Body areas to improve

Acne can be irritating, and can dull the appearance of the skin.The dark spots that remain after acne on the skin are caused by inflammation during the skin’s healing process, for this reason, they are also called post-inflammatory pigmentary alterations. In other terms, acne scars or spots occur when normal tissue in the skin is destroyed and replaced with fibrous tissue. When the skin is opened up (such as pop a pimple), and then closes back, this zone can get abnormal pigmentation and texture, and the skin looks different from the rest. Sometimes, when a blood vessel is broken, it can result in a mark that appears more red or purple than brown which is most common in people who are light skinned.

Because each person tends to heal differently, and some have more scars than others, the best way to avoid it is to treat acne with a great skin care routine (this includes to resist picking, poking, or touching a pimple). Usually, people with deeper skin tones may develop darker marks or hyperpigmentation while people with lighter skin tones may notice redness. Likewise, some lifestyle habits like sun exposure, can cause marks and scars to become darker; picking or squeezing pimples creates further inflammation and can lead to more damage too.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin disorder, affecting up to 50 million Americans, and nearly 85 percent of people experience it at some point in their lives. The acne does not always mean chronic pimples and cystic acne. Any person can experiment pimples, especially during times of hormonal fluctuation (such as stress-related events and menstruation).

A spot treatment product has helping to remove only acne spots that already exists as objective, which results in a brighter and better skin. This is why spot treatments are different from other acne treatments.

Actually, it is recommended to use a spot treatment as soon as the patient feels a pimple forming. Nowadays, there are a lot of products in the markets. When it comes to choosing the right product it is recommended that the patient visits the doctor first, because he will explain the best treatment for each case. Most products found in the market include at least one of three active ingredients: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and/or sulfur.

– Benzoyl peroxide: It works by breaking down into benzoic acid and oxygen when it touches the skin. The oxygen helps killing the amount of acne-causing bacteria and acts as a deep exfoliant, which helps to get rid of dead skin and sebum which is built up inside the pores. This component is effective but powerful, so when it is overused can cause dryness in the skin. Experts recommend using products with 2.5% of benzoilperoxid to avoid skin irritation and dryness.

Before using products with benzoyl peroxide for the first time, the patient should check if he/she is allergic to it. To check it, the patient can put a small amount on one or two small areas of acne for three days. If he/she has an allergic reaction, he/she should stop using this product and get medical help right away.

The benzoyl peroxide should be applied only to the areas of the skin affected by acne. Also, the patient should avoid getting this medication into the eyes, nose or mouth or on any areas of broken skin since it may cause irritation. It usually takes at least four weeks to work and it must be used continuously to keep acne at bay.

– Salicylic acid: On the skin, salicylic acid helps to correct the abnormal shedding of cells, and unclog pores to resolve and prevent injuries. This substance does not have any effect on sebum production and does not kill bacteria. Just like benzoyl peroxide, it must be used continuously because its effects stop when the patient stop using it.

– Sulfur: This substance in combination with other substances such as alcohol and salicylic acid is a component of many over-the-counter acne medications. But this usually isn’t used by itself because it has an unpleasant odor. It’s unclear how sulfur works, but it has only a marginal benefit in most cases.

Spot treatments can be used alone, being especially helpful for people who only succumb to an occasional pimple. But in some cases, spot treatments are combined with other local or oral medication. Antibiotics may be used on top of the skin (topical) or taken orally (systemic). They work by clearing the skin of acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation. Topical antibiotics are limited in their ability to penetrate the skin and clear more deep-seated acne, whereas systemic antibiotics circulate throughout the body and into sebaceous glands.

Usually, topical antibiotics aren’t recommended alone as an acne treatment, as they can increase the risk for antibiotic resistance in skin bacteria. However, using benzoyl peroxide with a topical antibiotic may reduce the chances of developing antibiotic resistance.

At our center, all the products show effective results and are tested thoroughly before its use. This product is clinically proved to help reduce the appearance of blemishes in 48 hours, it is non-irritating, it soothes the skin and reduces redness, it is especially designed for acne-prone skin because it is non-comedogenic, and it has been dermatologically tested.

What are the warnings about Spot Acne Treatments?

Patients taking acne drugs should be alert to possible side effects and interactions with other drugs and herbal remedies.

Some treatments can produce reddened, dry, and sensitive to sunlight skin; rare but serious allergic or severe irritation can also appear. Other systemic effects can occur when the treatment is oral, like stomach upset. Even taking oral antibiotics for more than a few weeks may leave women susceptible to yeast infections. Symptoms can appear anywhere from minutes to a day or longer after use.

The patient should seek emergency medical attention if he/she has symptoms such as throat tightness, difficulty breathing, feeling faint, or swelling of the face or tongue. Some products can inhibit the effects of others, so they should never be applied at the same time of the day. In the end, whichever product the patient chooses, he/she should remember to follow all the doctor directions.

    Can anyone get cosmetic surgery?

    In order to maintain high safety standards, we ask that you complete a thorough medical exam before we begin your procedures. With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
