How to Treat Acne
Common acne treatments involve the removal of dead skin cells, bacteria, excess oil and irritants. However, the removal of these contributing factors to acne can prove to be a challenge and in themselves often cause acne flare ups.
Basic Acne Treatments
Typical treatments, including benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, exfoliate and remove extra skin, disinfect and clear away oil and or irritants on the surface of the skin. Most treatments significantly dry and irritate the skin, further aggravating acne. For example, benzoyl peroxide releases free radicals that damage skin tissue.
Additional acne method alternatives include antibiotics, topical or ingested. Lastly, you might have heard of accutane, which is an isotretinoin. This acne medication is typically used last and only if the preceding treatments have failed. They focus on reducing sebum production by the sebaceous glands. Unfortunately, they also come with a long list of, often very severe, side effects.
While undergoing lessons on how to treat acne you would learn how to properly clean the skin and rid it of excess oil, bacteria and dead skin cells, however, a successful acne treatment will include a few more tricks. First of all, the removal of the aforementioned acne contributors cannot guarantee the ability of underlying skin tissue to heal properly and replace themselves. Therefore, for complete treatment of acne, one should find an acne solution that both rids the skin of factors that induce acne, while simultaneously stimulating the skin to rejuvenate itself.
Acne Vulgaris Cosmetic Procedures
Some of the methods used to stimulate the body's natural rejuvenating processes include acne laser treatment, chemical peels, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion. The underlying idea behind these methods is the controlled irritation or removal of skin cells to stimulate skin cell replication. The skin cells of the lower layers of the skin divide and create a healthy, new layer. Basically, the loss of these skin cells causes the body to jump start its skin cell renewal processes.
A newer bacteria killing method involves the use of light. Prior, UV light was used until it was discovered to alter cell DNA. The blue light in blue light acne treatment targets the bacteria P. acnes, safely killing it without damage to the skin tissue. This treatment is not a cure for everyone and can be quite expensive, requiring several treatments to reach its desired effect.
Supporting the Skin and Immune System
A complete and balanced diet plays a vital role in this process. Remember, the skin is the body's largest organ and one should keep it nourished and functioning well by supplying a diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Most people do not eat the recommended 3-5 servings of vegetables every day. If you cannot consume fruits and vegetables with enough vitamin A or vitamin B complex, look into synthetic vitamins.
Although there are many vitamins and minerals that play a role in acne appearance, be especially aware of vitamin A and vitamin B complex vitamins in your diet. Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that also strengthens the protective tissue of the skin and can help reduce sebum production. It is involved in the maintenance and repair of skin tissue. Vitamin B complex includes several vitamins. Together they maintain healthy skin and can help relieve stress that plays a major role in causing acne. Some of their roles include ridding the body of toxins, enhancing blood circulation, and maintaining the proper function of adrenal glands and the immune system.
It is important to support the immune system. Did you know that what you see as acne is actually the body's immune response to foreign bodies and cell damage? There are some topical systems that help support the immune system, right at the site. Products with natural antimicrobial properties can help you support the immune system in its response to rid the body of antigens without the drying and other harsh side effects of traditional prescription therapies. New developments in natural treatments have shown results in reducing bacterial infection by helping send signals to your system to increase the release of the skin's own natural antimicrobial peptides.
Unfortunately, side effects of your immune system working are the unsightly inflammation and redness that makeup can't hide. Most treatments to reduce inflammation are unnatural and have immunosuppressant effects. If you really want to treat acne, the best acne treatment will soothe inflammation naturally and help moderate inflammatory reactions, without depleting your body's germ fighting abilities.
