An equal opportunity nuisance to teenagers and adults, to women and men, acne is not only a skin problem, but can often turn into a psychological hang-up. Treatments range from topical to oral, depending on the extent of the condition. Cystic Acne, an especially severe variant, can result in permanent scarring if not treated early and appropriately. Once the condition is under good control, Glycolic Peels and Microdermabrasions can bring the final touches of improvement to your skin, for even, smooth, scar-free appearance.
For those who feel hesitant about the use of oral antibiotics or Accutane for treatment of Cystic Acne, now there is a new and successful alternative available. The Pulse Dye Laser can be used to clear up the large, red, painful cysts in a series of 3-4 treatments per area. If there is a flare in areas previously untreated, those have to be lasered in the same manner. Unlike Accutane, the laser cannot prevent future cysts, however eventually the areas repeatedly treated stop developing new ones. All this is accomplished without risking the potential side effects of Accutane or long term use of oral antibiotics.
