There are times when certain treatments don't work. If you're at this point, there are still some measures that can be taken. You probably need to try an advanced treatment. My goal is for you to take legitimate information away from this article, should you make your mind up to make an appointment with a specialist. The specialist will most likely discuss the three different types that can be used.
The first type is UV light. It has been used for ages and is an effective killer of the bacteria that causes acne. But, studies revealed that use of this type can make it more likely for people to get cancer. The usage of it decreased dramatically after that was discovered. Especially since there are more types available that doesn't have that problem. I'll discuss these next.
This is one of the types I mentioned earlier that don't cause cancer. It performs two tasks very well. One, it kills the bacteria that causes acne. Two, it inhibits the sebum production which will certainly eliminate any kind of acne problem. It is named for the actual light color, which is blue. Therefore, they call it 'blue light'. It has a small side effect; it can cause somewhat dry skin.
Blue light has often been more effective on more serious kinds of acne (nodules, cysts). In several studies improvements ranged from complete remission to about 40% decrease in the number of lesions. While, two thirds improvements ranged from 59% to 67% reduction of inflammatory acne lesions.
Another beneficial treatment is referred to as Pulsed & LHE. You're already aware that if you can limit the sebum production by the sebaceous glands, this will dramatically diminish the odds of contracting acne. In this procedure, the sebaceous glands are actually shrunk, which will greatly reduce the availability of oil produced.
It has the approval of the FDA for treating mild-moderately severe acne. This enables them to treat acne at both ends of the spectrum. It can reduce inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne by treating two times per week in only a month. Compared to drug treatments which usually take two or three months or longer? Also, the light therapy is combined with prescription medication.
The laser is yet another type. It's so efficient because the beams of light converge at one point. All other light sources will scatter. This concentrates all that power into a small point. This makes it more accurate. That's why lasers are an excellent choice for acne procedures.
As far as results, one study that was conducted showed where just with one treatment, acne lesions were decreased by nearly 40%. On the next treatment, they were decreased by 60%, and with the third the number rose to over 80%. You may experience some mild pain; a topical anesthetic is used to insure you're as comfortable as possible. - 15683
