What is Acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting both teenagers and adults. While it may not be a serious medical condition, the appearance of acne can significantly impact one’s self-esteem and quality of life. Fortunately, several treatments are available for managing acne.
The first step in treating acne is to understand its causes. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Bacteria can then infect the follicle, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples or cysts. Hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medications can contribute to the development of acne.
Acne removal is an investment for our body. These treatments make you feel completely new and make you more confident. The only catch with this treatment is discipline. The only way you can have the best results is to take care of your skin even after the treatment. The routine that we recommend after the treatment should be consistently followed.
How is the treatment done?
The various types of treatments are explained below:
- Antibiotics that are a part of oral medication kill the bacteria that resides inside the pores of the skin.
- Birth control pills regulate the hormone levels which improve acne symptoms in the fairer sex. However, these pills should not be consumed during pregnancy.
- Isotretinoin belongs to the retinoid family and is considered to be a strong drug for treating severe cases of acne. Consumption of this drug reduces the oil glands’ size, as a result of which the oil secretion is reduced. This drug is available only when prescribed by a doctor.
- Drainage and extraction method is mainly used to treat cystic acne. In this method, a doctor manually drains out the large cysts that form under the skin. Along with this, fluids, pus, dead skin and dirt are also removed. This helps in reducing the pain as well as the infection. At times, steroids or antibiotics are injected into the infected area to speed up the healing process.
- In laser therapy, laser light is used to reduce the growth and amount of acne-causing bacteria The laser light penetrates the skin and eventually kills the bacteria present on the skin. This treatment is cost efficient and painless.
- Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are used to remove the topmost layer of the skin. This treatment is used to effectively remove whiteheads and the blackheads.
- Topical medications like gel, cream and lotion are applied as a thin coat on the surface of the skin. These products reduce the oil secreted by the body. They also help in killing the bacteria that causes acne.
