Modern And Traditional Remedies Of Acne

By Bradd Alan


Many teenagers and young adults are struggling with acne infection. A lot of research has been done on how to deal with this skin condition. Acne is caused by accumulation of dead cells on the skin, which then mixes with oil to form undesirable pimples on the face that evolve to blackheads and whiteheads. There are several cures for the skin condition, both modern and traditional. It is however advisable to consult the advice of a dermatologist before embarking any treatment.

Salt therapy is one of the methods to deal with acne although many studies have not been put to test it. Many people who use and have used this skin care method claim that it not only cures acne, but also other skin conditions. The main purpose of salt therapy is to raise the level of calcium sulfate in the body.

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.

Heat therapy is also used when dealing with undesirable pimples on the face. The main concept of this therapy is reduction of the size of the sebaceous glands so that they produce low levels of oil. The initial effect of this technology is that it causes a temporary redness on the face, but finally leaves a much smoother skin when the procedure is done.

Microdermabrasion is a much more recent method that involves elimination of the top layer of dead skin cells, and production of new ones so that any undesirable pimples are removed. Although this procedure requires several visits to the doctor, the results are amazing. This is a scientific procedure, and as such, you should maintain high standards of precaution.

Antibiotics are also another effective way to deal with acne. There are several antibiotics in the market, some may cause severe skin reactions, and as such, it is important to seek the advice of a dermatologist before embarking on any skin care products. You can cure acne with oral antibiotics, which work well to destroy bacteria and disease causing microorganisms.

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.
