The akmè protocol is an advanced dermocosmetic treatment designed to intervene on the altered biological mechanisms underlying acne-prone skin. It does not merely treat visible imperfections, but works on the progressive regulation of sebaceous function, the modulation of inflammatory response, and the rebalancing of the skin microbiota. Through selective and controlled exfoliation, it promotes pore clearing and proper cell renewal, without aggressing the skin barrier. It acts on the sebo-inflammatory component by reducing excess oxidized sebum and the micro-inflammations that fuel comedones and inflammatory lesions. In parallel, it supports the restoration of a balanced microbiota, an essential condition for reducing the frequency of recurrences.

The objective of the akmè protocol is not simply to eliminate the single pimple, but to intervene on the causes that generate it, such as follicular occlusion, qualitative alteration of sebum and persistent low-grade inflammation. The reduction of imperfections occurs progressively. With the continuity of the protocol, the skin learns to manage its sebaceous activity more stably, reducing the frequency and intensity of acne manifestations.

Acne-prone skin is often already sensitized by improper or excessively aggressive treatments. The akmè protocol uses peels and active ingredients in controlled concentrations inserted in a sequence designed to ensure a gradual and non-invasive action. The objective is to rebalance, not further stress, the skin tissue.

The times vary based on the initial skin condition and the type of acne. In some cases, an improvement in texture and luminosity is observed already after the first session; in more structured cases, the reduction of lesions becomes progressively evident during the complete cycle.

The results tend to be long-lasting because the protocol acts on the biological causes of acne and not just on superficial manifestations. However, stability over time depends on consistent home maintenance and daily habits. In the presence of predisposing factors, some manifestations may re-emerge, but generally with reduced intensity and greater controllability.

No, akmè is an advanced aesthetic treatment of clinical inspiration. It does not require medical supervision, but is based on updated scientific knowledge to guarantee safety and effectiveness while respecting skin physiology.

The treatment is not indicated in the presence of open lesions, active dermatological therapies, pregnancy or skin highly sensitized by recent procedures. Each situation is individually evaluated by the Dermotechnologist during the anamnesis phase.

The protocol is structured to operate in total safety and maximum effectiveness. During the protocol, transient responses may occur such as slight redness, temporary increase in the visibility of impurities or slight desquamation. These are physiological manifestations related to the regulation and skin renewal phase.

No. During some phases you might perceive tingling, warmth or slight skin tension. These are controlled and temporary sensations, associated with the activation of the skin''s biological mechanisms.

In some cases, a readjustment phase may occur where impurities appear momentarily more evident or slight desquamation is observed. This is a physiological response that indicates the activation of the follicular normalization process.

It is not advisable to interrupt the protocol independently. Each skin response is interpreted by the Dermotechnologist and, if necessary, modulated. Continuity is fundamental to stabilize sebaceous and inflammatory regulation.

The complete akmè protocol involves 5 consecutive weekly sessions. This frequency is necessary to ensure consistent and progressive stimulation of the skin''s rebalancing mechanisms.

Some medications can influence skin reactivity or sebum production. It is essential to communicate this during the anamnesis to evaluate any adaptations to the protocol.

Weekly regularity is an integral part of the protocol''s effectiveness. Any delays should be recovered as soon as possible so as not to interrupt the physiological sequence of stimulation.

Direct sun exposure is strongly discouraged for 48 hours after. The skin is in an activation phase and must be protected with adequate sun filter, following home care instructions.

Yes, provided that photoprotection guidelines are strictly adhered to and direct exposure is avoided in the days immediately following the session.

During the protocol, it is preferable not to subject the face to further treatments, to avoid overload or interference in the regulation mechanisms. Any integrations must be evaluated by the Dermotechnologist.

It is recommended to wait at least 48 hours after the session before performing any form of hair removal or epilation on the face.

The possibility of integrating the protocol depends on the type of treatment performed and the time elapsed. The skin conditions will be evaluated to define the safest and most coherent modalities and timings.

The akmè protocol includes a specific home program with AkmeCeutic products, possibly integrable with compatible references from the Rhea Cosmetics line. The use of unsuitable products can reduce the effectiveness of the protocol or interfere with the active ingredients used.

Yes, it is possible to apply make-up after the session, preferably choosing light and non-occlusive formulations in the first hours.
