Acne is a very common skin condition that can occur at any age, but more commonly affects teenagers and young adults.
The exact cause remains a mystery, but research has revealed four key factors: excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. These in turn are affected by hereditary or genetic factors, hormones, menstruation or emotional stress.
Although promises of overnight results and acne cures sound great, the truth is: overnight treatment or immediate cure for acne does not exist. Acne treatment takes time — about four to eight weeks.
It’s best that a consultation is made with a dermatologist, who will plan a treatment schedule that may include: 1) comedone extraction, 2) skin medications, 3) use of mild skin cleansers, 4) antibiotics, 5) birth control pills, 6) steroid injections, and 7) possibly, an oral medication called iso-tretinoin.
One of the newest treatment options for acne is the use of the E-Max Blue Light — this machine uses natural photodynamic therapy with radio frequency (RF) — that allows for highly selective targeting of: 1) oil glands – to reduce oil gland activity and, 2) acne bacteria – effectively controlling bacterial infection.
If you’re after a more rapid resolution of acne, then the E-Max Blue Light is a good option.
