Most of the acne treatments that are prevalent take weeks, if not months, to produce desired results. However, it might so happen that you need an immediate cure, and just cannot wait for that long for your acne woos to end. There are other proactive acne treatment procedures that are widely gaining popularity. These are not only effective, but also provide cure within a very short time period.

Chemical Peel or Derma Peel:

This is very effectual treatment procedure. There are three types of chemical peels heavy, moderate and light. While the former strictly requires application by a dermatologist, the last one can be mixed and applied at home. Moderate chemical peels are often applied by cosmetologists in beauty salons.

This is not an invasive surgery procedure. A thin layer of a mixture of certain chemicals are applied on the skin, left for a time to dry and then peeled off. While the chemical layer is removed, the outer damaged layer of epidermis also comes off with it. The healthier, fresher skin underneath is revealed. All scars and blemishes are eliminated. Thus results an improved appearance.

Immediate side effects include peeling or flaking of the treated zones of the skin, and irritation of the areas where new skin is growing. Some redness may also be present. Nevertheless, these are usually temporary.

However, only a doctor can determine the extent of damage, the depth to which acne and associated blemishes have spread. So, all proceedings are to be determined by a skilled and certified physician.

Clear Light Treatment:

This is a novel method of treatment, designed to aid patients suffering from moderate degree of acne. This technology is believed to eliminate the bacteria that are responsible for causing acne. This non-invasive proactive acne treatment is both safe and effectual. The patient experiences no pain, nor any side effects. No peeling, redness or irritation occurs in most cases. All the areas of the body that tend to break out, including the face, the neck, the back, the shoulders and the chest can be treated with this procedure.

The whole procedure constitutes multiple sittings over a period of a month. However, severe cases tend to be resistant to the therapy.
