New Acne Treatments For A New Generation
By Flor Serquina
Having is a familiar experience for many people, especially during the teenage years. For a great majority, however, this vanishes as soon as puberty has passed. For the not so lucky ones, they have to bear with this embarrassing and unsightly disease even up to adulthood and the longer it stays with the person, the more difficult it becomes to treat it.
As with any other health problem, it is always best to consult a professional before you subject yourself to any type of treatment or medication. For and other skin problems, we should consult licensed dermatologists. Even with mild cases of acne, consultation is still best done prior to treatment and even afterwards.
Traditional methods have been used to complement new methods, most especially when the modern procedures seem to be insufficient in treating severe cases of acne.
Advances of modern-day treatment do not necessarily outdo traditional methods nor render them ineffective and obsolete. A few recent methods involve the painful stripping of the epidermis to make way for a new layer of raw skin underneath. The procedure of exposing the inner layer of the skin puts the person at risk of infection. Dermatologists usually prescribe antibiotics in the course of the treatment to guard their patients from any form of infection.
Clearer Skin Through Birth Control Pills
There are dermatologists who think that one of the causes of could be hormonal and therefore they recommend taking birth control pills. These pills are meant to stabilize the estrogen and progesterone levels in women with such problem. It is believed that due to the hormonal changes which cause acne, taking birth control pills can improve
the lot of these affected women.
Acne treatment often leaves scars and small cysts. These concerns have already been addressed even by manufacturers of creams and ointments. Mandelic and malic acids are active ingredients in solutions known to deal with this problem. Mandelic acid prevent pore clogging as it controls the production of oil glands. Malic acid, equally, benefits the skin by keeping it hydrated without the excessive oil production.
Light Therapy For Acne
To combat more severe forms of cysts and scars due to acne, new treatment regimens have been formulated that involve the use of different frequencies of light. For instance, blue and red light therapy involves the use of light set at a particular frequency, through bulbs or lasers, to reduce the number and severity of lesions. Light therapy is designed to destroy the bacteria that cause acne, and light therapy treatment has so far been shown to be highly effective. However, as this technology is relatively new, it can be very expensive.
The light therapy has also evolved into a new technology called photodynamic therapy. With this, a stronger concentration of blue and violet lights is used to destroy acne-causing bacteria in the skin.
Zapping With Laser
Evidently, the widely-recognized laser treatment has been the most popular alternative for patients. Laser burns the follicle sac in the skin as well as the oil that clogs the pores. This method removes and also prevents them from occurring again.
Another reason that laser treatment has been more effective is that it induces the production of oxygen molecules from the bacteria. Oxygen kills these bacteria and, in effect, gets rid of the acne.
These are only a few new treatments that are now available on the market. For more information, do as much research as you can on treatments, and be updated on the latest news about treatments that have already been approved for general use. Moreover, talk to your dermatologist regularly and consult on these new treatments. As you have more options available to you, it will be more probable that your case will be resolved much faster.
