In this age when
looks matter more than at any other time before, acne is a very distressing
disorder for both men and women.
There is no dearth to
the types of creams, lotions, and ointments people try to make acne disappear.
The results, more
often than not, disappoint.
Interestingly, some
studies have suggested that what you eat is as important as what you apply on
your skin.
According to a
dermatologist, “Many of my patients have been able to bring acne under control
by just changing their diet”.
Here are some key
takeaways some doctors suggest.
- Limit
sugary and starchy foods.
- Avoid
low fat dairy products.
- Consume
plenty of vegetables.
The above advice has the
support of a research study done in 2016.
The conclusion of
this study was a high gylcemic index diet is positively linked with Acne
Vulgaris.
There is continuing
research to find the causes of acne. Many medical specialists argue that a few
of the skin’s microscopic residents are partially to blame for disorders such
as acne.
Now it appears that scientists
are discovering these bacteria can be part of the treatment too.
What exactly is acne?
Acne is a skin
condition that causes pimples. These can turn to blackheads, white heads, or
inflamed patches of skin.
The traditional
concept is, this condition is triggered by any one of the following:
- hormonal
changes
- greasy
cosmetic products
- certain
medications
- heavy
sweating
Healthcare providers
suggest many treatments including antibiotics (both topical and oral), creams
or gels, and even laser therapy.
One of the innovative
treatments that are touted to be very effective is Infini, or microneedling
with RF (Radio Frequency).
Some specialists
consider Infini scar revision to be
a leap forward in the domain of acne treatment.
According to a doctor
specializing in acne surgery, “There are several procedures in the market
including Fraxel, CO2 RePair, CORE CO2, Dermapen, and more. With Infini, acne
scars can definitely be removed very effectively”.
Infini skin
treatment delivers thermal energy down to the dermis and does away with any
damage to the skin’s surface, hence allowing for quicker healing.
But before you choose
any form of treatment for acne scarring, keep in mind that no solution is
perfect.
Consult your doctor.
He or she will recommend a solution by evaluating the extent of scarring,
location of the scars, overall skin pigmentation, and your general health.
INFINI certainly is a
good option, provided the surgeon you choose is a dermatologist with advanced
training in lasers.
