Treatment of moderately severe acne
Treatment for moderately severe acne usually includes topical agents. In addition, a doctor or dermatologist may prescribe an oral medication, usually for at least six months.

Suitable oral medications include:

Antibiotics such as tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline or erythromycin
In females, oestrogens and antiandrogens such as Diane 35™/Estelle 35™ or spironolactone
Some patients are helped by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents such as ibuprofen or naproxen
For resistant or persistent acne, oral isotretinoin may be more suitable
See your doctor or dermatologist for advice if your skin problem fails to improve within three months or you have severe acne.

Treatment of mild acne
Most patients with mild acne can be treated with topical treatment (gels, solutions and lotions) that can be obtained over-the-counter in New Zealand without prescription. Most people just use topical agents for facial skin as they can be difficult to apply to one’s back. Extra vitamins and minerals have not been proved to help.

Wash affected areas twice daily with a mild cleanser and water or an antiseptic wash.
Acne products should be applied to all areas affected by acne, rather than just put on individual spots.
A thin smear should only be applied to dry clean skin at nighttime.
Acne products may work better if applied in the morning as well.
They often cause dryness particularly in the first 2-4 weeks of use. This is partly how they work. The skin usually adjusts to this.
Apply an oil-free moisturizer only if the affected skin is obviously peeling.
Avoid applying oily cosmetics such as foundation or sunscreen.
It may take several weeks or even months to see convincing improvement.
Discontinue using product if severe irritation results. See your doctor for advice.
Suitable topical agents for mild acne that can be obtained without prescription include:

Antiseptic washes (Acnederm wash™, Benzac™ AC Wash, Dalacin™ T Prewash, Oxy™ Daily Skin Wash)
Mild salicylic acid preparations to exfoliate and unplug the follicles (Neutrogena® Oil-free Acne Wash and many others)
Benzoyl peroxide cream / lotion / gel (PanOxyl™ Acne Gel, Brevoxyl™ Cream, Oxy-10™, Clearasil™ Ultra Acne Cream, Benzac AC Gel)
Azelaic acid (Skinoren™ cream, Acnederm™ medicated lotion)
Hydrogen peroxide in stabilised cream (Crystacide®)
Tea tree oil products
Topical agents for mild acne which require prescription include:

Antibiotics, such as clindamycin solution (Topicil™) or erythromycin solution (Stiemycin™) and gel (Eryacne™) are best used with benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid to reduce the chance of antibiotic resistance.
Retinoids i.e. tretinoin (Retin-A™), isotretinoin (Isotrex™), adapalene (Differin™).
Blue light acne treatment is a new procedure recently found to be safe and helpful for mild to moderate acne.

See your doctor or dermatologist for advice if your pimples fail to clear up within six weeks or you have severe acne.

Severe Acne Treatment

Filed under: Plastic Surgery and Hair & Beauty — Tags: — Nancy @ 12:20 am -0700

Severe acne is characterized by deep cysts, inflammation, extensive damage to the skin and scarring. It requires an aggressive treatment regimen.

Treatment for severe acne requires oral treatment. Patients should be under the care of a dermatologist.

Many patients will be treated with oral isotretinoin.

If this is not suitable, the following may be used:

High dose oral antibiotics for six months or longer
In females, especially those with polycystic ovary syndrome, oral antiandrogens such as oestrogen/cyproterone or spironolactone may be suitable long term. Systemic corticosteroids are sometimes used for their antiandrogenic effect. Flutamide and finasteride also been reported to be of benefit in hyperandrogenic women. At this time, these medicines are registered for treatment of prostatic cancer (and in the case of finasteride, for androgenetic alopecia) in males only, in New Zealand.

Acne Treatment

Filed under: Plastic Surgery and Hair & Beauty — Tags: — Nancy @ 12:12 am -0700

Acneticin is a unique oral acne treatment, that internally treats most signs of acne. Most acne treatments address the problem from the outside with topical creams and cleansers. Many treatments that take the approach of topical acne formulas and systems have proven to be very effective.

However, our individual body chemistries vary greatly from person to person, and so do our individual cases of acne. And there is no one treatment that will work for everyone. If you’ve ever spoken to a dermatologist about your acne(and we hope you have!) they will tell you the same thing. Any product that claims to be a miracle acne treatment that works for everyone isn’t being 100% truthful.

The majority of over-the-counter acne treatments consist of numerous topical cleansers, creams, and masks. For some people these acne treatments aren’t desirable nor effective. Acneticin is an acne treatment for those that have tried everything else without any luck. However, many people have found a combination of topical and internal acne treatments to be extremely effective. Speak with your dermatologist to develop an internal or combination acne treatment.

Acneticin is an over the counter acne treatment, an herbal supplement of sorts actually, that is taken orally. If topical treatments provide little or no results, irritate your skin, or if you just don’t have the time to apply numerous creams, Acneticin may be just what you’re looking for.

Acneticin has a super high success rate. Only 1% of their customers return their order, and all that did return it, got a full refund! With so many acne treatments on the market today, you may be asking, ìis Acneticin the right acne treatment for me?î

We can’t fully answer this question because, once again, everybody has a different profile, and it won’t work for everyone. But Acneticin has worked for a wide spectrum of people and acne symptoms. Whiteheads, blackheads, blemishes, redness, irritation, infected pustules, and more have all been successfully treated with Acneticin.

Again, Acneticin is an acne treatment that is for people that haven’t seen significant results from the many run of the mill topical treatments. Almost all of these topical treatments contain some form of ìcleansing agentî, usually benzoyl peroxide. These agents are very mild acids that ìburn awayî dead skin, allowing younger skin to rise to the surface and flourish.

The only problem is that people with sensitive and/or dark skin may severely irritate their skin with such treatments. For such people, Acneticin is the perfect alternative. Maybe you just haven’t had any prior success, and a new form of acne treatment is needed. Others simply don’t have the time to apply multiple creams and cleansers in the morning, then again at night. Acneticin on the other hand, takes just seconds each day.

If nothing has worked for you in the past, chances are you are looking for an acne treatment that is radically different, and Acneticin is just that. Acneticin works in 3 remarkable ways: balance, detox, and strengthening.

Balance: The natural ingredients found in Acneticin balance hormones, in turn, greatly reducing signs of acne.

Detox: The body is constantly getting worn down by toxins, many of which reside in the skin. As a result, our skin usually sees damage from such toxins, much faster. The natural ingredients help flush the body of toxins, allowing your skin to make progress.

Strengthening: Lastly, Acneticin is packed with essential vitamins and other nutrients. They all help bring strength, health, firmness, and clarity to the skin.
