Acne Treatment
Imagine the day when you have to cancel an important appointment
or much awaited social gathering or party, simply because you have
developed a lot of pimples, blackheads, etc on your face!!
It is because of this fear that people in USA alone spend over $
1.4billion every year over acne treatment. Though most of them earn
un-satisfactory results, a few of them have to even suffer with the
side effects, even worsening their conditions.
Acne can be treated by either taking prescribed medicines or by
trying out the non-prescription acne products like acne cleansers,
astringents, moisturizers and pimple creams available at the local
drug store.
Whatever way you choose to cure your acne, the basic methodology
that these medicines and non-prescription products employ remains
identical. They either help you to unplug your blackheads and
whiteheads or let your affected skin shed so that you get new fresh
look, or else they kill the bacteria that infect the pores.
The acne treatment usually takes six to eight weeks to work,
while in severe cases it may require months to get treated.
If you choose to go to dermatologist, he will suggest you to
take antibiotics, pills or vitamins or all, depending on what he
considers as the most apt treatment for you.
Though the tropical antibiotics like Cleocin T and Azelex help
in killing the bacteria, they may result in dry, red skin with an
increase in sun sensitivity, as compared to oral antibiotics that
even more serious side effects like nausea and dizziness in few
cases.
Taking in Vitamin A is yet another method of treating acne. The
derivatives like Retin-A, Differin and Tarzorac prevent the skin
cells from clumping together and shedding, but may cause dryness,
redness and irritation too.
It is because of these side effects the doctors suggest the use
of latest method, which cleans up acne by employing light of
wavelength 405 to 420 nm. The complete treatment needs 8 sittings
of 15 minutes each, distributed over a time span of 4 weeks. It is
found to give quick and impressive results when used to treat mild
and moderate inflammation acne.
