Acne Treatment In Pune

Acne is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by pimples on the face, chest, and back. Acne vulgaris (the medical term for common acne) occurs when the skin’s pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Nearly 85% of people develop acne sometime between the ages of 12 and 25 years old, and it is even found in some newborns. While acne can arise at any age, it usually begins at puberty and worsens during adolescence.

The sebaceous (oil-producing) glands that lie beneath the skin’s surface produce sebum, an oily secretion. Sebum helps preserve the flexibility of the hair and moisturizes the skin.

The hair follicles within which the sebaceous glands are found are called sebaceous follicles. Sebum reaches the hair shaft and the skin through pores on the skin attached to these follicles.

Sometimes, the glands excrete excess sebum that cannot be cleared from the pores efficiently. This often happens at puberty due to increased levels of the androgen hormones. Additionally, cells lining the follicle perish and begin to clump together. The excess sebum combines with the dead cells and forms a block, or comedo (also called comedones), on the pore, that is not usually seen.

When the follicle begins to bulge and show up as a small whitish bump, mostly under the skin, it is called a whitehead. If the comedo opens up, the top surface of the plug darkens, and it is referred to as a blackhead.

Propionibacterium acnes is a bacteria that normally lives on the skin. When this bacteria invades the blocked follicle, it results in infection and produces chemicals and enzymes that bring on inflammation. When the infected blackheads or whiteheads rupture, they release sebum, bacteria, dead skin, and white blood cells onto the surrounding tissues resulting in pimples.

Acne has been treated mostly with home-made cures for ages. Mud packs, gram flour, blood purifiers, etc. have often been used as an effective treatment of acne. Today, thanks to science and technology, we have a modern cure for acne through laser.

For the successful treatment of acne, there are various types of laser exposures, such as carbon dioxide laser therapy, which eliminates the negative effects of acne and thus improves your skin’s smoothness. The laser treatment is totally painless and really effective.

What Are The Different Types of Laser Acne Treatments?

There are different kinds of laser therapies that are used to treat acne:

1. Nonablative Lasers:

This kind of laser reaches underneath the skin, stimulates collagen growth, and helps to tighten the skin. The outcome of this therapy is that it will result in a good skin tone, reduce the fine lines, and ultimately eliminate acne.

2. Erbium Lasers:

This laser works in a different way than the nonablative laser therapy. It does not work on the ducts of the skin but rather works on the water molecules in the skin. This therapy is mostly used in people who have a very moderate level of acne or facial wrinkles.

3. Carbon Dioxide Lasers:

This is another kind of laser treatment in which there is an emission of short outbursts of high-energy light to the skin. The damaged part of the skin removes dead skin cells layer by layer. This laser therapy works to remove all types of acne and is considered the best acne treatment. Consult Dr Sanghvi for acne treatment in Pune.

The main focus of the laser acne treatment is to kill the bacteria that is present in the pores and to repair the damaged skin tissues.
Laser treatment for acne has a very high success rate. The procedure begins with the application of an anesthetic cream to numb the area to be treated.

The laser beam focuses on the affected areas and emits pulsating heat below the skin’s surface. This causes the diminishment of the size of the sebaceous glands, which are the major cause of the formation of acne pimples. Get a consultation for acne treatment in Pune.
