No More Acne

Posts Tagged ‘Light Theraphy’

There are several stages of acne, or should I say, three types of acne conditions:

1) Mild Acne
2) Moderate Acne
3) Severe Acne

In which case, all three would require your attention as soon as possible. Let’s take the mild acne for instance, it is of course the simplest form of acne and can be treated by simply washing your face regularily or cleaning the area where acne is present with luke warm water. Apply a mild acne topical solution like Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. Both can be found and purchased over the counter at your local drug store or pharmacy.

Now for moderate acne, this is usually acne that would cover over 50% of your face or somewhere on the body.  Not yet the severe stage, but can come close to it if not treated right away.  At this stage, I would suggest visiting your dermatologist to get more test done on your skin so that you can be treated with a more stronger acne regimen.  Some treatments that would be offered at time of visit could be something like a “blue light theraphy” treatment or you may be prescribed oral medications or even a topical solution for back acne treatment.
