FACT: The more areas that acne is presenting on the body, the bigger the internal triggers. And the face is not one area. The face can be broken up into cheeks, forehead, jawline, neck etc. If your skin condition is spreading, your insides need help. They are speaking to you.
Different triggers require different pathways, and for acne presenting in multiple areas it’s a longer road. We need to balance the body, and that takes time. And then revision usually needs to occur. I tell all of our potential clients as much information as I can when we first meet to ensure that we are managing expectations appropriately. Sophie’s journey was no exception and we are still riding waves, albeit smaller. We can support the skin and strengthen it during the ‘wave’, but if we don’t balance ALL the body, then we will be forever chasing our tails and won’t achieve resolution.
Most clients don’t seek help from a professional until the skin is, in their words, “out of control”. It’s easy to cover a few spots and many don’t want to think about it. I strongly advise listening to your body in the first instance. As they say, listen to the whisper before it becomes a scream.
