Skincare products only reach the surface of the skin, and cannot always change the skin’s behavior. You may be able to shrink pores and reduce inflammation temporarily, but if you have severe acne, the problem lies deeper within the skin’s surface.
Fortunately, there are several treatments and plastic surgery procedures that can help treat acne and improve your skin’s texture, contact Brian Evans Plastic Surgery for more details. These treatments include photofacials, laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Brian Evans Plastic Surgery center facility will help you choose the right acne treatment for your skin. 
ACNE SURGERY: This treatment method really speeds up acne clearing and appearance by manually getting rid of blackheads and whiteheads. A round loop extractor is used to apply uniform smooth pressure to dislodge the material. Lesions that offer resistance are loosened by inserting a pointed instrument to carefully expose the contents.
INTRALESIONAL CORTICOSTEROID THERAPY: If one or a number of painful acne cysts develop, instant relief is on hand with this very painless treatment procedure. Each cyst is given a single injection of a dilute cortisone solution, using an ultrathin needle.
Laser and light therapy. Laser- and light-based therapies reach the deeper layers of skin without harming the skin’s surface. Laser treatment is thought to damage the oil (sebaceous) glands, causing them to produce less oil. Light therapy targets the bacterium that causes acne inflammation. These therapies may also enhance skin texture and decrease the appearance of scars, so they may be good treatment choices for people with both active acne and acne scars.
Dermatologists will make use of very aggressive treatment methods to try to stop the progression of serious acne. They will try to stop it in its tracks while at the same time, work to prevent permanent scarring.
Oral antibiotics and medications such as accutane, may be used at this stage as well as drainage techniques and surgical incision, also known as Acne Surgery. Other acne treatment methods like injections of corticosteriods can be utilized.
Melting away cysts over a number of days is what this is mainly used for. The acne therapy selected by your doctor will be matched to the seriousness of the condition affecting your skin.
Acne laser treatment for scars
Acne laser treatment has also been tried recently in a related form of skin disease called Acne Inversa, caused by sweat gland inflammation. This chronic disease is identified by inflamed abscesses inside the groin and underarms, and rarely on the scalp. The normal acne treatment of oral antibiotics usually assist you by controlling the condition, but the scarring left by the abscesses can be severe enough to limit movement, and is not always helped by cortisone injections. Acne laser treatment may offer a less invasive treatment than full surgery, and together with other acne medications such as Isotretinion, acne scars may be a thing of the past for these patients.
Acne Treatment Guide
Chemical Peels and Dermabrasion
This includes the application of an efoliate, like glycolic acid, to the affected areas. Sometimes, microdermabrasion is used as an alternative. The result is the peeling off of the top skin layers that opens comedones, and since the pores are no longer clogged, acne is eliminated.
If you’re frustrated with acne products, consider contacting Dr. Brian Evans to get your acne under control.
