How To Treat Acne With Alternate Acne Treatments

Acne is a very difficult and stressful skin condition that can be hard to cure. The percentage of people around the world that suffer from either the occasional zit or full blown breakout is approximately 80%. For those that need only endure an occasional pimple it is hardly a problem or any need for concern. But for others it can cause undue stress, poor self image, and put a huge dent in their personal and professional life.

 

There are all different kinds of treatments now available to acne sufferers. The most popular are antibiotic medications, or chemicals that can be very hard on the skin., causing it to become inflamed, skin to peel, and all round irritation to an already “sensitive” situation. The following are two of the latest treatments to treat this condition:

Blue Light therapy: This is an easy and increasingly fashionable and common way to treat acne today. The procedure is simple, there is no ingestion of drugs nor is it an intrusive procedure. Most acne treatments cause a lot of skin irritation, while this does not. There are a concerned few who regard this procedure as unsafe, given that at one time it used ultraviolet light, a danger to the skin. Passed by the FDA, it no longer uses ultraviolet light as it did in the past, so there is no need to worry, the procedure is safe and definitely a viable option open to acne sufferers. A patient is commonly treated during eight sessions within a four week period. One session lasts typically fifteen minutes. This can be done by a dermatologist or a person that is a highly trained skin specialist.

Pulsed light and heat energy therapy are other types of light therapy available to treat acne. LHE uses light and heat to kill bacteria at the root, bacteria that causes acne. The heat lessons the amount of sebum in your skin and reduces the size of sebaceous glands. It is quickly becoming popular as it quickly cures acne in about a month, and as well, a session lasts typically ten minutes. It is approved for mild to moderate acne by the FDA.

Light therapy can be highly costly and not usually paid by most health insurance plans. Less expensive so-called herbal remedies can supposedly help. These herbal remedies include black currant seed oil and evening primrose oil to name a few.

Specific types of vitamins and minerals can also help with acne. Vitamin A, though potent, can help keep one’s skin clear and healthy, and it also help produce keratin. Ask your doctor about whether or not it’s right for you. Other vitamins both beneficial to the skin and to helpful in curing acne include Vitamin B-6 , Vitamin E, and the mineral Zinc. The dosage for acne sufferers is 30-50 mg of Zinc daily.
