One of the very common skin problems faced today on account of severe pollution is acne. This condition occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. The result of this is the appearance of whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Since all of this majorly appears on the face this condition can be very depressing and can get you highly stressed out. It is best you go visit a dermatologist immediately when you begin to see yourself developing this condition.

If you are looking for some effective treatment for acne do visit Vision Multispeciality Hospital, the dermatology department of the hospital is highly recommendable to help in treating various conditions of the skin including acne. Dermatologists treat acne by using different products depending on the severity of the condition. 

• Alpha hydroxy acids

When it comes to treating acne, doctors recommend the use of Alpha hydroxy acids which help in removing the dead skin off the skin and also preventing clogging of your pores. Alpha hydroxy acids play a role in exfoliating the skin and removing the discolouration as well.

•  Lactic acid

Doctors will also prescribe medication that contains Lactic acid which helps in restoring texture and appearance of the skin thereby reducing pigmentation. 

• Retinoids

Another form of prescribed medication are Retinoids, they help in cell regeneration and improving your skin’s texture and also make scars less visible. 

• Salicylic acid

 You might also be put on products that contain Salicylic acid which helps clear pores, reduce swelling and redness and also aids in exfoliation. These are pretty much the medications that may be prescribed to you by your dermatologist who will also specify the duration for its use.

Besides medication, the dermatologists will also carry out in-office procedures. These are a set of procedures that need to be done only in the dermatologist’s clinic. One of the procedures is called Dermabrasion; this procedure is done using a wire brush or a wheel which helps in deep exfoliation which helps get rid of scars close to the surface. 

Another process that is carried out is known as Dermal Fillers. In this process, a dermatologist tries to fill acne scars so that the skin is even. A common product used for filling is called collagen. At times dermatologists recommend using your own fat as well. These fillers make your skin look even for 6 and 18 months.

If your scars are very deep and severe and it happens to be an issue for you to live with, doctors try to restore your skin with the help of injections. The types of injections range from corticosteroids, chemotherapy drugs fluorouracil (5-FU) and interferons.

One of the more modern techniques to treat acne and reduce scars is Microneedling. In this process, tiny needles are used to puncture the skin that is numb thereby pushing the skin to produce collagen. The collagen helps in reducing the appearance of acne scars.

So if you are suffering from acne there is no need for sulking, just visit Vision Multispeciality hospital, ask for the dermatology department and get yourself treated with the best specialist at your disposal.
