Acne Treatments From Lotions To Lights
Acne, if not treated, can become a major problem. This disorder while not just affecting young people and teenagers is probably a major psychological problem for all suffering with it. Mild cases will usually clear up with out treatment if diet and fastideous washing and cleansing are observed. For the moderate or serious cases there are a great variety of treatments available. If you do a little research, you will surely find just the right treatment for your condition. Some of the more common treatments available are listed below.
One of the lower cost treatments is the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System. The manufacturer claims that this system has a combination of therapies for acne-prone skin including skin polishing acne cleanser, sun shield and day lotion. There is a lotion which is used overnight to kill bacteria and treat inflamed skin and help to prevent additional problems. Acne occurs under the skin where it is usually not detected for weeks before a breakout becomes apparent. So, prevention is always better than waiting for the problem to become visible.
Another product is the Proactiv Solution 3 Step System Kit. This system contains a two month supply of their essential Proactiv® Solution system. The manufacturer claims that this system was developed by dermatologists and if used as directed will help to heal and stop breakouts at their source. There is a cleanser to remove excess oil, a toner for skin balance and a repairing lotion to help attack bacteria. This is one of many systems that contain a variety of ingredients to clean the skin, remove oil and attack bacteria. A little research will help you to choose the right system for your condition.
While many of the treatments are lotion or cleanser based, one such treatment, Verilux ClearWave Deluxe Acne Light, claims to use the power of light to stimulate the bodys natural processes to help clear skin. This system claims that by using blue and red light waves similar to the sun’s rays, and which do contain harmful UV, bacteria will be romoved and inflamation of skin pores will be reduced. The suggested treatment is to use this special light source for 15 minutes a day for 12 weeks. They further claim that this will replace the use of topical creams and other antibiotics. Goggles should be worn while using this light system.
As you do your research you will be amazed at the various treatments available. While some of them are relatively expensive, if they help you in your war against acne, the investment may seem a small price to pay.
