Conventional Treatment- These treatmens we do not recommend.

Medication: Conventional acne medications may be topical- applied directly to skin- or they may be systemic- taken internally. Medications include benzoyl peroxide, retinoic acid, steroids, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and isotretinoin (Accutane.)

Therapeutic Injections: In severe cases of acne where cysts form and scars have developed, doctors have had some success with injecting steroids directly into cyst to resolve cysts and diminish appearance of scars.

Surgery: In moderate to severe cases of acne, doctors may use surgery to open up blemishes and remove blackheads and whiteheads. Unlike medication treatments, effects of acne surgery are usually more immediate.

Anti Aging Procedures Botox: Botox or botulinum endotoxin-A can produce dramatic anti aging results, similar to surgery, without devastating side effects. Botox is a neurotoxin produced by bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It causes a slight paralysis of muscles around wrinkles.

It can visibly reduce appearance of fine line and in come cases, deeper wrinkles. It is one of most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery today. However, it is an invasive surgical procedure that also has risks such as excessive scarring, infection, loss of normal skin pigmentation, skin redness and dryness.

Chemical Peels: As frightening as it seems, chemical peels actually involve applying a chemical substance to your skin that “burns” off damaged layers. The gentlest type of chemical peel available is glycolic acid peel that removes dead skin cells from upper layer of skin only. These treatments are quick and are often referred to as “lunchtime peels,” as they may only require ten to fifteen minutes in doctor’s office. However, results of chemical peels are only temporary and procedure must be repeated frequently.
