CLEAN PHONE & CLEAR SKIN...

TREATMENT FOR SEVERE ACNE CHICO   916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

ACNE SUFFERERS - CHOOSE STEVIA...

THERAPY FOR ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

If you have a high sugar diet, eventually, your skin will reflect your eating habits. Your reflection may be splotchy uneven skin tone, dullness, redness, lax sagging skin, eczema, psoriasis, rash-like conditions, or acne. Sugar causes systemic inflammation, often accompanied by acne in the genetically predisposed individual.

Substituting sugar with stevia is a healthy alternative. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is an herb that has been used as a natural sweetener for centuries. The leaves of the stevia plant are 30 to 45 times sweeter than sugar while the steviol extracts are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar.

Artificial sweeteners were banned in Japan over 40 years ago. The Japanese have been using stevia as a replacement ever since. Although, there are no long tern studies on this herb, the Japanese have conducted over forty thousand clinical studies on stevia indicating that it is safe for human consumption.

ACNE DIET TIP...

ACNE DIET PLANS CHICO, CA     916SKIN -ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

There is a lot of truth to the saying "you are what you eat." Although, there are often other factors at play, when it comes to acne, a healthy diet promotes healthy clear skin!

ELIMINATE SUGAR AND WHITE FLOUR:
Go cold turkey on this one! Cheating will only make your sugar and carbohydrate cravings last longer. Trade in your pastas, breads and pastries for brown rice, quinoa and amaranth. Replace all sugar and artificial sweeteners with stevia.


Eliminating sugar and flour products often triggers cravings for fat. Make sure you choose healthy fats and plenty of them!

HEALTHY FATS/OILS: olive oil, flax seed oil, sesame seed oil, borage seed oil, coconut oil, fish oil, organic butter, nut butters, nuts, seeds and avocados

HEALTHY CARBS: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans

IN ADDITION TO OUR ACNE PROGRAM, 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC CUSTOMIZES DIET PLANS BASED ON YOUR TYPE OF ACNE AND INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. CONSULTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY CONTACTING 916SKIN AT: (530) 503.9169

EFFECTS OF LIVER FUNCTION ON ACNE...

916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC TREATING BREAKOUTS CHICO, CA  

The liver often plays a key role in skin health. An over burdened liver can be the catalyst for acne breakouts. Providing your liver with the proper nutrients, can not only help cleanse your body of toxins, but it can also help clear your skin.

The functions of the liver are fundamental yet complex. Many cultures, including the Chinese, consider the liver to be the center of the body, as opposed to American culture, which considers the heart to be the center. The liver is like a chemical factory, with over 200 functions it daily duties include jobs like synthesizing enzymes, glucose and cholesterol. The liver also serves as a clearing station, assisting the body to detoxify and eliminate dangerous toxins and waste products.  The liver's role has become even more important in our industrial world, where we are exposed to hundreds of thousands of new chemicals in our water, air and food. With this heightened level of stress on the liver, it's critical that we give as much help and support as possible. Supplementation and the proper nutrients will help the over-worked liver function at optimal levels.

CUTTING THE CAFFEINE TO CLEAR ACNE

PROGRAM FOR TREATING ACNE IN CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Daily intake of caffeine infuences our neurotransmitters, which increases our energy, makes us more alert and can even lift our spirits! While coffee provides us with many benefits, including weaponry to fight off free radicals, it can be detrimental for acne sufferers who are prone to stress-based acne.

When cutting out the caffeine, do it slowly. If you drink 2 cups of coffee a day, begin by cutting back to 1 1/2 cups a day for 3 to 4 days. Then cut back to 1 cup a day for 3 to 4 days. You get the idea. If you rely on caffeine to get you through the day, quitting caffeine cold turkey will leave you feeling irritable, lethargic, stupid and possibly with the worst headache of your life!

Coffee increases seratonin and seratonin receptors - boichemical components that make us feel happy. Cutting out caffeine too quickly leaves us feeling irritable because our seratonin receptors have come to expect their daily dose of caffeine-based seratonin. When your body's regular supply of "happy biochemicals" has ceased, you get grumpy and may slip into a temporary mild depression.

VITAMINS THAT HELP HEAL ACNE...

VITAMINS FOR TREATMENT OF ACNE CHICO, CA   916SKIN ACNE CLINIC

One of the top acne triggers is stress! Stress engages the adrenal hormones, which raises testosterone, and increases the production of sebum. This spike in testosterone can also makes sebum thick and sticky. This means trouble! But, what it really means is that the sebum is more likely to stay trapped within the follicles causing acne impactions.

Some people have greater difficulty managing there stress than others. For most of us, stress cannot be controlled because it's built into our lives with work, kids or school. Learning to manage stress will not heal your acne, but it is one big step in the right direction!

High potency Vitamin B-Complex taken with Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) will help support the adrenal cascade to help your body manage stress.

916SKIN'S ACNE TREATMENT PROGRAM TAKES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO TREATING ACNE. THROUGH TOPICAL ACNE TREATMENTS (non-prescription) AND NUTRITION WE ARE ABLE TO CLEAR EVEN THE MOST SEVERE CASES OF ACNE IN 12 TO 16 WEEKS.  (530) 503.9169

GIVE YOUR ACE TREATMENT 8 WEEKS...

ADVANCED ACNE TREATMENT CHICO             916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Most people that come into the acne clinic have been battling acne for many years. They have tried just about EVERYTHING to get rid of their acne.

Any successful acne treatment (successful means long lasting in my book!) is going to require a daily skin care protocol. Whichever acne protocol your practitioner recommends, follow it carefully for at least 8 weeks. If you experience noticeable improvement, chances are, it will give you the motivation to continue your daily skin care routine. Often times it can take up to 8 weeks before you notice any significant improvement - so, stick with it! If, after 8 weeks, you haven't noticed much improvement - don't despair. Your skin care protocol may just need some adjusting - an additional product, a different percentage or using a product differently. When you're in the right hands, there are many adjustments that can be made to make for a successful acne protocol.

HOW TO TREAT ACNE COSMETICA...

HOW TO TREAT ACNE COSMETIC CHICO, CA       916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Jane is 28 years old and had perfectly clear skin until she went to a cosmetic party and began using new makeup products. Her skin began developing acne cosmetica after only a few weeks. Within 5 months she had developed moderate Grade 2 acne.

Grade 2 acne consists primarily of whiteheads - stubborn whiteheads. Generally, it can be easily covered with makeup. Because it is a non-inflamed acneic condition, it is often difficult to see unless you are in close proximity. Despite how mild it may appear, it is one of the more challenging types of acne to treat!

Through bi-weekly acne treatments, a bi-daily skincare regimen and replacing her makeup with the previously used brand, Jane was completely clear in 14 weeks.

• medications such as steroids, lithium, antiepileptics, and iodides
• conditions that influence an increase in androgen levels such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or in some cases, pregnancy
• ultraviolet light in some cases will help clear acne due to its drying effect, but in most cases it is irritating to the follicles and exacerbates breakouts
• donning headbands, masks, glasses, back packs, purses, under-wire bras, or anything that creates friction on the skin
