Acne Vulgaris Discussions and Research

Acne Treatments
Treating acne has been one of the main focuses of dermatology for many years. Even with years of study and research continually looking to improve acne treatments, acne sufferers are often left with only modestly clearer skin. Problem pimples still pop up, zits, blackheads and whiteheads emerge and overall poor complexion is present. Fortunately today we have a variety of at-home medical devices from established companies such as Zeno®, Tria®, Claro® and others which are showing significant results in treating acne. These devices, coupled with the use of topical acne creams, are showing dramatically better results than anything used before. Now millions of acne sufferers can have clear, beautifully smooth skin.

Clearing Acne with At-Home Devices
For many years dermatologists have used lasers, blue light therapy, pulsed light, radiofrequency energy and LHE therapy to target P. acnes, the acne-causing bacteria. These treatments have worked in the dermatologist’s office for years, but the technology to put these devices in the homes of acne sufferers was not yet available. Now due to breakthroughs in both the effectiveness of these devices and the ability to make them more cheaply and smaller, having the power of these acne fighters at home is finally possible.

The Patient’s Guide® to Acne
There are so many different acne creams, products and treatments, both at-home and in skin care clinics, it can be very difficult to know what is right and what is effective. Fortunately the Patient’s Guide®, the leading online publication in cosmetic dermatology has launched Acne.md, our newest website dedicated to educating patients about acne and acne treatments. The Patient’s Guide was launched in 2006 and now comprises more than 25 websites covering the range of skin care issues. We bring you the leading researchers and experts in the field of skin care so you can feel confident in the information we provide. While only a one-on-one consultation with a dermatologist can truly give you an idea of what treatments may be right for you, we aim to at least provide you with an idea of what’s now available.
