			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If the questio n was &#8220;Is there any one, single treatment to cure acne?&#8221; then the answer would be NO, even though there are many medical treatments available for acne. The reason is that the problem of acne is not the same in the case of every individual. It varies from person to person. It affects the skin in different ways. Hence a single solution for the treatment of acne is not possible.</p>
<p>This makes treating of acne difficult. A successful treatment involves a lot of experimentation and trial and error with various medications. The persons may expect a quick relief of acne but this long procedure of treatment may not give a sudden positive result and the time consuming acne treatment may be very frustrating for the person. The persons with the stubborn strain of acne also have to wait patiently for long time in order to clear up their problem.Before finding out the exact treatment or combination of treatments that has to be given to the patients to cure or impede acne, doctors usually opt to try out for different products for each individual.</p>
<p>The common treatment that a doctor would suggest first is to use a topical cream. Like all the treatment topical cream also does not cure acne completely or make it disappear all of a sudden but helps to manage the symptoms of the acne. The topical creams contains benzoyl peroxide. The benzoyl peroxide is effective in managing acne but should be used only in small dose and only for a small period. Initially usage of topical cream was thought to be harmless but studies regarding their use shows that topical creams should not be used for a prolonged period of time and only a little amount should be used other wise it would lead to the premature aging of the skin.</p>
<p>If the there is no effect with the topical cream then doctors along with the topical cream oral antibiotics are given. Same type of treatment is not given and will not be effective for all the individuals with acne. The treatments given by the doctors to the patients depends on the type of acne that the patients have. The reason for the cause of acne in each individual is determined and then the treatment would focus on unplugging the pores, killing the bacteria by using antibiotics, trying to reduce the oil secretion like Accutane or if the acne is due to the problem of hormonal imbalance then medicines are given to alter the hormones that stimulate the sebaceous glands like the oral contraceptives.</p>
<p>There are certain things that has to be followed if acne appears. Acne has irritating sensation on the skin and many scrub or pinch acne, this should not be done at all because this leads only to more irritation and inflammation. Scrubbing leads to more pimples and thus the treatment and the healing of the pimples will also be longer .Some do self treatment or self medication and this could lead to other complications. So instead of making the condition worse a trained doctor of antiseptic environment has to be consulted because they analyse and give the proper treatment that patient needs.</p>
<p>There are certain things to be remembered to get rid of acne, first of all if acne appears instead of doing self medication consult with a trained medical professional of your trust. Second thing that should be kept in the mind is that acne does not and cannot be cleared up overnight by any doctor, so wait patiently for better results. Doctors recommend a treatment for four to six weeks hopefully because even if the treatment suits you usually the skin gets worse and then slowly it starts getting better in course of time, so the treatment should be followed and continued strictly as per the doctor&#8217;s suggestion. In many cases the first treatment itself may not be a success but with out disappointment be ready to try different treatments so that the final result will be fruitful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Antioxidants play a vital role in curing acne and getting a clear skin. Similarly antioxidants can also speed up the healing and recovery of the skin affected by acne scarring and pitting. The reason how antioxidants help to get a clear skin is that, it is a powerful weapon against the free radical, one of our skin&#8217;s worst enemies.Free radicals a greatest threat to the skin is not created by one single factor.</p>
<p>Free radical is created as a result of countless environmental factors. Some of the main sources of free radical are the environmental toxins, the foods we eat UV rays of the sun. Among these UV sunlight rays is one of the worst offenders.</p>
<p>The effect of Free radical is severe as it attacks the healthy skin cells directly. Free radicals are essentially &#8220;incomplete&#8221;, hence in order to repair themselves; they leach on the good complete skin cells and steal the vital components of the healthy skin cells.</p>
<p>As a result a series of problems arise on the skin. Free radicals brings problems like aging of skin, degradation of the skin, wrinkles in the skin, permanent scars, age spots, sun damage and many more other problems that makes the skin lose its natural beauty, its vibrancy and its ability to blemish free. The remedy for the problem of free radical is the use of antioxidants.</p>
<p>Anti oxidants play a vital role in preventing free radicals from stealing the components of the healthy skin. Antioxidants are so important that it helps our body to have a reserve to regenerate healthy skin tissue, when the skin face problems like acne lesions.</p>
<p>Acnezine acne remedy is a popular treatment of acne using antioxidants. This treatment packs their supplement full of antioxidants to fight against all the bad effects of free radicals. Antioxidants not only helps in curing acne and acne scarring but as a bonus helps the skin to restore its health and longevity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many effective treatments are available for acne but many people are unaware of this. This delays the early stage treatment and by the time mild acne develops to severe stage. In this stage there is a risk of developing acne scars, so aggressive treatment is required at this stage. Hence in the severe stage it is very much necessary to consult a doctor or a dermatologist immediately and seek the latest medical treatment to halt further progression of acne and thus scars could be avoided.</p>
<p>In the severe stage, acne spots are larger and painful compared to the early stages. Appropriate treatment taken at this stage may free your skin from acne other wise you may be plagued with lifetime scars.The progress of acne cannot be predicted, sometime acne heals itself with time other time on the contrary acne develops into more serious advanced stage. In the serious stage acne develops acne cysts and acne nodules, which results in acne scars. Even though there are a few scar removal treatments available some scars remain permanently and generally the effects of scar treatment is temporary.</p>
<p>As in the case of acne, acne scars are also unique. Treatment of acne varies from individual to individual. In the same way acne-scarring treatment is also dealt on a case-by-case basis. As in the case of combination treatment in acne one or more treatment is used in the acne scar treatment also.</p>
<p>There are six popular treatments for acne scars. They are Dermabrasion, Laser Resurfacing, Chemical Peels, Punch Techniques, Subcision or Augmentation. Each and every treatment varies in its price and effect. The treatments should not be measured or weighed on the basis of its price but on its proven results. In Augmentation treatment crater like scars caused by severe acne are raised by injecting a substance called collagen under the scar.</p>
<p>At times instead of using collagen fat taken from other parts of the body is also used. But this treatment is not permanent, collagen gives only temporary results and to maintain the result the treatment has to be repeated regularly. Other treatments like Dermabrasion and Laser Resurfacing also have some drawbacks. They are very expensive and at the same time don&#8217;t give the expected and successful result. </p>
