top
cosmetic surgeons for acne scars
The
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s 2007 Statistics Report
lists blepharoplasty as one of the top three surgical procedures by the
top cosmetic surgeons for acne scars; laser
skin resurfacing is listed among the top five non-surgical procedures.
To accommodate demand for laser skin resurfacing that produces long
term results and minimal downtime. LaserTight will feature the
first
portable CO2 fractional hand piece, the SelectScan. The portable hand
piece allows doctors to convert their CO2 lasers into a fractional
system.
It is true that several deeper scars
often do not respond well to laser
acne
scarring treatment. Acne can, of course, leave acne
scarring.
Unfortunately, there is no cure-all for acne scarring at this time but
there are procedures to help ease the cosmetic appearance of the skin.
Do not be fooled by non-invasive procedures or over the counter creams
claiming to instantly remove acne scarring.
Many physicians now agree that combining
the oldest technology, CO2
laser, with the latest, fractional laser, allows physicians to provide
their patients the best of both technologies.
Another more traditional
method for treating acne scarring is dermabrasion, which uses a
rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument to wear down the
surface of the skin. As the skin heals, a new, smoother layer
replaces the abraded skin It may take a bit longer for skin to heal
using dermabrasion - usually between 10 days and 3 weeks.
There are many lotions and
creams sold at drugstores to help prevent acne and clear it up.
You can try different ones to see which helps. Products with benzoyl
peroxide (say: ben-zoil peh-rok-side) or salicylic (say:
sa-lih-sih-lick) acid in them are usually pretty helpful for treating
acne Benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria that can lead to acne, and
salicylic acid breaks down blackheads and whiteheads.
All forms of acne can be
mild, moderate or severe. Typically, mild acne
is visible in the form of whiteheads and blackheads, sometimes pimples.
With moderate acne, more pimples and pustules are present on the face,
some may appear on the back or chest. And with severe acne, many
nodules develop, often large and sore, over parts of the face, back,
chest and other body areas. This type of acne can lead to
scarring. Actually, lesser cases of acne have been followed by
scarring. So for those with possible nodular acne, seeking advice from
a healthcare provider as soon as possible is recommended.
Sebaceous
glands: Glands in the skin that produce an oily substance called
sebum--these glands are the sites of acne lesions. Sebaceous
glands are attached to hair follicles and are found mostly on the face,
neck, back and chest.
Shaving Skin Care Tip:
Shaving Tip: Electric razors may not shave as close
to the skin;
however, they help with the prevention of acne and other skin breakouts
and flare-ups better.
