Treatments for Active Acne
Laser Therapy for Acne
Laser treatments target the root causes of acne by reducing the bacteria that cause pimples, minimizing oil production, and promoting skin healing:
How it Works: Lasers can penetrate the skin to destroy the sebaceous glands that produce excess oil, which often leads to acne. The heat from the laser also kills bacteria and reduces inflammation.
Benefits: Besides reducing active acne, laser therapy can also minimize future breakouts and improve overall skin texture.
LED Light Therapy
This treatment uses varying wavelengths of light to treat different aspects of acne:
Blue Light: Targets and kills acne-causing bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes.
Red Light: Reduces inflammation and promotes healing, which can help in reducing the redness and swelling associated with acne.
Advantages: It's non-invasive, with no downtime, making it an excellent choice for those looking to manage acne without disruption to their lifestyle.
High Frequency Treatment
A time-honored technique now advanced with modern technology:
Action: High-frequency currents are applied through a glass electrode filled with inert gas, producing a mild electrical current that generates oxygen to help kill bacteria on the skin's surface.
Results: Helps in drying out active acne, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing, all while improving circulation to the area.
Chemical Peels
Suitable for those looking for a deeper cleanse:
Mechanism: Involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This peel removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and can help reduce acne by clearing out the follicle.
Types Offered: From superficial to medium-depth peels, tailored to the severity of acne and skin tolerance.
Your Regular Skin Care Regimen
Beyond treatments, maintaining healthy, acne-free skin involves a comprehensive at-home care routine complemented by regular professional care:
Daily Routine:
Cleanse: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser twice daily to remove excess oil, dirt, and makeup without stripping the skin.
Exfoliate: Weekly exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells but be cautious not to overdo it, which can irritate acne-prone skin.
Moisturize: Even oily skin needs hydration. Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer.
Protect: Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF is crucial, as UV light can exacerbate acne and cause scarring.
