In recent years, Dermatology Clinics found a 200% rise in the number of adults seeking specialist acne treatment in the UK but what exactly is acne?
Acne is attributed to a hormonal imbalance, which can affect the function of the sebaceous glands. These glands create sebum, or oil and it's this oil that hydrates and protects the skins surface. When too much sebum clogs the pores, a bacteria known as P. acnes forms and triggers the unmistakable inflammatory across the skin.There are many treatments available and we have found that Blue Light devices are one of the most effective.
The Foreo ESPADA is a simple, quick and easy method that focuses on the inflammations directly. By switching on the device, there's no need for creams or gels, the T-Sonic pulsations allow the treatment to go deeper into your skin for better effectiveness as well as stimulate blood micro-circulation to help with skin renewal.We got in touch with a few of our customers and asked for their thoughts on this handy, effective device - here's what they had to say.
Roberta: How was your experience of using the FOREO ESPADA device?
I've been using the device for 1 week. The ESPADA gets easier to use with time. Once you see the effective results it feels like it takes no time at all to achieve them.
From following the treatment plan, how has ESPADA helped with your concerns?
I was sceptical about using the device as I thought it would be extremely time consuming and I wouldn’t see any results for a while if any at all. I saw results the next day! Few of the blemishes I treated were basically gone and some so much smaller than the night before.
Would you recommend FOREO ESPADA to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this to everyone struggling with breakouts. It’s so much better than any skincare product I have tried.
Calum: How was your experience of using the FOREO ESPADA device?
The Foreo Espada is very simple to use, the instructions are easy to understand but I’d highly suggest looking at YouTube tutorials if unsure. Since owning the device for 1 week, I have had to charge it once this is from using twice daily on around 5 troublesome pimples.
From following the treatment plan, how has ESPADA helped with your concerns?
When I get blemishes, they can take anywhere from 5+ days to show noticeable signs of healing. Whilst using the Espada on my current blemishes and blemishes that haven’t fully formed to the surface of the skin I saw results in as little as one day, starting with reduced inflammation/redness. I didn’t expect results as quickly particularly without the use of topical creams that can irritate my sensitive skin causing further breakouts.
Would you recommend FOREO ESPADA to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, the treatments are painless and easily performed when needed. I to was sceptical but I’m glad to report that light therapy works for me and my skin. I’d recommend to friends, though this alone won’t end all blemishes you still need to have a basic skin care routine to help in between treatments and ensure the ESPADA is used on cleansed dry skin for maximum benefits.
Vicky: How was your experience of using the FOREO ESPADA device?
The device was so simple to use. There is a quick start guide within the box, which was easy to follow. The device comes with a little bag to store it in as well.
From following the treatment plan, how has ESPADA helped with your concerns?
I am impressed with the results so far. I have another similar device but already prefer this. The treatment time is only 30 seconds per blemish, so it is quick to treat a few areas. I usually end up with cyst type spots that take a long time to go. I am finding with this device that they are starting to reduce in size within a day. This is just using it morning and night time. There’s a big change in the appearance of them within 2 days.
Would you recommend FOREO ESPADA to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely would recommend it to anyone whose skin behaves like they are still a teenager!
