Acne Treatments
Acne is an inflammatory condition of the skin frequently associated with teenagers. Typically characterized by clogged pores and pimples, cysts, blackheads and whiteheads, Acne, or Acne Vulgaris affects the face, shoulders, back, neck and chest. The most common causes are changes in hormonal levels, increased sebum production, bacteria (P. acne) and changes inside the hair follicles. Severe acne or acne that is not treated properly can lead to scarring.
Patients with Acne are typically treated with antibiotics or topical creams. Today laser therapy has proven to be a very effective and faster way to treat active acne.
Repeated treatments lead to an observable reduction in active acne in 2 to 4 weeks. Results of acne treatment by sebaceous gland heating have been reported to last up to 6 months.
