Naturally ideal skin is extremely rare, and millions of people around the world face problems such as acne, comedones, enlarged pores, dehydration and other imperfections. Most often, acne and acne occur during adolescence due to hormonal changes in the body, but skin rashes can also appear in adulthood, causing certain difficulties. We talk about what types of acne there are, what procedures exist to treat the disease, what causes acne, and what cosmetics are recommended to use in our article.
Diagnosis of acne: symptoms and types
Acne, also known as acne, is one of the most common skin diseases. It is an inflammation of the skin. The appearance of acne is caused by increased work of the sebaceous glands, increased proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and an increase in the number of keratinized cells in the epidermal layer. As a result, unsightly pimples called acne appear on the skin.
Acne can be localized on any part of the body, but most often it affects the face. One of the most unpleasant consequences that acne causes is post-acne (scars or spots that appear on the skin due to improper care or treatment, as well as subsequent squeezing of pimples).
There are several stages of acne, each of which is characterized by a certain degree of manifestation:
Comedonal is the most initial and mildest degree of acne. There is no inflammation, there are closed or open comedones on the skin, as well as reddish pimples without purulent contents. The number of comedones and acne on the skin at the initial stage does not exceed ten pieces.
Papulopustular is a moderate stage of acne, in which the number of comedones and papules increases. Inflamed pimples with purulent contents appear. You may feel discomfort when touching the skin.
Nodular is a more severe stage of acne, in which the number of pimples can reach seventy. Inflammatory areas grow, purulent papules can connect with each other, forming nodes. This form requires long-term and complex treatment.
Acne is the most severe form of acne, in which the number of papules, comedones and pustules increases significantly. Acne can affect the entire face, and painful boils appear under the skin. There is severe pain in the skin. The acne stage requires qualified help and competent treatment.
Causes of acne
Acne can occur independently and be isolated in nature, but most often they appear due to certain changes within the body, as well as due to many different factors:
- Increased activity of the sebaceous glands and excessive production of sebum;
- Genetic predisposition: the work of the sebaceous glands is inherent in nature itself, there is no escape from it;
- Failure of the hormonal system, excessive production of androgens;
- Stress, emotional, psychological and nervous stress;
- Unbalanced diet, alcohol abuse;
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, female pelvic organs;
- Improper skin care: too frequent washing or abuse of antibacterial products washes away the protective layer from the surface of the epidermis and damages the natural pH;
- Taking certain medications (anabolic steroids, contraceptives, antibiotics, corticosteroids, etc.);
- Skin damage accompanied by inflammatory processes;
- Excessive use of thick makeup, which clogs pores and prevents the skin from breathing;
- Bad habit of not removing makeup before bed;
- Certain climatic conditions: high humidity, ultraviolet radiation, heat.
Prevention
Elimination of provoking factors for the development of a chronic disease and the spread of provoking abnormalities is an integral part of:
- active insolation indicators;
- unbalanced regular diet;
- squeezing out pimples, introducing infections and bacteria.
Immediate contact with an experienced dermatologist in case of primary symptoms is an effective step to solve the problem. Quick correction of the organization of home care for the skin, the correct selection of medications. Prescription of mechanical and chemical peeling. Prescribing an effective rehabilitation period, vitamin complex, massage, additional procedures. Rapid relief of the inflammatory process, stimulation of the regeneration function of damaged cells, strengthening of the structure.

Cosmetic procedures for acne treatment
There are many hardware, injection and other cosmetic methods that will help get rid of acne once and for all. In the treatment of acne, cosmetologists often resort to mesotherapy . The cosmetologist selects the composition of the cocktail individually, taking into account the characteristics of the skin, the severity of the problem and other associated pathologies. As a result of mesotherapy, the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized, existing inflammations resolve, the synthesis of collagen and elastin increases, due to which skin restoration occurs much faster. Also, with the help of mesotherapy, you can moisturize the skin, get rid of post-acne and pigmentation, and even out your complexion.
Another popular injectable acne treatment is ozone therapy . The procedure is used for any form of acne and provides a lasting and pronounced result. During the process of ozone therapy, an ozone-oxygen mixture is introduced into problem areas of the skin, which has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, relieving the inflammatory process. Ozone therapy increases blood circulation, normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, restores protective functions, and increases local immunity. Ozone therapy is recommended to be carried out in courses consisting of 8-10 procedures.
One of the most common and effective ways to treat acne is peeling . The procedure consists of exfoliating the keratinized layer of cells, removing sebaceous plugs and blackheads, evening out skin tone, eliminating inflammation and peeling. The acid used is selected individually. It provides gentle exfoliation and rapid skin restoration. During acne, medium or deep peeling can be performed. The first acts on the surface of the skin, it is effective in the first forms of acne, helps cleanse pores of comedones and helps narrow pores. Deep peeling affects the deeper layers of the epidermis and cleanses the pores well of various impurities, evens out the tone and complexion, and prevents the reappearance of acne.
Among the hardware methods for treating acne, cosmetologists can resort to the darsonvalization . This method has been used for a long time and has proven itself well. The effect on inflammation is produced by high frequency current, which destroys bacteria that cause acne. Darsonvalization also narrows pores, normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, relieves inflammation, dilates capillaries and helps nutrients be better absorbed. Darsonval stimulates the production of natural elastin and collagen, due to which the skin begins to cope with its problem on its own. To achieve a pronounced result, cosmetologists recommend performing about 15 procedures.
Cryomassage is another effective method for treating acne. During the procedure, the skin is treated with liquid nitrogen. The therapeutic effect is explained by a sharp change in temperature, which improves blood circulation, tones the skin, relieves swelling and inflammation. To treat acne, you will need about 10 cryomassage sessions.
Acne is also treated with laser - a very effective method.
Intense laser radiation affects the deep layers of the skin, destroying pathogenic bacteria that provoke the appearance of acne. The laser melts sebum, unclogs the ducts of the sebaceous glands, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and restores natural tissue regeneration. Laser acne treatment is especially effective for removing deep and old comedones, cystic formations, pustular acne, and inflamed elements.
Disincrustation is an effective hardware method for treating acne. This procedure is a type of iontophoresis. During the process of desincrustation, the skin is exposed to galvanic current, which deeply cleanses the pores of various impurities, delicately exfoliates dead cells, dissolves sebaceous plugs and washes out subcutaneous fat. As a result, you get clean, smooth, healthy and radiant skin that does not need to be masked with heavy foundation.
A non-invasive and innovative method of light therapy is also used to treat acne of various forms. During the procedure, the skin is exposed to a light wave of a certain length, which has bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and restorative properties. As a result of light therapy, pathogens that cause acne are destroyed. The procedure is completely painless and very effective.
One of the unique methods of treating acne is plasma lifting , during which the patient is given injections of his own platelet-rich plasma. Under the influence of plasmolifting, active processes of renewal and rejuvenation begin in the skin, as a result of which acne almost completely disappears. The patient enjoys the perfect reflection in the mirror: the skin after plasma lifting will be like that of a baby.
Nutrition and treatment
Electroporation is a procedure in which exposure to pulsed current increases the permeability of the cell membrane, which allows you to bypass the epidermal barrier and saturate the skin with a nourishing serum of useful substances. Electroporation helps to successfully combat teenage rashes, pimples, blackheads, enlarged pores, impaired skin water balance and other problems.
Injection ozone therapy is a procedure for introducing ozone, which is characterized by powerful disinfecting properties and has a detrimental effect on viruses, fungi, and bacteria, including those resistant to antiviral drugs. As a result, foci of inflammation are stopped, membrane permeability increases, cellular functions and the skin’s ability to retain moisture are restored, and regeneration processes are activated. Ozone therapy is carried out in a course of at least 7 sessions.
Treatment programs based on lines of medicinal cosmetics. For example, the MELUME laboratory (Canada) has developed and is improving a series of products for the effective treatment of pimples, acne and other inflammatory skin diseases. The complex of medicinal preparations relieves inflammatory processes, has an antimicrobial effect, deeply cleanses and soothes problematic skin. As a result, she becomes healthier, her protective abilities are restored, and unwanted rashes disappear.
