Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that often results in the formation of unsightly pimples and pustules. It is this feature more than any other than can cause untold embarrassment to both teenagers and adults who have the condition. Acne most often appears on the face, but can also occur on the back, neck, and chest. It is usually the result of blocked glands in the pores of the skin that have become congested, due to the accumulation of excess oil and dead skin cells.
Medical practitioners in San Francisco are now providing acne solutions that utilize laser technology. Here are 2 of the laser treatments for acne that are now available:
• Isolaz acne treatment is a modern, light based option that incorporates pore cleansing alongside broadband light. The device deep cleans the pores of the skin, removing dirt, oil, and other impurities that may be lodged there. At the same time, the broadband of light works to destroy the bacteria that causes acne. This dual approach is a very effective acne treatment, which is quick and easy to administer.
• Levulan acne treatment is another innovative San Francisco acne solution that involves the use of a levulan topical solution along with pulsed light. It is best described as photo dynamic therapy, which means that it uses pulsed light to activate the topical solution that is applied to treat the acne. This approach is quite safe, and is a more effective acne treatment than pulsed light alone.
If you live in San Francisco, then these acne solutions are available at med spas in the city. It is advisable to contact a medical professional to determine which option is best for you.
