The three most popular treatments used today for the treatment of acne scar removal are Smoothbeam laser, Vbeam laser and Fraxel. These modern laser acne scar removal treatments help promote collagen growth under the scars, which means the scars are filled from the inside giving a longer lasting effect. Smoothbeam laser is done using topical anesthetic which is a cooling cryogen spray that is sprayed on the face just before treatment. The good thing about this type of treatment is that it is quite painless, and the redness that usually occurs will disappear in a few hours after the treatment.
Vbeam laser treatment works for all types of acne scar shapes, but is especially effective on red scars because its objective is to remove the blood vessels in scars whereby they will fade and have a less outstanding appearance. The bad news about this type of treatment is that your face will be red and irritated and will hurt for around a week after the treatment..
What Fraxel laser treatment does is preserve the normal healthy layers of skin lying between the areas of infected skin that has been treated by the laser allowing for a much faster recovery than other laser treatments. After a series of treatments the skin is restored looking refreshed and beautiful. Because Fraxel laser penetrates the dead layer of tissue leaving it completed untreated, make-up can be worn immediately following this procedure. Depending on the extent of the treatment some patients are able to return to work immediately after the treatment while others require a few days to fully recover.
Before this treatment can be performed you have to prepare your skin, it will be cleansed with Opti Guide Blue, (which is a blue tint) which will be applied to the affected area. The blue tint is supposed to increase the contrast of tiny folds in the surface of the skin, so the fraxel Laser can precisely read the discreet contours of the affected area. Fraxel laser treatment can be very painful and would require the administration of a topical anesthetic ointment around sixty minutes before the operation to allow the anesthetic to take effect. This procedure can last anywhere from twenty to twenty five minutes depending on the amount of skin to be treated. Some people may experience swelling or redness and irritation after the treatment but these should fade within a few days.
All three types of treatments have their good sides and their bad sides but before you decide on which one you would like to use, you should definitely weigh the pros and cons as to how long it takes to heal, how effective it will be in clearing acne scars and how painful it is going to be after the actual treatment. It is always recommended that you consult with your dermatologist who will best be able to advise you as to which type of treatment would be best for you.
No one in their right mind enjoys the awkward years. This is the time that takes place between ages 13 and 17. Okay, maybe I'm being a bit extreme here. I guess I should say no one enjoys the image issues that go along with the awkward years. First of all, we don't know who we're trying to become, and secondly there's the zits. Yeah, a good 80 percent of adolescents know all about this. You pop a zit, and then another three pop up.
It's a pretty depressing routine that keeps many teenagers locked away in their rooms for entire weekends. Clearly a solution is needed. Preferably one that will start removing acne before it rears its ugly white, black or red head. Getting started can be the hardest part.
What is a pimple? That's an easy one. A pimple is basically a clogged pore that has erupted. Since oil, dirt and grime are trapped in there with the hair follicle, an irritating bump appears. This means the trick to removing acne lies in the cleansing and balancing of your face. Always use a gentle cleanser that removes dirt, oil and make-up residue. This way your precious pores are less likely to get clogged. Check out what Neutrogena has to offer.
Secondly you'll want to use a preventative product on your face. The goal is not simply removing acne, but keeping it gone as well. Maybe you should visit a local dermatologist to see if Differin is right for your condition. You can also see what the local drugstore has to offer as far as astringents, creams and moisturizers go.
It's not just about proper grooming. A major aspect of removing acne permanently concerns your diet. What are you consuming on a daily basis? I can tell you right now if it's loaded with sugar, fat or salt, it's going to have an impact on your skin. It's time to think fresh vegetables, low-fat foods and plenty of water.
This is how you tackle the acne issue from the inside-out. Feed your body what it needs to repair and provide you with a clean, zit free complexion. I guarantee you will see a difference in your condition after only a week of healthy dieting. Eat right and look great.
