[A200]Acne Scars Laser Treatment
by Alien, Ali
Acne prevention or stopping the condition before it starts or reoccurs is the secret to manage acne. Another is to use any of a variety of acne treatments that work best for you under the guidance of your healthcare provider or dermatologist.

And after you find an acne treatment solution or solutions, use them regularly. Firstly, acne treatment has a great impact with the timing. In order to avoid the most minimal damage it is sensible to begin acne treatment as soon as the first signs of acne appear.

And, you may need to continue treatment even after the blemishes fade to keep new outbreaks at bay. Next let's take a look at research below that represents a compilation of a wide variety of acne healthcare, acne programs and acne treatments available today.

ABY SkinCare

ABY Skincare is a management and treatment program that combines Benzoyl Peroxide, Sulfur and Glycolic Acid. Their Acne Kits are customized to individual skin care needs with strength varying from 2.5 percent to 15 percent (factoring sensitivity and prior usage).

Accutane

This retinoid prescription medicine, also known as Isotretinoin, is used to help treat severe acne when other methods like antibiotics fail. It is generally packaged in 30-day portions at a time, closely monitored under a physician's care because the medicine has important precautionary measures. Possible severe side effects have been reported including birth defects with pregnant women, mental lethargic issues and suicide. The medicine cannot be combined with Vitamin A and take care with contact lens wearing and a decrease in night vision.

Acne Clearz

This DHEA-free and fragrance-free Night Serum, for adults and teens, boasts a sensitive or low irritation ingredient mixture with moisturizers, deep penetrating yet clear and gentle for skin. It's considered a super strength pore clearing medicine that combats existing and returning pimples and blackheads and helps cover acne scars, featuring Hydroxy and Anti-Oxidant protectors, helpful in the control of oil generation.

Acne Treatment Clinic

This California-based clinic offers a variety of acne helping products via mail order upon completion of a skin assessment questionnaire. They ask clients to email or call them to share details about their progress with using their products during the first few months. And their product selections include cleansers, cosmetics, masks & peels, moisturizers, sunscreens, topical medications, vitamins; like BENZOYL Peroxide Medication, Glycolic Gel to help prevent new acne and reduce scarring, Sunscreen Cream to help prevent sunburn and pore clogging, and miscellaneous items like sponges and applicators to use with their products.

AcneControl Thera Line

Developed by Biomani Scientific SkinCare, this product line was formulated by a physician specifically to treat acne. It features sebum production and oil control properties, acne bacteria destroyer, acne preventative measures, dead skin cell exfoliation and removal, pore minimizing treatments, white and black head dissolvent and prevention treatment and skin soothers. Their product line includes TheraGel, containing acne-causing bacteria Benzoyl peroxide, Salicylic acid and Sulfur to help with acne treatment and prevention. (Results have been reported in as little as six weeks of use.) Another product in their line up is a therapeutic cleanser containing tea tree and botanical extracts that help control oil and remove makeup and extra pore-clogging sebum and dirt, boasting immediate results. They also have a therapeutic toner, Sun TheraCare and TheraScrub to aid in skin care.

Acne-Ltd III

This is a new topical treatment that destroys bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses in areas where applied. Compacted and highly concentrated with Zinc oxide, Iron oxide, Sulfur, Sodium chloride, Polyethylene glycol and Manganesium sterate, you simply glide the product's applicator over clean, wet skin (infected area only). Blackhead elimination and pore clearing begins in the infected areas at once, moisturizing, not aggravating, the skin in the process.

Acnesil

This topical cream's active ingredients include non-skin drying Melaleuca alternifolia, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. It has been reported to reduce whiteheads, when applied at the first sign of a breakout, doesn't dry out skin and can be used for larger infected areas or smaller targeted spots. The cream can speed up the length of time it takes to heal, helping completely remove all traces of acne.

Acne Spot Dry

This non-irritating, hypoallergenic blemish treatment by DAK Pharmaceuticals is made of Aluminum Magnesium Silicate, Camphor, Iron Oxides, Salicylic Acid, Sulfur and Zinc Oxide. Blot it on trouble spots and it fights acne-causing bacteria and dries out the problem areas including the blemishes themselves. Immediate results have been reported.

Acnevention

This pimple treatment, also by DAK Pharmaceuticals, contains Chitosan Ascorbate, Glycolic Acid, Green Tea Extract, Kola Nut Extract, Hexylene Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Salicylic Acid, and Ubiquinone (CoQ10). Similar to Acne Spot Dry, this product features these benefits: it destroys harmful bacteria, dries blemishes, unclogs pores, heals damaged skin, moisturizes, helps prevent scars, nourishes and soothes, and helps prevent the return of blemishes. When used, this product leaves a skin soft and refreshed.


The movement away from customary topical treatments for acne should not be taken lightly. Serious consideration and consultation must be sought. A laser treatment for acne puts you at the doorway of surgery. This must not be taken lightly.

Today the human face is operated on so much more than any other body part. The vast majority of the work done on the face is elective work. Which means, in almost all cases, you have to pay, there is no insurance coverage.

If you're contemplating seeking this form of treatment, ask your insurance company whether they pay for this type of work. You need to be financially fortified when you wade into these waters.

Botox injections, laser hair removal, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, eyelid surgery, and acne laser treatment represent only a few of the elective areas. When you hear the word elective from you insurance representative, you need to reach into your own pocket.

To the women who suffer with acne and acne scars, I feel your pain. 90% of all cosmetic procedures performed in 2004 were performed on women. The most startling aspect comes when we hear that compared with 2003, that figure represents a 50% increase!

Mind you, medical science has made fantastic strides via new technology, but someone has to make the choice to lie on the table. Medical research is driven to were the niche markets are. (Hey! That's internet talk!).

The year over year increase for nonsurgical procedures rose by approximately 60%! That is surprising but understandable. The mind boggling technological breakthroughs in medicine are surely undergirding that figure. But again I say, people are making the decision to climb up on these tables.

Americans spent over $13 billion last year on face work. Guess what? A whopping 30% of the pie came from the doctor's office. They're smiling all the way to the bank with those types of figures. Almost makes you feel like they're not going to try and stamp out the acne goose. It lays the golden egg!

The final decision to seek laser procedure for your acne scars is totally yours. But it should be taken in consultation with family and appropriate medical professionals.

Consider the following possible complications which may arise using a laser procedure.
?Milia, they're small white bumps. It's possible they may appear in the lasered area.
?Hyperpigmentation, lighter skin discoloration, and sometimes hypopigmentation, darker skin discoloration. May arise in the laser-treated areas.
?Return of the dreaded cold sore. Again around the laser-treated area.
?You may need to take an antibiotic for seven to 10 days afterwards, to cover the risk of infection.
?Swelling is common after the procedure.
?Scarring may occur, although this is rare.
?Smokers will have to drop their habit during this procedure. This is probably far and away the best ?complication? of all.

There is so much more to consider when contemplating using laser-treatment on acne scars. Always seek consultation before you make any final decisions.
