Acne Skin Treatment Case Study

This case study follows a 32-year-old female client presenting with sensitive, acne-prone skin and recurring breakouts concentrated around the cheeks and jawline.

Contributing factors included stress, long working hours, minimal relaxation time, and regular cosmetic use.

A tailored treatment programme combining Green Peel Energy treatments, Steam & Pore Extraction treatments, and supportive homecare advice was carried out over 3 months, resulting in significant improvements in skin clarity, inflammation, and post-acne scarring.

An amazing investment

I have been seeing Angela for my acne for about a year, and recently did a course of three green peel treatments. The difference these have made to my skin has been incredible! My skin is so much healthier, my acne scarring has massively reduced and any spots I do get are going so much quicker. It’s the first time in years I’ve felt comfortable going out without makeup on. Angela is fantastic, so knowledgeable and helpful and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. She’s helped me other factors that affected my skin like diet, and never tried to push other products on me. I cannot recommend her enough!
