The Most Effective Ways to Treat and Prevent Acne

Is Science Redefining Clear Skin?

(ARA) – Image is everything for a lot of guys. Whether you want to look good for a date, impress the ladies at the nightclub or present a professional image in the workplace, the last thing you need is for a pimple to appear on your face.

Whether you’re 25 or 45, it’s bound to happen though. Just by their very nature, guys are prone to pimples. They spend a lot of time at the gym, which is a hot, humid environment; and they’re pretty active so they sweat a lot. When sweat combines with skin oils, dirt and bacteria get trapped in the pores, often leading to blackheads and pimples.

But there are things you can do to minimize the appearance of facial blemishes. If you aren’t doing so already, take these preventive measures:

* Drink plenty of water.
Staying hydrated (drinking at least 64 ounces of water daily) helps detoxify the body from the inside out.

* Exercise regularly.
This will increase blood circulation and oxygen flow to the skin, which may help with acne prevention.

* Shower immediately after sweating.
This will prevent dirt and bacteria that gets trapped in the pores from turning into pimples.

Even if you follow this process religiously, there always seem to be some pimples you can’t prevent. Once those appear, you may be tempted to slather on creams and gels. Yet often times these determined pimples seem almost topical resistant. Even the best known topical brands are inconvenient to use, seem to take a long time to penetrate into the skin, and can often lead to discoloration or irritation.

Prominent dermatologists have found that the most effective way to treat acne is with heat, a practice almost as old as time. Today the celebrity jet setters use ‘laser’, ‘light’, or the latest, Thermal Pulse Technology, to improve the skin clearing effects of heat. But it all started centuries ago when people would travel to volcanic sulfer springs and submerge their bodies in the hot water to cure their acne. People don’t do that anymore, but in Russia, teenagers have been known to place extinguished cigarette butts on their pimples to make them go away. In Argentina, they’ll rub a ring until it gets warm then place it on the blemish.

“We have things a lot easier here in the United States,” says Luiz Da Silva, inventor of ThermaClear, an FDA-cleared professional grade medical device that’s now approved for personal in-home use. “We’ve been able to take the tried and true anti-bacterial benefit of heat and improve its effect and application using highly advanced pulse technology similar to laser. The result – faster, clearer skin at the touch of a button. It’s truly amazing.”

What makes ThermaClear so effective is its proprietary Thermal Pulse Technology that neutralizes acne causing bacteria, using a unique “Two Second” treatment application time. The device is able to quickly treat visible surface blemishes, as well as those blemishes that are beginning to form deep down under the skin, and neutralize them before they ever surface.

To use, simply turn on the device, place the treatment tip on your pimple and press the pulse button to send healing thermal energy directly where the bacteria is forming. “This neutralizes the bacteria so it ceases to multiply, and allows your body to win the war against the blemish. Treatment time is only two seconds per pimple,” says Da Silva.

In an FDA-reviewed clinical study, ThermaClear was proven to treat pimples quickly, safely and effectively, clearing pimples in as little as 24 hours. Available without a prescription for home use, ThermaClear gives you a fast, easy and affordable professional grade treatment for pimples and breakouts. And unlike those old-fashioned treatments, you don’t have to keep buying a new supply or new expensive components every few weeks, since this device can be used over and over again without any monthly tip replacement.

There are many types of acne treatments ranging from home remedies, prescriptions, and over the counter products available for acne sufferers.  It can be hard to understand which treatments are best for you. Use this handy guide to the top ten acne treatments to help you decide which treatments suit your skin type and break out issues.

One: See A Doctor

If your acne is severe or tends to scar as it heals, over the counter and home remedies probably won’t help you. Your best treatment option is to see a dermatologist and receive a prescription acne medication. There are many topical and oral medications on the market that can effectively treat acne, but they should always be used under the direct care of a physician.

Two: Lasers

If you have suffered from acne for a long time, chances are you have scarring issues. Laser treatments have proven an effective means of removing acne scars and even helping to clear up existing acne. The process is a bit expensive, but most patients feel that the treatment is well worth the cost. Talk to your doctor if you are interested in having a laser procedure.

Three: Chemical Peels

Plastic surgeons have found that by doing a simple procedure called a chemical peel, they can remove blemishes off the surface of the skin. This procedure is done on an outpatient basis and has a bonus effect of smoothing down fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

Four: Diet

Doctors agree that for the most part, acne isn’t caused by eating too many greasy foods or consuming too much chocolate. However, if your acne is caused by a hormonal imbalance, such as the acne caused by Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome, it can be treated through diet. By consuming a diet low in carbohydrates, many PCOS sufferers find their hormones are naturally balances, causing their cystic acne to decrease.

Five: Vitamins

Many vitamins contain antioxidants which can help you to stay healthy. They can also help your skin to stay healthy. Vitamin E and Vitamin C are especially good for their bacteria fighting properties.

Six: Water

Water flushes out toxins and impurities from your body and from your skin. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day can go a long way in improving the condition of your skin and helping your win the fight against breakouts.

Seven: Exfoliation

When you exfoliate your skin you slough off the dead skin cells that make your complexion dull. You also open up your pores allowing your face cleanser to penetrate deep below the surface of your skin, where it can do the most good.

Eight: Gentle Cleansing

Always choose soaps and facial cleansers that are gentle to your skin. If a product causes your face to tingle or sting, you should avoid it. Using a product that is too harsh can actually increase breakouts.

Nine: Moisturizer

It is just as important to moisturize your skin as it is to cleanse it. Always end your skin care routine with an oil free moisturizer.

Ten: Benzoyl Peroxide

A small dab of medicated cream is a great way to quickly treat an existing blemish.

“Acne is the most common skin problem in America today,” says Dr. Hema Sundaram, a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology and a dermatologist who practices near Washington, D.C. “But people shouldn’t assume acne is not a real problem simply because it is so common. It’s important for adult sufferers and parents of acne suffering teens to learn how to know when acne requires medical treatment by a trained professional.”

Untreated moderate to severe acne can scar a teenager’s skin and contribute to serious, long-lasting self esteem issues, experts agree. “Acne can be mild, moderate or severe,” Sundaram notes. “There are distinct treatments that are appropriate and most effective at each level of the problem.”

Mild Acne

Contrary to folklore, frequent face washing or foregoing chocolate or greasy foods won’t solve an acne problem — mild, moderate or severe. Acne is caused by bacteria that thrive in clogged skin pores.

Millions of Americans, both adults and teens, have acne, and for most, the outbreaks are mild. The occasional whitehead or blackhead probably requires no treatment at all and will fade away in a few days. Those who don’t want to wait for nature to take care of the problem may find an over-the-counter topical medication will help speed healing and reduce inflammation. Mild acne - also known as non-inflammatory - is not likely to scar the skin if cared for properly.

Moderate Acne

With moderate acne, outbreaks are more frequent. Whiteheads become red and inflamed, and may develop puss. Those who suffer from moderate acne should see a dermatologist to determine a course of treatment that will likely include prescription medication. The most successful treatments use oral antibiotics to attack the inflammation. Untreated, moderate acne can scar the skin and cause many teens to experience self esteem and social acceptance problems.

Severe Acne

People who suffer from severe acne experience painful cysts that can be puss-filled or solid masses beneath the skin. These cysts are found not just on the face but on other areas of the body as well, including the back, chest and neck. Left untreated, this type of inflammatory acne is likely to cause severe physical and emotional scars. Anyone with acne should be seen by a dermatologist if their acne is uncontrolled or worsening. It is especially imperative that teenagers with moderate to severe acne see a dermatologist to avoid physical and psychological scars.

While antibiotics have had some success in treating severe acne, a ground-breaking, Minocin PAC, is the first to use a powerful oral antibiotic to neutralize the bacteria that cause acne and leading-edge skin care products to calm the redness and inflammation associated with severe acne. Each Minocin PAC includes a 60-count bottle of antibiotic capsules, and calming wipes, a calming serum and a calming masque specially formulated to soothe skin and help control acne.

Acne is a condition that affects almost everyone at some time in their lives. According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 85 percent of adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 24 develop the disorder. And although it is most common among adolescents, some people continue to be affected into their forties and fifties.

There are so many acne products on the market that it can be difficult to choose what’s best for you or your child. Even among medical researchers there is debate over which acne treatments are the most effective.

“Most products either don’t work very well or have a litany of side effects,” says Amy Baker, founder of Nature’s Cure, an innovative health and beauty products company. “Acne has internal and external causes, and needs to be treated both inside and outside the body,” she explains.

Nonprescription Treatments

Common over the counter treatments typically contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid — usually in a cream or gel. These medicines take about two to four weeks to work, but only clear the acne to a point, because they don’t address the source of the problem. They also need to be used continually to keep fighting the acne, and as a result some patients experience skin irritation, burning or redness.

Prescription Treatments

Antibiotics in a topical form are often prescribed as an acne treatment. They work by clearing the skin of bacteria, but often cannot clear up the more deep-seated cases. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline and minocycline are more effective for severe cases of acne because they work systemically. However, they can cause such side effects as photosensitivity (higher risk of sunburn), upset stomach, dizziness and skin discoloration, and must be taken for as long as four to six months. A further drawback is that doctors are becoming more reluctant to prescribe antibiotics due to the increase in antibiotic resistance.

For very severe and disfiguring acne, there is a prescription drug called Accutane that has been successful in cases that don’t respond to other treatments. However, it also has serious side effects like joint and muscle pain, eye irritation, hair thinning, and intestinal, urinary and headache symptoms. In addition, it has been associated with an increased risk of depression and suicide.

For people searching for less toxic ways to treat acne, there is an innovative over-the-counter treatment called Nature’s Cure. “Because acne is caused by a combination of factors, including internal triggers that can cause imbalances inside the body, and an overproduction of oil and trapped bacteria on the outside, the most effective way to treat it is by addressing both areas,” explains Baker. “The all natural treatment includes a homeopathic tablet to rebalance the body, and a cream that works to clear up existing pimples at the same time.”

Consumers like Sandra Loppnow, a cosmetologist from Caledonia, Wis., are happy to find a natural acne treatment. She and her four daughters spent hundreds of dollars on various treatments, with no success. They saw Nature’s Cure and decided it was worth a shot; within a month, every one of the girls was almost completely rid of her acne and Loppnow finally gained control of her acne at the age of 48. “I was skeptical at first, but I liked the idea of the all-natural tablets,” she says. “I couldn’t believe how well it worked, and it was so easy with just two pills a day. It changed our lives! I recommend it to everyone.”

Unlike other remedies, Nature’s Cure is available in a male and female version. “Male and female bodies and hormonal compositions are different, and you have to address those differences when you are treating acne,” says Baker.

This homeopathic treatment is made from minerals, herbs and other natural extracts that activate the body’s natural defenses. Because these ingredients are in minute concentrations, they trigger the body to heal itself without side effects. There is also a two-part body acne treatment that includes tablets and a medicated body spray that can be sprayed from any angle to treat hard to reach places like the back and neck.
