Acne is a common challenge for many teenagers, and it can be a source of stress, low self-esteem, and frustration for both teens and their parents. In the quest for clear skin, many people turn to quick-fix medications like Roaccutane. While Roaccutane is often hailed as a solution for severe acne, it comes with significant side effects that can outweigh the benefits.
At Beautyflair, we believe in a gentler, safer, and more sustainable approach to treating teenage acne—our specialised Teen Facial. Here’s why you should consider this effective treatment over harsh medications.
The Risks of Roaccutane
Roaccutane (also known as isotretinoin) is a prescription medication that’s commonly used to treat severe cases of acne. While it can provide results, it’s not without its downsides. Some of the common and serious side effects include:
• Dry, peeling skin: Roaccutane can cause extreme dryness, leading to cracked lips, peeling skin, and irritation.
• Mood changes: Many users report feeling depressed, anxious, or irritable while on the medication.
• Joint pain: Some people experience muscle and joint aches, making everyday activities uncomfortable.
• Severe sensitivity to the sun: This medication can make skin extra sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.
• Long-term effects: Some users suffer from lingering side effects even after stopping the medication, such as digestive issues or prolonged dry skin.
Given the potential risks, Roaccutane should only be considered in the most severe cases and under careful medical supervision. For mild to moderate acne, there are far safer alternatives, like professional facials, that target problem areas without the harmful side effects.
Why Choose Beautyflair’s Teen Facial?
At Beautyflair, we understand that every teenager’s skin is unique. That’s why our Teen Facial is designed to specifically address the needs of young, acne-prone skin. This gentle yet effective treatment includes:
• Skin Analysis: We start by assessing your teen’s skin type and the specific areas of concern. Understanding whether the acne is caused by hormonal changes, oil production, or environmental factors allows us to offer a personalised treatment.
• Extractions: Our professionals carefully and hygienically remove blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores without causing trauma to the skin, reducing the risk of future breakouts.
• Targeted Healing Treatments: We use products tailored to soothe inflamed skin, reduce redness, and promote healing. These treatments not only tackle current breakouts but also work to prevent future ones.
Best of all? There are no side effects. Unlike harsh medications, our Teen Facial nurtures and restores the skin’s natural balance without causing irritation, dryness, or long-term damage. Plus, it’s a calming experience that leaves the skin feeling refreshed, hydrated, and healthy.
