There is almost nothing that can have such a serious and long-lasting impact on someone’s life as permanent acne scarring. Many teenagers who suffer with moderate to severe acne become seriously depressed. They feel self-conscious and have few friends. School grades can suffer. The scars can become permanent, with the emotional impact continuing into adulthood.
The American Dermatologist Association states that 85% of all teenagers suffer from acne and 25% experience at least some permanent scarring. Twenty million Americans have active acne that will or has already caused scars, but 70% will either do nothing about it or only try an over-the-counter medication. This is really unfortunate, because advanced laser technology combined with medical grade treatments can heal active acne. Skin will have improved texture and skin tone while the appearance of the unattractive acne scars is greatly reduced.
Digital photography and UV imagine can accurately diagnose skin problems. Curing the underlying conditions is critically important. Several Aramis or Intense Pulsed Light Laser Treatments may be used to treat the acne and scarring. Omnilux, an advanced light therapy treatment, gently destroys the acne-causing skin bacteria as well as stimulates the skin. Other treatments may also be used as required. Medical products are also available which can be used at home to treat any new acne outbreaks.
