ACNE TREATMENTS

Acne has plagued thousands of teenagers and this has cause severe humiliation. It can lead to a low self esteem and low self confidence. People have spent thousands of dollars in curing acne but to no avail.

The skin problem keeps coming back and causes more embarrassment. This often results to the acne sufferer having very low self-esteem. This should not be the case anymore because acne treatments are just right at your home, in the kitchen.

The first thing that is highly recommended as the best natural acne treatment is tea. Tea can detoxify the body of harmful elements including bacteria that cause acne.

Lemon juice may be added in the tea serving. A daily dose of tea will be most beneficial since tea has many antioxidants that will rid the body of harmful chemicals left in there by other foods. Lemon juice also has properties that will help significantly reduce acne outbursts.

Diet is the next best natural acne treatment. People suffering from acne should always avoid fatty foods. In addition, processed food and foods with a lot of sugar should be avoided. People who have acne are advised to observe if there are any foods that trigger acne out bursts. Based on this observation, an individual can avoid these foods without having to really consult a physician.

The last is not a type of food but it is more on activity. Hygiene plays a crucial role in getting rid of acne. Always ensure that clean and fresh water is used to bathe. Washing the face with warm water also helps remove the oil that causes acne.

If you want to buy some acne creams or lotions, it is best to consult with your dermatologist first as he/she can determine the type of skin condition you have and recommend the best acne skin care product for you.

Prescription acne treatment is the treatment recommended by a dermatologist after evaluating the person who is suffering from acne. It mainly involves topical medications and oral medications.

Prescription acne treatment acts on the factors that lead to acne, reduces oil production in the skin and effectively reduces infections from bacteria while minimizing inflammation. Prescription treatments also exist for removing the acne scars. Commonly employed prescription acne treatment includes topical treatments, antibiotics, isotretinoin, laser and light therapy, and cosmetic procedures. A combination of these treatments is often prescribed by dermatologists for achieving long term results. Prescription acne treatment such as soft tissue filters, dermabrasion, radiofrequency and laser light treatments, microdermabration and skin surgery are employed for treating the scars that are left by acne.

Topical acne medication is the best choice for treating mild acne. In this acne treatment, the prescribed medication is applied on the patient’s skin; it kills excess skin bacteria and prevents the plugging of hair follicles. The most popular topical medications include azelaic acid, retinoids, benzoyl peroxides, topical acne antibiotics and combination topical products. Adapalene, Tazarotine and Tretinoin are the retinoids most often prescribed. Oral contraceptives are prescribed as a combination of norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol, and are specially meant for women. Oral antibiotics are prescribed for treating more severe acne and sometimes they are used in combination with acne treatments. Isotretinoin is often prescribed by dermatologists in case the acne is severe and is not responding to other treatments.

Cosmetic acne treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabration are extensively prescribed by dermatologists to lessen the appearance of fine lines, minor facial scars and sun damages. Hormone treatments are employed to get rid of acne which is caused by hormonal imbalances. Laser therapy lessens the oil production of oil glands and light therapy acts on the bacteria that cause inflammation.

Acne treatments require a time period of 4-8 weeks for getting results. Prescribed acne treatments, especially oral treatment is highly effective, but prone to severe side effects. Pregnant women are not advised oral prescription acne treatment. And lastly it is important to find a program that you can stick to, and follow their schedule so that you can get on track to curing your acne. There are many programs out there and around the net, but make sure that you follow a proven program that has proven results. Because there are many places willing to offer programs, but most are just taking your money.

Acne isn’t just a problem that is affecting teens, many adults suffer with serious acne. Adult acne sufferers also have a higher percentage of developing depression or anxiety because of their acne condition. I am sure most adults who have acne had thousands of cures recommended to them from friends from from medical procedures to rubbing oatmeal on their face in the morning. When acne is still a difficulty for adults the reason behind the acne should be addressed first.

Some potential reasons behind acne in adults are stress, cosmetics, hormone imbalance and birth control pills. To combat these causes, adults sometimes need to alter their lifestyle. Stress should be reduced or eliminated, this is clearly tough to do given the demands on adults nowadays. Take time in the day to decompress and try to relax for at least an hour each day. Change your brand of cosmetics or use less makeup. Change your contraception technique if you are feeling this is the cause of your acne, your GP should be in a position to counsel some other contraceptive that might be more suitable.

Now if the reason for your adult acne is a hormonal imbalance this could be much tougher to correct but not difficult. There have been great strides made in recent years in the development of an adult acne cure. There are numerous programs that use all natural ingredients combined with specialized diets that will cut back severe acne even if the cause is a hormone imbalance. Plenty of these programs can be investigated online or in your local naturopathic shop. I have personally seen some of the results of these natural programs and they are nothing short of amazing. Some can have ends up in as little as 3 days.

Adults should try the first few cures before moving on to a natural cure or making contact with a medical professional. Many times the cure is as simple as altering their lifestyle and changing to a different brand of cosmetics. With natural cures available that can provide an adult acne cure in as little as 3 days that is the route I would recommend first. Visit Acne Prevention Tips

When you have an acne problem, the first thing that you should do is to try out simple lifestyle changes like washing your face on a daily basis, drinking lots of water. Consider a diet of fiber rich foods instead of fatty and sweet foods, and sleep at least eight hours every night. However, if lifestyle changes do not work, you can consider topical and oral medications like acne capsules, pills, creams, lotions, and gels.

These medications often contain benzoyl peroxide which works by opening the pores of the skin and clearing the clogs and blockages in the skin pores and hair follicles. Usually, topical medications work perfectly in eliminating acne. However, if these medications worsen the skin infection, you can consider cosmetic and surgical procedures.

Should you opt for the laser acne treatment?

Severe acne cases are often characterized by excessive sebum blocked by dead skin cells. In these cases, the acne producing bacteria is already very prominent and skin inflammation has spread all throughout the face of the patient. The skin cell regeneration process also slows down and the hormonal levels are quite high. If you have severe acne, common acne medications will not work for you. Thus, you should probably get a laser acne treatment.

Laser acne treatment can be the answer for people who already have too many scars and blemishes, not to mention swelling skin that can cause too much embarrassment. This modern procedure can be used to eliminate not just the acne-producing bacteria, but also the blemishes left behind by a severe acne breakout. It can also restore the skin’s original color.

Laser acne treatment is also recommended for patients who have persistent acne breakouts. Sometimes, acne breakouts happen even before the previous acne manifestations start to heal. Laser treatments can target the root cause of the problem and not just the existing pimples and lesions on the skin’s exterior.

Targeting the root cause of acne problems

Laser acne treatment generally works by stopping the bacterial growth which causes acne break-outs. During the procedure, the dermatologists use light and heat to kill the bacteria and reduce the scarring effects of acne.

Laser treatment procedure can also be used to shrink the sebaceous glands that produce the oils. Once the sebaceous glands contract, they will no longer be able to produce excessive amounts of oily sebum. If the body’s oil levels are diminished, the hair follicles and the pores of the skin will not be blocked. As a result, the chances for acne recurrence are greatly reduced as there is no more breeding ground for bacteria.

Having second thoughts…

Just like any other treatment procedure, laser acne treatment may have some side effects to the patient. For example, pregnant women are not allowed to undergo the procedure because laser radiation can potentially cause birth defects. For other people, the treatment may also cause burns and other skin irritations. It may cause inflammation, swelling, and redness. Because of the risks involved, many doctors recommend the use of other acne treatment medications before opting for a laser acne treatment.

TREATMENT OF ACNE

ACNE SURGERY: This procedure greatly speeds acne clearing and appearance by manually removing blackheads and whiteheads. A round loop extractor is used to apply uniform smooth pressure to dislodge the material. Lesions that offer resistance are loosened by inserting a pointed instrument to carefully expose the contents.

INTRALESIONAL CORTICOSTEROID THERAPY: If one or several painful acne cysts develop, fast relief is available with this relatively painless procedure. Each cyst is given a single injection of a dilute cortisone solution, using an ultrathin needle.

Laser and light therapy. Laser- and light-based therapies reach the deeper layers of skin without harming the skin’s surface. Laser treatment is thought to damage the oil (sebaceous) glands, causing them to produce less oil. Light therapy targets the bacterium that causes acne inflammation. These therapies can also improve skin texture and lessen the appearance of scars, so they may be good treatment choices for people with both active acne and acne scars.

Dermatologists will use very aggressive treatments to try to prevent the progression of severe acne. They will try to stop it in its tracks while at the same time, work to prevent permanent scarring. Oral antibiotics and medications such as accutane, may be used at this stage as well as drainage techniques and surgical incision, also known as Acne Surgery. Other acne treatments such as injections of corticosteroids can be used. This is primarily used to melt cysts over a period of a few days. The acne therapy chosen by your determatologist will be matched to the severity of the condition effecting your skin.

Acne laser treatment for scars

Acne laser treatment has also been tried recently in a related form of skin disease called Acne Inversa, caused by sweat gland inflammation. This chronic condition is characterised by inflamed abscesses in the groin and armpits, and rarely on the scalp. The usual acne treatment of oral antibiotics often helps to control the condition, but the scarring left by the abscesses can be severe enough to limit movement, and is not always helped by cortisone injections. Acne laser treatment may offer a less invasive treatment than full surgery, and together with other acne medications such as Isotretinion, acne scars may be a thing of the past for these patients.

Acne Treatment Guide

Chemical Peels and Dermabrasion

This involves the application of an exfoliate, such as glycolic acid, to the areas affected by acne. Sometimes, microdermabrasion is used as an alternative. The result is the peeling off of the top skin layers that opens comedones, and since the pores are no longer clogged, acne is eliminated.

Many people suffer with acne, but adolescents seem to be the most needing acne treatments. Reports show that ninety percent of people affected with acne are teens. In most cases, patients respond to acne treatments but it may take months and in some cases years before achieving the desired results.

While acne persists to afflict the lives of many, a wide range of products presented as acne treatments is available on the market. Many of these have been clinically tested and reported as effective, but many have not been scientifically proven as effective but nevertheless continue on the market.

Needless to say, always consult a health care professional for guidance in choosing the right acne treatments for your condition.

There are several forms of acne treatments available and considered somewhat effective to fight acne. Among the most suggested treatments, you will find the approach of killing the bacteria found in the acne as a result of blocked follicles.

In this case, antibiotics will be used as the desired acne treatment. The most common antibiotics are tetracyclines. For the same effect, a bacterial substance such as benzoyl peroxide is also used. Benzoyl peroxide is a topical treatment applied on the skin affected.

Although these acne treatments may seem to relieve the acne, they do not cure it. They simply treat the effect (the acne) and not its cause (oil secretion). Acne is primarily caused by oil secretion, which in turn causes the follicles to block and form cysts.

As a result, if the oil secretion problem is not resolved, acne is more likely to reoccur as soon as you stop using these forms of acne treatments. In essence, all treatments that treat the acne without treating its cause are only emergency treatments that temporarily relieve the problem. This forces the acne sufferer to repeat the treatment over and over until he decides to treat the cause of the acne.

Perhaps it means a change in diet or trying one of the other acne treatments, one that treats the root of the problem.

Derivatives of Vitamin A are also often used in acne treatments. Isotretinoin is one of the well know vitamin A derivatives. Clinical studies show that daily intake of isotretinoin will show results within a few months. The derivatives of vitamin A reduce oil secretion from the glands, and proved to be effective in treating severe and acute acne.

Contrary to the antibacterial acne treatments, acne treatments using derivatives of Vitamin A, such as isotretinoin, have found to have a longer lasting effect and even cure acne in some cases. But be aware that this solution is not perfect; it also has side effects that should not be ignored. These treatments should not be taken lightly and should always be followed closely by a health care professional.

Nowadays, acne sufferers have a wide range of treatments and approaches to help them in their fight against acne. The important thing to remember is to always research an acne treatment, along with its side effects, before going ahead. You would not want the unpleasant surprise of seeing your condition getting worse instead of better.
