Fungal Acne Treatment: Unveiling the Secrets to Clear Skin

Fungal acne, also known as Malassezia folliculitis, is a skin condition that shares similarities with traditional acne but is caused by a different culprit.

While regular acne is typically caused by bacteria, fungal acne is triggered by an overgrowth of yeast-like fungus known as Malassezia. This condition can manifest as small, itchy, and inflamed bumps, often mistaken for acne.

Fungal acne treatment requires a different approach than traditional acne treatments. At Capital Blossom Day Spa, we have the expertise and specialized treatments to address this specific skin concern effectively.

Understanding Fungal Acne

Fungal acne occurs when the Malassezia fungus, which is naturally present on the skin, overgrows and causes irritation in hair follicles.

The excess yeast feeds on the skin’s natural oils, leading to inflammation and the formation of small, red bumps. Fungal acne is commonly found on the chest, back, shoulders, and forehead, and it can be exacerbated by factors such as humidity, sweat, and the use of occlusive skincare products.

The Fungal Acne Treatment Facial at Capital Blossom Day Spa

Our Acne Treatment Facial is a specially curated procedure that effectively fights blemishes and controls acne breakouts, including fungal acne. This targeted treatment begins with a deep cleansing to clear pores of unwanted oil and dirt.

Next, oxygen infusion and LED light therapy are employed to combat acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote skin healing.

Deep Cleansing

The treatment starts with a thorough cleansing to remove impurities and unclog pores, preparing the skin for subsequent steps.

Extraction

Our expert estheticians gently perform extractions to remove impurities and relieve congestion in the hair follicles, promoting smoother skin.

Oxygen Infusion

Oxygen infusion is a vital component of our Acne Treatment Facial. Oxygen’s anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated skin, and it also helps in killing acne-causing bacteria, including those responsible for fungal acne.

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy is utilized to target acne-causing bacteria, particularly the P. acnes bacteria responsible for fungal acne. Blue light rays effectively destroy the bacteria, while red light promotes skin healing and reduces inflammation.

Clay Mask

The treatment concludes with the application of a nourishing clay mask to further soothe and clarify the skin.

The Oxygen Facial at Capital Blossom Day Spa:

Our Oxygen Facial is a comprehensive treatment designed to boost collagen production, control acne, shrink pores, hydrate, brighten, rejuvenate, and reduce fine lines.

This skin enhancement procedure employs an enzyme peel mask to deeply clean pores and facilitate oxygen infusion, allowing the serum to penetrate deeper into the skin.

During the massage, our potent oxygen facial cream replenishes skin oxygen levels, improves blood circulation, and supports collagen production for acne-free and younger-looking skin. The facial concludes with an oxygen mask to enhance the skin’s overall appearance and vitality.
