Acne Treatment OptionsWhat Are The Acne Treatment Options?
It is often thought that, in order to get the better of spots and acne breakouts, it is necessary to use strong, alcohol based products to dry the skin out.Unfortunately, these same products can make the situation worse by stripping the skin of natural oils and encouraging the sebum glands to work even harder. This increased production of sebum provides the perfect environment for further bacterial growth.
70% of acne sufferers will find that their acne resolves without intervention. However, this can take years and, of course, 30% do not resolve. Most sufferers feel driven to do something to improve their physical appearance and consequently, the aim of acne treatment is to deal with skin eruptions in the short term and to prevent scarring in the long term. If no treatment is sought then long term scarring is more likely to occur. We would recommend that you seek advice from people with the experience and the range of options to treat your personal condition. At The Laserase Bolton clinic we believe in using a variety of well targeted and properly formulated treatments and products. We will begin with a consultation during which we look at your current skin management regime, including all the products that you are using: while some products may be good for continued use, it is not unusual to discover that some products are not appropriate, or could be replaced with something milder and more "skin-friendly". In any case, We will take a full medical history and carry out an examination of the skin to assess your current situation. We will inform you about the products and treatments that we consider would be of most benefit to you. These might be a mixture of a home care regime and in-clinic procedures such as:- * N-Lite laser * AFT420 (IPL) * Home care products The treatment regime is always individualised for each client: what is perfect for one client with acne might be unsuitable for another.
