Modern And Traditional Remedies Of Acne

By Bradd Alan


Dealing with acne is one of the greatest challenges to the modern teenager. This chronic skin condition when not dealt with completely can even spread to the early adult years with pronounced pimples and redness on the face, coupled with blackheads and whiteheads. The good news is that Acne is curable. You can use home remedies to deal with it, or go to a dermatologist to get your skin checked out and get the proper medication with antibiotics to avoid further infection.

One of the ways to deal with it is salt therapy. Although it has not been tested by dermatologists, many people who have used it claim that it works. This is because it functions on the fact that acne is caused by lack of sufficient calcium sulfate in the body. This skin care method also cures other conditions other than acne.

Some traditional methods have also been proven to cure acne such as application of raw egg whites, small bits of toothpaste, and honey or lemons on the affected areas. These may remove unwanted pimples on the face by leaving it overnight to take effect. Garlic paste is also another great recipe to fight acne, although dermatologists have proved none of these treatments.

Scientific procedures have evolved today, and so it is easier to deal with acne with the right equipment. Laser therapy is one such method. This fast but expensive procedure may vary depending on the nature and intensity of your pimples. You can for example use high intensity lasers for stubborn long-term pimples, diode lasers for slightly more advanced symptoms or blue light therapy is minor pimples on the face.

Another modern method used by dermatologists to deal with troublesome pimples on the face is the heat therapy. This technology involves reducing the size of the sebaceous glands, which in turn lowers the level of oil production. The result is a temporary red appearance on the face which later subsides to leave a much more smoother skin. This skin therapy requires multiple visits to the doctor, so patience is a vice.

One of the more modern therapies used today is microdermabrasion which essentially involves removing the top layer of dead skin cells away to get rid undesirable pimples. It then stimulates the production of new skin cells, and the result is a much more smooth skin on the face. Just like the heat therapy, this skin care procedure requires you to attend multiple visits to the hospital before attaining the desired results.

You can also use some antibiotics to deal with acne. It is however important to have your dermatologist prescribe the right medication before trying any skin care products. Oral antibiotics work well to cure severe cases of acne by destroying bacteria and preventing the skin from scarring.

Additionally, you can also employ Isotretinoin, an effective method that people ignore because it is expensive. This method works well by lowering the level of sebum oil that your skin glands produce. This prevents pimples from sprouting on the face. It is important to seek medical attention before starting any skin care medication so that you avoid any reactions that may occur because of skin allergies.
