The length of acne treatment varies from person to person, depending on the severity of the condition and the type of treatment used. Generally, improvement can be seen within a few weeks, but it can take up to 6 months or more to achieve complete skin clearing.
Acne scars can be treated, but they cannot be completely removed. Treatment options include:
- CO2 Laser: Fractional CO2 laser is an effective option for treating acne scars and It works by emitting tiny laser beams that penetrate the skin, creating controlled micro-lesions. This process triggers a complex healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling: An innovative and effective option for treating acne scars, offering a non-invasive approach with significant results. Unlike traditional microneedling, this procedure combines the benefits of microneedling with RF energy, stimulating collagen and elastin production at a deeper level.
- Chemical peel: Chemical peels use acids to remove damaged layers of skin, revealing new, more even skin.
- Filler injections: Filler injections can be used to fill in areas of skin damage caused by scars, making them less visible.
If you have severe acne that doesn't respond to home treatments, it's important to see a dermatologist. A dermatologist can evaluate your condition and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
There is no conclusive scientific evidence that any particular food causes or worsens acne. However, some people believe that certain foods, such as dairy, refined sugar, and fatty foods, can worsen acne. It is important to note whether certain foods affect your skin.
Yes, you can wear makeup if you have acne. Choose non-comedogenic products that won't clog your pores. It's also important to completely remove your makeup every night.
