THE MOST EFFECTIVE ACNE TREATMENTS

PDT Photodynamic Acne Treatment

Painless and effective, photodynamic therapy (PDT) harnesses the power of light and offers a double positive effect: it permanently combats the root of acne and rosacea, without the undesirable effects of topical or systemic antibiotics, hormones and retinoids.

From the very first session, visible and non-inflammatory skin inflammation is reduced, the colour becomes more even and new pimples cease to “pop up”. The unique effectiveness of the treatment is based on the combination of visible light – blue and red – emitted during the session. Its action reduces the population of the P. Acnes bacteria associated with acne and sebum secretion. Bonus surprise: this treatment improves skin density and sagging!

Facial Cleansing

The first-class facial treatment for acne: in a single session it unclogs pores, removes excess sebum, and prevents the development of inflammation. In Cosmetic Derma Medicine, cleansing is combined with diamond dermabrasion, during which the damaged surface layer of the epidermis (keratin layer) is removed safely and in a controlled manner, healing is stimulated and the appearance and texture of the skin are improved.

The result: Clearer, healthier, radiant, hydrated and elastic skin and of course fewer acne breakouts!

HydraBeauty

A premium facial treatment ideal for every skin type and every age. The HydraBeauty Hydrodermabrasion treatment includes 8 stages, as many heads, and combines cleansing with deep hydration, radiance and gentle skin tightening.

Acting specifically against acne, gentle dermabrasion painlessly and controllably removes the damaged surface layer of the skin (keratin layer). The scrub head that follows deeply but painlessly cleanses the pores and removes sebum, while the phototherapy stage sterilizes the skin, neutralizing acne bacteria. Immediately after the session you will feel and see your skin brighter and healthier!

Chemical peeling

Personalized, standard and well tested treatment that can be safely applied to the acne skin according to your needs.

The result of the chemical peel, with a composition chosen by the doctor according to the quality and condition of your skin, will bring to the surface in a few days your healthiest and whiter skin, with a uniform color, without scars and marks that acne may have left.

Acne Treatments

With medication

Acne is a skin disease and a dermatologist is the doctor who will assess which treatment, or combination of treatments, is appropriate for your case. Often, treatments for acne include medication in the form of a cream, gel or pill containing one or a combination of the following medications:

  • Retinoids
  • Sulphur and other astringents
  • Azelaic acid
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Retinoid in combination with benzoyl peroxide and/or antibiotic

In women, even over the age of 40, acne symptoms can occur during periods of stress or when menstruation is approaching due to hormonal changes. In this case, a hormonal therapy or birth control pills can be used to treat acne.

In cases of severe acne that is accompanied by nodules and cysts and often leaves scars, a more effective treatment can help you have clearer skin and prevent new scars. Treatment may include:

  • Prescription acne medication + antibiotics
  • Hormonotherapy
  • Isotretinoin
  • Cyproterone acetate (anti-androgen for women)

Important Information

  • In the early stages, acne is more easily treated and scarring and scars are prevented

  • Acne medications need caution – or discontinuation – in case of pregnancy

  • Antibiotics are given in moderation so as not to increase bacterial resistance to treatment

  • Trust your doctor and stick to the treatment, giving it time to work

  • Diligent facial cleansing at home helps prevent and limit acne break-outs

  • For your facial care choose products specifically for acneic skin

Acne

What is it?

Acne is an inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous glands, is one of the most common dermatological disorders and is considered a chronic disease. Acne is the most common reason for adolescents and adults to visit a dermatologist.

According to the US National Institute of Health (NIH), approximately 80% of people between the ages of 11 and 30 will experience an acne flare-up at some point. Although most commonly acne resolves by age 30, there are cases where it can persist even into their 40s or 50s. 20% of affected individuals will develop severe acne that scars.

Acne what is it.

What to expect on your acne treatment visit

  • The initial assessment

    At the first visit, the doctor clinically examines the areas on the face or body where acne and scarring problems occur to determine a personalized and effective treatment or combination of treatments.

  • The diagnosis

    In most cases, acne is diagnosed by a clinical examination by a dermatologist. Rarely, the physician may use a swab or scrape a lesion or pustule for microbiological examination or culture to rule out other sources of infection. However, in severe and complicated acne conditions, your dermatologist will probably recommend additional tests.

    In women, hormonal blood tests may be requested to look for conditions such as pregnancy, excessive prolactin production, Cushing’s syndrome and high testosterone (an indicator of polycystic ovaries).

  • The suitable treatment

    Having all the necessary information, the doctor will come up with the treatment or combination of treatments that suit your case. For example, the treatment regimen he or she will recommend depends on many factors, including the following:

    • What form of acne you have
    • What type of acne you have
    • Which acne treatments you have had in the past
    • What is your age
    • Whether the acne left black spots or scars
    • If the acne started during the coronavirus pandemic

Treatments for acne scars

CO2 Fractional Laser

The use of CO2 Fractional Laser in the treatment of acne scars is particularly effective and time-tested. The duration and number of sessions depend on the extent of the problem and the treatment planning is individual for each patient.

The application of the laser eliminates the outer layer of the epidermis where the lesions, scars, discolorations and photo-aging are located, forcing the deeper layers to “work” more intensively, improving the appearance and quality of the skin. It is a treatment that improves the appearance and texture of the skin and offers visible results in a very short time.
