5 treatments for acne rather than popping pills

I have been hearing from my parents that acne are the normal signs of one transition from childhood to teen. Now, that I am a dermatologist, I have come to know that there are some modifications to the old sayings. Acne may be due to a local or underlying infection, and can be treated effectively. I would like to suggest here 5 therapies for the Acne and acne scars treatment, apart from the prescribed medication:

• One of the most simple, easy to use and apply are the Chemical peels. They are rich in salicylic acid and mandelic acid, which reduces the formation of new pimples and spots. They are also helpful in reducing the acne spots that are already formed in an individual. The application involves a thorough skin evaluation so that there are no burns due to thin skin and relatively high concentration of the acid. The duration of application of the peels on the face also holds significance during treatment. So better said, get it done by a qualified dermatologist.


• The eruption of acne may also be associated with oily skin. So I recommend Dermalinfusion for such patients which has a triple action. It causes simultaneous extraction of oil, exfoliation of the skin and infusion of serums to unclog the pores. So it is a wonderful treatment for acne and acne prone skin.


• If we talk about severe acne, I recommend MnRF (microneedle radiofrequency) that heats away all the bacteria and causes significant reduction of the acne scars. It is good for patients with lot of red spots and marks due to acne.


• The fashionable is the name Hollywood laser also known as charcoal/ carbon facial. It involves the application of charcoal/ carbon, which has adsorbent properties and firing it with laser which takes away all the impurities, dirt and oil from your face and makes your skin soft and supple.


• As expensive as its name Hydragold treatment. The gold not only lies in the name but also in the coating of the needles. These gold plated needles go superficially into your skin and infuse the serum to decrease oil production and skin rejuvenation.
