Acne (Pimples) and Oily Skin Treatment

Nearly all individuals during their teen years are affected to some extent by acne. Acne (pimples) even affects some people well into adulthood, making it the most common type of skin condition. Acne affects both men and women and most commonly occurs on the face, neck, back, chest and upper arms. Although it is generally not considered a serious health condition, it may cause embarrassment and even scarring of the skin in severe cases. In mild to moderate cases, there may be blackheads, whiteheads, or pustules. In severe cases, there are nodules, cysts and abscess which lead to scarring if not treated on time.



Acne is not curable but it is CONTROLLABLE. You may require surgical intervention in the form of comedone extraction, or superficial chemical peel. These are best performed by a dermatosurgeon. Light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that targets acne. Light therapy may be preceded by Salipeel/ glycolic peel to unclog pores. IPL Acne therapy is an effective new light-based therapy now revolutionizing the treatment of acne. The IPL Acne therapy destroys the most common bacteria that cause acne — without drugs, without pain and without downtime. The IPL system has FDA clearance for the treatment of acne.
