevent future breakouts. This soothing treatment can be a game-changer in your skincare routine, promoting a clearer, healthier complexion without the harsh side effects often associated with traditional acne treatments.

Obagi CLENZIderm System: Your Acne-Fighting Ally

The Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.® System is designed to combat acne and prevent future breakouts with daily use. This three-step system includes clinically proven ingredients like 5% benzoyl peroxide and 2% salicylic acid, which treat acne at its source and promote a clearer complexion. Here’s how to incorporate it into your daily routine:

• Step 1: Cleanse

Start by wetting your face with warm water and dispensing a nickel-sized amount of the Daily Care Foaming Cleanser into your hand. Lather, rinse, and pat dry.

• Step 2: Therapy

About 10 minutes after cleansing, apply the Pore Therapy solution. This step helps unclog pores and clear away dead skin cells, setting the stage for healthier skin.

• Step 3: Finish

Finish your routine with the Therapeutic Lotion, a lightweight acne treatment with 5% benzoyl peroxide. Apply as instructed, and follow with sunscreen to protect your skin throughout the day.

At-Home Care Tips

In addition to Red Light Therapy and the Obagi system, there are simple yet effective at-home care tips to help manage acne:

• Avoid Picking: Picking at pimples can lead to more inflammation, redness, and scarring.

• Keep Skin Clean: Regularly cleanse your skin to remove excess oil and dirt, but avoid harsh scrubbing.

• Hands Off: Avoid touching your face with dirty hands to prevent transferring bacteria.

• Stay Sun Safe: Protect your skin from the sun with sunscreen to prevent further irritation and damage.
