postheadericon Is Thermaclear An Effective Acne Device ?

Diane declares†I just wonder whether those acne devices are really effective? Are they?

Right Brain responds:

AgingSkinNet Article Acne Scars: Types and Treatment ” Old-looking” skin can sometimes have less to do with aging than with a defect that makes the skin look prematurely old. One such skin problemand a fairly common oneis acne scars.

Acne is one of most common skin conditions in the world, afflicting 40 to 50 million Americans. Nearly 80 percent of people aged 11 to 30 years have acne, most often on the face, chest and back. However, acne is not restricted to any age group; adults in their 20s, 30s and even into their 40s can get acne. Most cases of acne responds to treatment and clears up without leaving scars. Healed acne does leave scars in some people, however, and it is not easy to predict who will have scars after acne and who will not. Severe, inflamed, cystic acne always leaves scars after healing, but in some people even superficially inflamed acne can result in scarring.

Whether acne scarring is deep or superficial, extensive or scattered, the esthetic result can be less than desirable and even disturbing. Acne scars can give the skin an “old” look. Scars may also contribute to an appearance of age as the skin loses its elasticity over the years.

postheadericon Acne Symptoms

What are some common acne symptoms? Surprisingly, signs of acne can go way beyond that typical pimple.

Acne vulgaris, or common acne, is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, causing some form of lesions on the skin. Acne is characterized by the presence of one or more of the following:

  • papules
  • pustules
  • blackheads
  • whiteheads or milia
  • nodules
  • cysts

Non-Inflamed Acne Acne can be divided into two categories: inflamed and non-inflamed. Non-inflamed acne breakouts consist of microcomedones, blackheads, and milia. These types of comedones are not red or painful. Symptoms of non-inflamed acne include bumps or bumpiness across the skin’s surface, or an uneven skin texture. Even if comedones are not readily visible, they will make the skin feel rough or “sandpapery.”

postheadericon Body Acne Scars and Treatments – Prevent Body Acne – Professional Treatments

Body Acne

Acne is a skin problem that affects people of all ages and skin types. In fact, an estimated 80 percent of people between ages 11 and 30 will suffer some type of acne breakout. Though many people think of acne as a facial skin disorder, body acne is a common problem that can be equally embarrassing and cause permanent scarring. Learn more about body acne treatments, body acne scars, and how to prevent body acne below.

Causes of Body Acne

Body acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged by a combination of dead skin cells and the skin’s naturally occurring oils, or sebum. Hair follicles are connected to sebaceous glands, which normally excrete oil at the surface of the follicle to lubricate the hair and skin. When the body overproduces sebum, it can cause these follicles to become clogged. We see the results of these plugged hair follicles as pimples, white heads, black heads, cysts, and more serious lesions.
