Advanced Acne Treatment For Severe Cases

By: IC Home | Health-and-Fitness | Acne


People who suffer from severe acne problems may have tried different methods to reverse the effects of this skin is this without much success, if this is a case that there are several other options which may help you achieve the result that you are looking for, whether it is to kill bacteria, decreasing infection or treat the entire problem, specialized procedures have been developed in order to target complications caused by acne, let's take a look at some of these treatments.

Accutane (Isotretinoin):

This is a very effective medication which is used to combat severe cases of acne as well as a type of chemotherapy which may help prevent certain types of skin cancer. Isotretinoin has been marketed under different names such as Accutane by the Swiss global healthcare company Roche, Claravis by Barr, Isotane by Pacific pharmaceuticals, etc.

Isotretinoin is an ingredient which is known to cause birth defects so it is highly advisable (and yes extremely important) for pregnant women to stay away from this acne product when they are expected a baby because of the reasons already mentioned.

Phototherapy:

Clinical studies have shown that the combination of blue and violet light at a frequency of about 405 to 425 nanometers can decrease the inflammation caused by acne by as much as 70% after treating the problem for about a month with phototherapy. It has been also said that Sun light can improve our skin condition after moderate exposure however, if this method is used to treat acne Sun light is known to worsen the problem in the long term.

Laser surgery:

While laser surgery methods intended to treat acne have been around for a while the technology itself is quite new and most of the protocols followed are open to experimentation and further questioning. The use of the laser over a person's skin is expected to burn away the sebaceous gland which produces oil, induce the formation of oxygen within the bacteria in order to kill it and burn away the follicle sack.

This should be the last resort of a person who has tried pretty much everything in order to treat acne but has ended up without seeing any result. The use of intensified light and lasers is actually very controversial because of the fact that it has been said that continued exposure of the skin to this type of radiation may cause severe skin dryness and spots.
