Acne Treatment focuses on quick acne cure and avoidance of acne scarring. As acne progresses, the possibility of scarring increases. With surgical and physical procedures doctors hope to bring quick healing to acne. These procedures are mainly performed to drain acne, dry out the oil and reduce the size of sebaceous glands. Let us look at some of these common procedures. Comedone extraction- in this procedure the blackheads and whiteheads are removed by doctor using sterile instruments. The extraction stops further growth. This procedure may be combined with oral or topical treatment. Cyst drainage- large cysts are drained and extracted skillfully by doctors to remove the pus, dead cells, sebum and other matter that is accumulated in the large cysts. This prevents cysts from further growth and scar formation is reduced. Steroid Injection- Sometimes cysts are injected to dry them out with steroid. This gives quick results. Peeling and dermabrasion- with mild chemical peeling and microdermabrasion, the epidermis is cleaned of dead skin cells, the pores are opened and acne is reduced. Laser - Diode laser can be used to treat acne. Light source- some lights such as blue light and green yellow lights are used to kill P.acnes bacteria that creates inflammation in acne. Most of these procedures are used along with topical or oral treatment of acne. The main objective is to treat acne at a stage where scar formation will not take place.
