Does teenage acne go away by itself?

Typically, teenage acne will go away by itself after puberty, but many teenagers want to get rid of their acne sooner. Also, many people struggle with acne into adulthood. Even after a person’s acne goes away, he or she might be left with acne scars. However, acne can be treated effectively, and so can acne scars.

How do you treat hormonal acne?

Because adults can suffer from hormonal changes like teenagers do, they may also suffer from hormonal acne. Hormonal acne may be especially common in women. Menstruation and menopause could be factors.

Oral medications usually work much better and some can actually help to balance a patient’s hormones. These medications can include oral contraceptives and anti-androgen drugs. Here at Dr. Mylissa’s Medical Boutique, we can provide prescriptions for these medications. Sometimes, though, a case of acne requires a different approach to treatment, and acne scars definitely require a different approach.

What are the best treatments for acne?

It could easily be said that laser acne treatment is one of the best treatments for acne. It works by focusing light energy into the top layer of a patient’s skin, which breaks up acne and acne scar tissue. The treatment works in another way too: by stimulating the natural healing of the patient’s skin and the development of new, healthier skin cells which eventually replace the unhealthy scar tissue. As a result of treatment, the patient is left with less acne scarring and much smoother skin!

One of the best things about laser treatment is how versatile it is. It can be done for acne on the face, arms, back, neck, torso, and other areas too. Since laser treatment is quite safe for most patients, it can be used effectively and safely on the face. Truly, the risks involved with laser acne treatment are minimal and mostly negligible, and are typically only minor pain, swelling, and redness.

The patient’s skin type is a consideration, so it’s necessary to have a consultation with a proper professional. There’s a very good chance that you’ll be a good candidate for laser acne treatment. Patients with active acne, a darker skin tone, or very wrinkled skin may not make the best candidates for treatment, but other treatment options are available. For other patients, laser acne treatment can be quite effective, reducing acne scars significantly and permanently!
