Inflamed Active Acne and Congestion. Blackheads and whiteheads.

For sebaceous tapping we notice a decrease the occurrence of breakouts 3 weeks later and a decrease in the appearance of the size of the pimple in 1 week.

This type of treatment should be performed every 6-8 weeks. 

We recommend 1-5 sessions until the skin is cleared and maintenance no downtime treatments to keep up the results.

For Acne Prone Skin Types we recommend combining this procedure with a face laser for optimal results. 

We recommend face laser as we thin out and kill the hair follicle. Acne originates in the hair follicle, if the hair follicle is reduced we have a lower chance of reoccurring acne.

If the skin is suffering with heavy stubborn congestion we recommend a DUO treatment in combination with Vitamin A Stamping.

Possible side effects include redness on the pimples that have been tapped after the procedure that decreases after a week. Possible inflammation of the pimple for a few days post procedure.
