Acne is not only an eyesore but also a recurring problem for many beauty lovers. The medical term for acne is “acne vulgaris”. It is a cone-shaped inflammatory papule, whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, etc., which are consistent with hair follicles, and in more severe cases, can leave depressed or hyperplastic scars, causing lifelong regret.
Traditional treatment methods.
1. Remind patients to pay attention to skin cleanliness, eat less greasy and stimulating food, and eat more vegetables and fruits.
2. oral anti-inflammatory and endocrine regulating drugs, such as metronidazole and anodyne.
3, topical antibiotics, vitamin A acid cream, etc.
4, do facial medicine film.
Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory blue and red light double-pronged
The metabolites of Propionibacterium acnes porphyrins produce monomorphic oxygen after absorbing the blue light emitted by the treatment instrument, while Propionibacterium acnes is an anaerobic bacterium, monomorphic oxygen will kill a large number of Propionibacterium acnes and play a bactericidal role. At the same time, the red light in the wavelength spectrum emitted by the treatment instrument can in turn eliminate the redness caused by inflammation.
Treatment procedure.
First, the doctor carefully examined and diagnosed the skin condition, filled out a detailed treatment plan, obtained consent, and took pictures of the lesions in order to compare the results before and after treatment. Her face was then partially disinfected and cleared accordingly for the appearance of whiteheads or blackheads on her face, and an eye shield was put on her to avoid eye damage.
Depending on the severity of the acne, the doctor irradiated the lesion with the photon treatment head close to the lesion, at which point a slight heat and a slight pins and needles sensation were felt, other than that there was generally no other discomfort.
After finishing, the doctor advises never to squeeze and pinch the affected area with your hands, forbid eating stimulating food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, ensure sufficient sleep, and if you have constipation, you can take hot detox capsules orally.
Such a convening treatment is usually carried out 1-2 times a week. After 4 to 8 sessions of treatment, the inflammatory acne on the face has basically been cured.
Phototherapy for acne scars.
For the dark red acne marks left after the acne inflammation subsides, photorejuvenation treatment can be used. Its strong pulsed light can penetrate the skin and improve skin microcirculation while also making the red marks lighter and the depressions filled. The remarkable efficacy in eliminating acne marks in a timely manner has been recognized by both doctors and patients.
Treatment process:
The doctor chose the energy density of the treatment according to her skin type before the treatment and adjusted the energy density of the photons according to the immediate response of the skin during the treatment. The skin was slightly reddened, indicating that the treatment was effective. There was cold gel protection between the photon treatment head and the skin, and the treatment felt like being gently bounced by a leather band, without much discomfort.
Laser treatment and repair of keloid scars
Compared with mechanical grinding, there is no bleeding during the process and no need for gauze coverage after the grinding; compared with microdermabrasion, one laser can achieve the effect of several times of microdermabrasion; CO2 laser can vaporize the scar tissue and promote the degradation and regeneration of deep tissue, thus giving the local tissue a chance to regenerate and repair. After three treatments, sometimes satisfactory results can be achieved. Pixel laser and fractional laser are currently safe and effective means of treating acne scars.
Treatment procedure.
The patient lies flat on his back, disinfects the skin, anesthetizes with local lidocaine, turns on the laser, adjusts the energy, spot, and pulse type, and grinds to a certain depth layer by layer. The depth of grinding must be grasped during the treatment to avoid causing new scarring. After the procedure, topical Mepore ointment is used to protect the wound.
After treatment will be advised to avoid sun exposure as much as possible to avoid causing hyperpigmentation. Water avoidance is required for one week to prevent infection. Do not tear off the scab after it has formed, and sun protection can be used after it has fallen off naturally. Sun protection is preferable for 3 months to reduce hyperpigmentation.
