Unfortunately since so many people, both young and old, suffer from moderate to severe acne, researchers are always busy trying to find the latest and greatest new acne treatment. Acne sufferers spend millions of dollars each year trying to find the perfect treatment, or trying to rid themselves of unsightly, embarrassing acne scars. There are many promising new acne treatments available today that show a lot of promise in treating acne, even for people who have tried everything to no avail. Before you decide a new acne treatment is for you, seek the advice of your doctor, as they all may not be designed to treat your particular type of acne.
Many dermatologists are suggesting their acne patients try a new acne treatment that helps to annihilate acne causing bacteria, and minimize the oil glands in the skin, preventing further breakouts. This is a laser acne treatment that uses heat combined with a yellow-green light applied directly to troublesome areas.
Another new acne treatment is called Blue Light, and helps kill bacteria that cause acne, usually found in the oil glands. The good thing about this new acne treatment is that it doesn't hurt, and there are very rarely any side effects from it. It can take several sessions for this treatment to be effective, depending on the severity of your condition. Each session usually only takes about fifteen minutes or so, depending on what your doctor feels is best for you.
Microdermabrasion and chemical peels are very popular new acne treatments. These treatments help take off dead layers of skin cells, unclog the pores, and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the growth of healthy new cells. These therapies have actually been around for quite some time, but were used for other purposes, mainly to remove unwanted scars and damage caused by the sun.
The last new acne treatment I have to tell you about can be quite painful, and can even damage the skin, so it isn't used or recommended very often, it is called diode laser treatment. This treatment actually destroys your skin's oil glands, which works to eliminate acne in people whose acne is known to be caused by oily skin. After this treatment, you can expect your skin to be very red and inflamed, which will go away over time. Your doctor may choose to use a local anesthetic agent to help lessen the pain during treatment, but you will very likely still be uncomfortable for the duration of the procedure.
If you would like to find out more information on some of the new acne treatments, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will be able to tell you all of the pros and cons of each new acne treatment, as well as help you decide how effective it might be in treating your acne. No one has yet found an acne cure, so there will always be new acne treatments and research studies being done, so if you don't find the answer you are looking for right away, you may eventually hit the jackpot, so don't give up!
