Acne Treatment
Acne Treatment
Thanks to advances in medicine and understanding, acne treatment is easy to find today. Almost every type of acne can be treated with relative ease. There are a few facts to remember when looking for acne treatment.
Acne Treatment Takes Time
The treatments for acne that are over hyped on television offer little change of overnight changes. Acne does not suddenly clear itself up overnight. With a little patience acne treatments will work but it generally takes about 4 to 7 weeks to start to show improvement. Once the acne begins to improve, you need to continue the acne treatment to stop the acne from appearing again. If you do not see any changes in 4 to 7 weeks then you should talk to your doctor and/or look for another product to try. All good things come to those who wait, and before you know it, you will feel and look better.
Acne Treatment is Different for Everyone
Everyone has different types of skin, eats differently, and lives with different levels of stress. Treatment that works fine for one person may have the opposite effects for another. Acne treatment can involve many complex factors and involve things such as skin type, the initial cause of the acne, and the type of the skin lesions may appear. Other factors such as age may play a role in the length or types of treatment.
Doctor Assisted Acne Treatment
The help of a dermatologist (a doctor trained in skin conditions and acne treatment) may be helpful for some acne sufferers. Your dermatologist may examine you for other medical conditions, diet, lifestyle, age, stress level, environmental
factors, fluid intake, and more. The doctor will also be able to access powerful treatments that are not available over the counter.
The main goal of acne treatment is to stop scarring, or at lease to minimize it. Other important goals are reduction in the number of lesions, and to reduce the stress that accompanies an imperfect face. Many dermatologists will choose an acne treatment that involves prescription drugs. These drugs may involve either topical (applied to the skin) or taken orally. The doctor may recommend the use of more than one medication simultaneously.
Acne will respond to drugs or other treatments the best when started early. The earlier the acne treatment begins the less chance for scarring or other related problems. Progress may be slowed by takes other medications that interfere with the acne medication so always check with you doctor when in doubt.
Acne Treatment Summary
The path to the best form of treatment may involve testing different medications to find the one that works best for you. Over the counter, or doctor assisted acne treatment is up to you. Do not forget that proper treatment of acne takes time, there is no overnight cure. Always follow the directions on the label of your acne product as closely as possible, as well as any information you receive from a doctor, or health care worker.
