Introduction to acne treatment methods in beauty salons

Nowadays, especially for adolescents, the most distressing thing should be acne, which not only affects the appearance of their faces but is also very uncomfortable, but there is no way to eliminate it. Many methods have been tried but to no avail. However, we cannot blindly use acne-removing cosmetics, as this will damage the skin. Let us now explain the acne removal treatment methods in beauty salons.

Treatment:

Laser treatment for acne

Laser treatment for acne is through irradiation of high-intensity dye laser of specific wavelength, which can quickly destroy Propionibacterium acnes, effectively inhibit bacterial reproduction, eliminate its irritation and destructive effects on tissues, and simultaneously cause the dilated capillaries to shrink rapidly, and the inflammation of congestion and redness and swelling to subside quickly, thus blocking the further destructive effects of acne on tissues, and at the same time promoting early recovery of acne wounds, avoiding the irreversible pits and acne scars in the future. Some previous broad spectrum radiation sources were not able to provide radiation that would completely destroy P. acnes without also containing dangerous UV (ultraviolet) light.

Using laser to treat acne can take effect quickly and can make inflammatory papules and nodules disappear quickly. At the same time, it can make it easy to clean and remove whiteheads and blackheads at the opening of hair follicles. The pores become finer and oil secretion is reduced, making the face clean and non-greasy.

Glucocorticoids

Glucocorticoids have the effects of inhibiting androgen secretion caused by hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex, and have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

Oral corticosteroids are mainly used for acne fulminans or acne conglobata. Because these types of acne are often associated with excessive immune and inflammatory responses, short-term use of corticosteroids can have an immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effect. However, it should be noted that glucocorticoids themselves can induce acne. Oral administration is only used in patients with more severe inflammation, and is in small doses and for short periods of time.

① For fulminant acne, take prednisone 20-30 mg/d for 4-6 weeks, then gradually reduce the dosage within 2 weeks, and then start taking oral retinoic acid.

② If conglobate acne or fulminant acne worsens during treatment with oral tretinoin, take prednisone 20-30 mg/d for 2-3 weeks, then gradually reduce the dose within 6 weeks; at the same time, discontinue oral tretinoin or reduce the dose to 0.25 mg/kg/d, and then increase or decrease the dose according to changes in the condition.

③ Take prednisone 5mg/d or dexamethasone 0.375-0.75mg/d every night to inhibit the high secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone in the early morning and inhibit the production of androgen by the adrenal glands and ovaries. Gradually reduce the dosage after improvement. For patients with acne that worsens before menstruation, prednisone 5 mg/d can be used starting 10 days before menstruation until the onset of menstruation. Fisher et al. believed that large doses of glucocorticoids have anti-inflammatory effects, while small doses have anti-androgenic effects.

The above article explains in detail the treatment methods of acne removal in beauty salons. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of this method. In fact, in life, you cannot rely solely on cosmetics to remove acne. You still have to find out the real reason for your acne and then prescribe the right medicine.
