Acne not only affects the look of your skin, it also affects your
self-esteem. There are a number of treatments now available to help get
rid of outbreaks. The makeover guy, Christopher Hopkins, and Danielle,
a patient on behalf of the Laser and Cosmetic Center discussed several
new treatments.

Today, virtually every case of acne can be resolved. The key to getting rid of acne lesions and preventing new ones from forming lies in knowing that:
- What works for one person may not work for another.
- A dermatologist's help may be required.
Blue Light Therapy
Blue light works by killing the acne-causing bacteria and is being used to treat inflammatory acne vulgaris that has not responded to other acne therapies. The blue-light products of today do not contain ultraviolet (UV) light, which was a staple of former light therapy used to treat acne.
Pulsed light and heat energy (LHE) therapy
This treatment combines pulses of light and heat, which researchers believe target two causes of acne.
It is known that LHE destroys acne-causing bacteria. LHE also may decrease sebum (oily substance) production by shrinking the sebaceous glands. A system that combines pulses of green light and heat has been approved by the FDA for treating mild to moderate acne.
Microdermabrasion
Glycolic Peels
Topical and Oral Medications
Zeno
Zeno is a handheld, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples disappear fast. In fact, for treating acne pimples, it's the most scientifically advanced and effective device available without a prescription.
Zeno applies a precisely controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad. One treatment lasts 2½ minutes. Two to three treatments spread over 24 hours clear up most pimples quickly.
