Treating acne medically:

• Skin care products

Skin care products have to be used cautiously as they can easily block pores and even react when used with make-up. Our expertteam will recommend products that will best suit your skin to bring out successful results.

• Medical Treatment for Acne Removal

A variety of over-the-counter products are available for acne treatment including topical benzoyl peroxide (BP), retinoids, antibiotics, oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy and isotretinoin.  Other factors to consider are psychological impact of acne, ensuring treatment routine is followed consistently, diet intake and examination by an endocrinologist if required.

Monotherapy options for acne treatmentcan include Benzoyl peroxide which is harmless and efficient in usage and can also be used in topical combination products inregimens treating mild to severe acnes condition.

Benzoyl peroxide is another effective acne treatment as it reduces the growth of antibiotic-resistant Propionibacterium acnes when applied with topical or systemic antibiotics.

Topical retinoids can be used as monotherapy for treatment of severe acne conditions in children or adolescents and also in combination products and regimes.

It is not advised to not use topical antibiotics as monotherapy for acne scar treatment, as their effect is very slow in creating resistance. If topical antibiotics are required to be used for over 2 weeks, topical benzoyl peroxide should be combined with it.

Doxycycline and minocycline can also be used for acne treatment. They need fewer doses and can be taken with food. If you are using Doxycycline ample sunscreen should be applied and protective clothing should be worn during the entire term of the treatment as it tends to sensitize the skin against UV rays.

Acne scar treatment in cases where scarring is very harsh or where adolescents have refractory acne it is advised to use Isotretinoin.It is recommended that it should be taken with counselling to ensure there are no side effects.

For all types of severe acne scar removal a regimen involving fixed portion mixtures of topical medication can be effective.

The laser spectrum in our IPL is so effective that along with destroying skin bacteria that cause acne it impedes future breakouts. This leads to healthy and fresh looking skin without having to apply other medication or topical creams.

Fotona Ablative and collagen stimulating laser:

Fotona lasers work on acne scars by flattening the scar edges using ablative laser which removes layers of the skin to even the scared skin, Fotona’s Er:YAG laser wavelength is ideal for gentle ablative scar revision. The Er:YAG laser safely and effectively provides the minimal penetration depth required for light resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, helping to improve skin texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled. The laser gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin below. Laser resurfacing is a fast, safe and simple procedure.

The Nd:YAG laser is non ablative laser perfectly complements the Er:YAG laser’s ablative action with the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin to create thermal effects without damaging the skin surface. Compared to conventional Nd:YAG technologies, Fotona’s proprietary VSP pulses create virtually instantaneous temperature increases that are limited to the targeted structures only. No unnecessary energy is deposited into the skin.
