Acne works like this: bacteria and dust are often present on the facial tissue, especially after a long hard day, when you got out, encountered people, drove your car to work. The external or environmental factors can often show their bad side, when dusts and bacteria that is around and that sets on the facial tissue, gets mixed up with the natural sebum secretions, which is the natural oil that protects the skin tissue and it is delivered by the sebaceous glands under the main epithelial tissue skin.


When these mixes are obstructing the natural oils to reach the skins surface, pimpled pustules with purulent content emerge, due to the fact that the tissue in that region has got infected. The dust particles, dead cell layers and bacteria can often lead to more complex acne formations, like the nodular one, where basically nodules form on the facial tissue, requiring a different derma fighting approach all together.


The light acne treatment form is known for five years now, and it often creates the desired effect.


The light acne treatment is a newly implemented method that seals up the nodule and clears away the scars, with the help of antibiotics of course, so that the infections are kept away.

Dermabrasion -This is a very fashionable measure of dealing with scar tissue that appears on the facial skin and has a clear impact when it comes to deep acne formation scars. They are so popular because many of the health and wellness saloons that treat various skin or derma conditions have this technological device.

It has proven to be one of the more effective treatments that exist nowadays on the market. The light rays kill the diseased skin cells and improve the proficiency of the healthy one that eventually will remake the facial tissue, regain its previous smoothness, stops the excess oil releases of the sebaceous glands, and cleans up existing zit formations, redness and inflammations.

The injections with collagen solution -This therapy is mainly meant for creating a single level on the surface of the facial tissue and giving this whole thing an aesthetic look. It injects some carefully measured quantities of protein in to the body and this helps filling up the so called derma gap that the scar forms into you facial skin.

The transfer of fat antilogous - This means that the scar tissue formations that are produced by the nodular cystic skin affection – which is one of the most severe acne cases there are, are cured by this dermatological method.

This can be a complex intervention and it is often done by surgeons more than dermatologists. This means that a portion of your body fat that is near the skin surface, for instance the one from for foot, or from the palm of your hand, is cut down, then mixed up with some solutions and reattached in the parts where the nodular cystic acne has created the scars. This is very efficient because in a short period the skin will regenerate and it will encourage the scar itself to heal up pretty good.

The ultraviolet light acne treatment is today the latest thing in dermatology. When trying to diminish the effects and to prevent further on cases of acne, the medical staff dermatologists are divided. Some of them recommend this kind of treatment because they say it really does work in delivering the desired no acne effect.

<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->

It all starts with a fifteen minute session that is not so expensive and has no immediate side effects like in other forms of acne treatments. The facial skin is the best surface to work with, because it has a different composition and the acne developed here are prone to affect you more than those developed on the back, for instance. So…the treatment consists in some regular weekly visits to the medical derma labs where they have this kind of ultraviolet light acne treatment machine.


The facial skin is oiled up with a thick layer of special lotion formula that covers the entire surface of the face. This cream is similar to the sun screen lotions and it has almost the same purpose, in creating a protective layer, similar to a barrier that stays between the rays and the skin tissue.

The eyes of course, are covered with some modern high tech pair of goggles, and this is also a protection method from the rays that will be emitted by the ultraviolet light apparatus. After the fifteen minutes have passed, a proper face wash is required so that the lotion that was previously applied is removed, and the only advice afterwards is that the patients should avoid longer sun exposures for at least two hours before the light therapy.

The visible effects start to become more obvious when a certain time period has passed. Usually it takes about two or three days but to really see the effects, the treatment has to go on for at least 3 sessions. At first, some of the already existing inflammations and redness areas that surround the zits start to disappear. After these visible forms, the zits start to clean up and the previous existing scars in the tissue layers of the skin’s surface are starting to cover up.

The ultra violet light acne therapy has become more like a fashionable method in the battle against zits and other effects that this disease creates, and in some part of the United States the machines are installed in the hospitals, private derma Clinique and so on.


However, in many of the cases the effects are basically unknown over a long term. Being a very recent techno medical discovery the long term effects that this therapy might have on the skin is not known. The main advantages of this kind of cure lies in the fact that ninety percent of all the patients, who suffered from mild or moderate cases of acne really cleaned up and the facial tissue looks softer and smoother than ever.

Acne is a basic real life nightmare for most of the adolescent teens and unfortunately one fifth of the adult population. Reports made by the specialized medical dermatologists reveal the fact that eight percent of the teens that are between the ages of thirteen and eighteen are prone to develop a form of acne skin affliction.

Although forty five percent of the cases, the acne appears in to a mild form, which can be represented through a few zits once in a while, there are some really problematic and serious acne damage that the facial tissue, the neck region, the back skin and the shoulders or upper arms can suffer. We are talking about the cystic form of acne facial skin condition that can do a lot of irreparable damages through the visible scars that will remain after the proper treatment appliance, available nowadays.


The cystic acne condition is a type of sever hormonal imbalance along with other factors that can worsen the affection. We are saying about the bacterium formations that normally exist in to the skin’s surface layer. But this alone can not lead you to the cystic acne condition. It is when an unfortunate combo with the oily substances that are excreted by the sebaceous glands and the obstruction of these oils in to the hair follicle orifice that creates the perfect environment for the infection to happen.

The bacteria in these layers will create an impact-full infection that will eventually burst out from the hair follicle. This is the worst form of acne affection and even though there are some proper cures available on the market that are capable of diminishing the damages inflicted by it, recurrent cases are still possible, not to mention the remaining scars that inevitably leave their print on your skin.

Today, recent techno – medical discoveries may hold the key for a simple and efficient solution. The search carries on for the discovering of the universally applied acne treatment. We refer to the newly light and laser therapy. This form of acne cure has just appeared in the derma labs and though it is still an experimental subject, some of the sufferers have risked their skin trying it. They claim it really does work, and the effects can be similar to those that the sun rays have on the skin.


It is a rather peculiar method that works with ultra violet and blue rays. The therapy itself consists in a monthly or four times a week visit to the medical specialized dermatologist that operates the light switch apparatus. The first session of this ultraviolet light acne treatment is the longest one, because the skin is firstly introduced to the powers of the rays, and basically we can affirm that is not used to the intensity of which these machines work with. This kind of procedure is mainly recommended for the facial skin acne-s.

Most of the sufferers need a multi targeted closing. Acne is developed in the situatations where one or many other occur: the production of excess sebum secretion, , skin cells die to rapidly, pimpled dots eruptions  and  the release of inflammatory secretions. In order for the treatment to have an effect it is mandatory to mix up with the very own cause of the apparition.

This is why any acne skin treatment written by a dermatologist doctor often requires sufferers to use more than one therapeutically method or medication. Since some of the laser and light therapies target only one cause, a patient’s acne may not resolve. For example, blue-light therapy targets only P. acnes, so acne will resolve only when this is the sole cause. If other factors are present, blue-light therapy will not clear the acne.

There was a test involving the usage of the Puls Lights or heated energy treatment in order to prove its benefits in the medical world and especially in skin related affections.  This was tested on twenty patients that with moderate and mild acne eruptions. They were exposed to the energy heated light puls for half an hour each week, in a period of five weeks. After the treatment time the medical researchers already noticed the first clear skin condition improvement and the ability of shrinking those sebaceous glands, keeping a constant small secretion of sebum and other facial oils and make all the inflammation areas diminish.

The ALA light therapy is another form that can be used to treat acne. The advantages of this treatment are that the therapy itself lasts lesser than in other kind of treatments.

The Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is directly applied to the facial skin and in order to act. Aminolevulinic acid is a medication that manages to increase the sensitivity towards the light. When ALA is used as an acne treatment it must be kept on the facial skin for a short period of time. The actual period of time is set by the severity of your skin affection and the level of sebum your sebaceous glands secret. The next step consists in removing or washing the aminolevulinic acid and exposing the skin with to the light therapy. Since the previous acid makes the skin even more sensitive in order for the light therapy to really show a positive effect, the sufferers are instructed to put on sun cream and other related lotions that they have to not wash for at least forty eight hours after the treatment.

The researches made by the dermatology community had delievered the conclusion that blue or red colored light that follow an aminolevulinic acid treatment is very effective as an acne treatment. However, with all this, the red nuance exposure after the ALA application can damage some tissues (depeding on the length of time the patients had on the aminolevulinic acid) and can cause some undesired effects such as: the darkening of a small area of the facial skin, that is temporary but can look weird just right after the red light exposure, and the development of another dermatological affection known as folliculitis- an inflammable hair bulb and  follicle that can look similar to an acne eruption.

So in conclusion it is better for a acne patient to expose his damaged skin only to the blue light nuance that had no side effects.

Other forms of treatment consist in the Pulsed Dye Laser Light. A treatment that was and still is a rather controversial dermatological debate …in half of the patients this kind of treatment managed to cover scars, prevent future acne bursts and cleaned the redness and swelled areas.

First we must take a brief look at some research studies made in America. The FDA (the American Food and Drug Administration) qualifies the laser equipment as procedure oriented and that more comparative study must be made in order to determine all its effects, both short and long term ones, and to perfect this amazing technology piece. Nowadays on the market there are several existing light or laser treatments that can really make a difference. This is called phototherapy.

A light therapy consists in the blue light effect. This is the best well known acne treatment in this area, and with long term effects in most of the cases. This was approved by the Food and Drug Administration back in the U.S. and has a narrow banded with a high intensity with a blue light display device that can clean the tissue from the acne. This innovative acne treatment works simply by ravaging the whole acne causing bacteria, which lies between the skin tissues and obstruct the oils, such as sebum to pass towards the surface.   The Blue Light acne treatment is also very proficient in fighting the more severe cases of acne eruptions and can heal skin scars, inflammations, redness and the dark or white spots that are relatively commune in each acne scenario.

The previous light treatment was with Ultra Violets but in the long term it had been discovered to damage the whole cell structure, not just the dead one or unnecessary bacteria.  In time patients complained that during the night they had an excess of sebum secretion and even more aggressive attacks on both the face and their backs.

Blue light has no similar problematic after states. This kind of therapy lasts for about four weeks. The standard time is divided into eight sessions that last twenty minutes.

Other forms are the Puls Light or Heated Energy, for short LHE. It consists in exposing the acne sufferer to heated pulsed light that can reduce the quantity of the sebum secretions. This is possible only if you shrink the sebaceous glands. This is very useful in mild acne cases and proven to be not very proficient in the more sever types.
