Acne Scar Treatment

Posted on June 3, 2008



Among the many reasons that cystic acne is considered the most serious form is the fact that it is the variation that is most likely to lead to scarring. Here’s how the scarring process happens. First, for some reason (perhaps a hormonal imbalance, perhaps a reaction to some skin treatment or other medication, or perhaps something else), the body produces more sebum than the skin’s pores cant handle. They become clogged, and inflammation results. With the cystic form of acne, the inflammation seeps deep into the skin, causing infection and the formation of “cyst” like structures on the skin. Because this infection runs so deep, scarring takes place much more often than with other forms of acne. In addition, many times, persons with the condition will try to squeeze the pus out of the cysts, but again, because the cyst runs so deep into the skin, the pus gets into the person’s system and creates more infection and further scarring.

Most dermatologists feel the best acne scar treatment is a drug called Isotretinoin (brand name Accutane). Isotretinoin is an moral medicine that a person takes a couple times a day, usually for four or five months. It works by decreasing the oil gland size, which causes less oil to be produced. Reduced oil means reduced clogging of the pores. It’s important that cystic acne be treated as soon as it’s recognized, as this will reduce the possibility of permanent scarring.

What if you detect that you already have a cystic acne scar? There are several steps that you should take. First, speak to an endocrinologist, who can help determine if a hormone problem is behind the acne. Second, use an antibiotic (in conjunction with the advice of your dermatologist or other physician) to treat your cystic acne in order to fight the bacteria that produces the inflammation. And third, consider speaking with your physician about one of the following options:
(A) Laser Treatment: This new treatment option uses lasers to elevate scars that are recessed into the skin, making it easier to remove them.
(B) Steroids: By injecting special steroids into certain scars, patients will often see a reduction in the size of the scars.
(C) Other options to mention to your doctor are chemical peels and dermabrasion. They’ll know what you mean. Remember, though, never use Web articles such as this one to replace a doctor’s advice, but only to make you smarter when you talk about the issues with him or her.

Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device - 90 Treatment Cycles

The Zeno? Pro Acne Clearing Device (90 treatments) now comes with a new more affordable price, in a new teal color and includes a fashionable leather carrying case with mirror.

Clinically proven portable, hand-held rechargeable medical device for at-home treatment of individual acne pimples.

  • Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device
  • One replaceable 90 Treatment Tip
  • Leather carrying case with mirror
  • Battery charger
  • Product Manual and Quick Start Guide

    • Effective Acne Clearing Device

    Zeno is an acne clearing device. It is a hand-held, 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 Acne Treatment is for people with mild to moderate acne. Clear up your acne. Eliminate your pimples with the Zeno.

    Zeno works by applying precisely controlled low-level heat to a pimple, causing the bacteria within the pimple to self-destruct. It takes only two or three 2 1/2-minute treatments, over 12 to 24 hours to work. For many pimples, one treatment is enough. The installed Treatment Tip Cartridge contains a specific number of treatment cycles and is easily replaced once exhausted. Treatment Tip Cartridges are available where you purchased Zeno.

    The proprietary Zeno technology triggers a heat shock response in microorganisms that cause skin lesions, bringing about the self-destruction of those bacteria and allowing the skin to return to a healthy, normal state. In the case of acne, the P. acnes bacterium is the root cause of 90% of all acne pimples.

    Zeno is a simple electronic product designed to safely heat an acne lesion to a pre-set temperature range known to generate heat shock response. Heat shock response is a reaction bacteria have to heat whereby they transcript a number of genes and activate heat-shock proteins. These heat-shock proteins participate in the bacteria’s death by causing the bacteria to self-destruct.

    Pimples occur when excess skin oil and flaking skin plug the opening of a hair follicle and create the ideal environment for acne bacteria to grow. Precisely controlled heat applied for a specific period of time causes the bacteria to self-destruct. When the bacteria die, the pimple goes away.

    Zeno applies a precisely controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad. Learn about thermal treatment of acne pimples. Lean about acne and pimples.

    Safe, painless, and effective acne treatment

    Zeno Acne Treatment can clear up a pimple in just hours. Two to three 2?-minute treatments spread over 24 hours are sufficient for most pimples. Often, only one treatment is needed. Most other medications can take days or even weeks to work.

    Patients included in our clinical trials experienced little reaction to the low-level heat. Other than some temporary skin redness following a treatment cycle, no other adverse side effects were reported.

    Directions For Use:
    Fully charge prior to use. Use Zeno at the first sign of a pimple to reduce or eliminate the blemish. Clean the Treatment Tip before each use.
