  • The Agera home care products should be used to enhance the in clinic treatments.
  • We will design & tailor an individualised home care programme for you.
  • Agera products use cutting edge technology. The products mimic what your body would naturally do.
  • The Agera product line is synthetic – it is not likely to cause Allergies & is suitable for the most sensitive skins.
  • The particles in the Agera Skin Care Range are so tiny they can penetrate into the deeper dermis of the skin. Normal Skin care products are limited in the penetration they achieve into the skin because of their large molecular size.
  • Current research shows that particles must be smaller than 600 micrometres to be able to pass through the stratum corneum into the dermis.
  • Until now the smallest commercial particle was 1200 micrometres which is why existing skin care ranges fail to penetrate further than the outer layer of the skin.
  • Whilst using Agera products you will notice a drastic improvement in the skin.
  • The products contain 3 main ingredients – Antioxidants, Growth Peptides & Retinols. Healthy skin requires all these ingredients.

The term Acne refers to the process that can result in as little as one blackhead or to be as much as the severe cystic acne. It is a disorder of the skin’s sebaceous glands and is believed to be an inherited condition caused by a genetic defect.

Which areas of the body can Acne affect?

Over 90% of people with Acne have facial Acne, 60% have Back acne and chest Acne. Severe acne can occur on the face, back and chest.

What age does Acne occur?

  • Acne starts most frequently at around the age of 12, with females starting earlier than males due to the earlier onset of puberty, however can appear as early as age 8 or 9.
  • The peak acne years are 14-17 in females and 16-19 years in males. As many as 40% of females and 35% of males are affected during these years.
Teenage Acne
  • Acne occurs due to increased levels of the hormone called testosterone, which occurs during puberty. The sebaceous glands are sensitive to these hormones, the glands produces more sebum which results in Acne.
Adult Acne
  • Some women even get Acne for the first time at the age of 30 or 40. There are many reasons you can break out as an adult. Stress or changes in your hormone levels like menopause or switching or stopping birth control pills are some possibilities.
  • PCOS which is a hormonal imbalance can also cause Acne.
  • In adults Acne can cause psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Adults may be more conscious of their Acne because it is called a ‘disease of teenagers’.

Types of Acne

Acne is classified into groups based on treatment and increasing levels of severity and scarring.

Grade 1 = Mild Non inflammatory non-scarring acne with open and closed comedones only.
Grade 2 = Moderate Inflammatory and noninflammatory non-scarring acne with open and closed comedones and some papules and pustules.
Grade 3= Severe Inflammatory acne and noninflammatory acne with open and closed comedones and extensive papules and pustules.
Grade 4= Very Severe Very inflammatory scarring acne and non inflammatory acne with open and closed comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts.

  • While a great deal is known about Acne, the primary cause still is not known and thus there is no cure for acne.

Overactive sebaceous glands

  • There can be no acne without sebum and this requires an active sebaceous gland. Sebum forms a protective coating over the skin surface and preserves the skin barrier by preventing water evaporation from the skin surface to the environment. However, sebum is necessary for acne and the amount of sebum produced correlates with the severity of the acne.
  • There are several factors that drive sebum production. One of the major driving factors is male hormones, known as androgens, which explains the increased severity of acne found in males rather than females. However, the androgenic balance is abnormal in 50-75% of females with acne. Some women have a hormone imbalance due to polycystic ovary disease, where the ovarian hormone production is abnormal.

Bacteria

  • The excess sebum production clogs the openings of the hair follicles. Bacteria then grow in these follicles.
  • The outer horny layer of the epidermis is usually dead. It is constantly shedding thousands of keratinised cells.
  • We are unaware of it because the cells are microscopic in size.
  • The surface of the face is covered with sebaceous follicles that are long hollow tubes not much bigger in diameter than a hair. The walls of the follicle are lined with the same dead cells that are on the outside of the face. Hence the same constant shedding takes place in the sebaceous follicle.
  • Normally glue like substance, called intercellular glue, carries these dead cells to the surface where they are eventually shed. However, in people who are genetically prone to acne, these cells stick together in the follicle and cannot reach the surface and cause a blockage called micro comedones.
  • At this stage the process is developing in the follicle only and the surface of the skin may appear entirely clear and unaffected. As the process continues, the blockage worsens and oils and bacteria build up. The bacterium subsequently excretes a nasty inflammatory acid by-product that leads to various acne lesions.

  • Open Comedones (Blackheads)

    In order to accommodate the accumulation of dead cells and oils the follicle forces the opening wider and appears as enlarged pores or blackheads.

  • Papules/Pustules/Nodules/Cysts

    Should the opening of the follicle be closed, the blocked follicle will expand to accommodate the increasing accumulation of dead cells/oil/fatty acids/bacteria may progress into a papule/pustule/nodule/cyst.

  • The follicle will continue to expand until it looks like a little bulging round ball. Follicles at this stage can only stretch so far and can be categorised as time bombs ready to explode. Stress, menstrual cycle, lack of sleep and other factors provide the trigger for the bomb to explode. This explains one of the reasons why the acne is frustratingly inconsistent.
  • As the time bomb explodes, the contents of the follicle leak out into the surrounding tissue causing severe inflammation. After the infection has subsided, the severity of the lesion and the scarring of the skin depend on the size and contents of the ruptured follicle.
  • The most severe eruption is the cyst that occurs when a follicle ruptures in the dermis to cause destruction of collagen and elastine leading to superficial scarring or deep pitting on the skin.
