Over the counter skin care products are a great start towards having clear skin, but if you are continually struggling with those, you may want to consider a trip to the dermatologist.
I visited a dermatologist recently and he had some great tips and tools to help in my fight with acne. Obviously they have great medications you can take and special creams unavailable to OTC purchasers, but what really got me excited was the continued development of treating acne with lasers.
Dermatologists now are using lasers to help remove acne on the spot, remove previous acne scars, and help prevent acne from reoccurring in the future. The laser creates heat and energy that eliminates the bacteria both on your skin and under your skin. It also removes that oily substance that unfortunately makes so many people’s faces appear to be shiny.
The lasers also can remove any wrinkles you may have or deep scars caused years ago from extreme acne you may have had. This process is still under development, but if nothing seems to be working or you simply want to try something new, consider laser acne treatment from a dermatologist.
