Have you ever wondered why teenagers are more prone to the problem of acne?
According to the famous Skin doctor in Raipur, changes in hormones are one of the significant causes of acne. And teens go through a lot of hormonal changes and thus are at a higher risk of developing acne.
Some of the other causes of acne are as follows-

• Anxiety and stress
• Genetics
• Excessive sweating
• Hot or humid conditions
• Makeup products

The treatment options depend upon the severity of acne. If your acne is mild, the skin specialist may recommend using over-the-counter (OTC) medications like creams, lotions, soaps, gels, etc.

• Corticosteroid injection

An acne cyst can rupture if it becomes severely inflamed. This can result in scarring. An inflammatory cyst may be treated with a diluted corticosteroid injection by a specialist.
This can aid in the prevention of scarring, the reduction of inflammation, and the speeding up of the healing process. Within a few days, the cyst breaks down.

Oral Antibiotics

Patients with moderate to severe acne may be prescribed oral antibiotics for up to 6 months.
These are intended to reduce the number of P. acnes. The dosage will be high at first, then gradually decrease as the acne clears.

Acnes can become resistant to the antibiotic over time, necessitating the use of a different antibiotic. Topical antibiotics are more likely to grow resistant to acne than oral antibiotics.
Antibiotics can stop bacteria from growing and lessen inflammation.
Acne is commonly treated with erythromycin and tetracycline.

• Topical antimicrobials

In patients with moderate to severe acne, topical antimicrobials are used to decrease P. acnes. Clindamycin and sodium sulfacetamide are two examples.
The dermatologist may prescribe a topical retinoid.

Topical retinoids are vitamin A derivatives. They clear pores and prevent the formation of whiteheads and blackheads.

• Chemical Peels:

Chemical peels exfoliate the skin quickly, allowing dead skin cells to shed more efficiently. Pore blockages and pimples can be reduced by keeping dead skin cells and excess oil from clogging the hair follicle. More advanced chemical peels can also be used to reduce the appearance of acne scarring.

• Laser Treatment:

Laser stimulation, unlike traditional acne treatments, may reach deeper into your skin’s layers to eliminate harmful bacteria, effectively curing your current acne problems. Following cosmetic laser therapy, you may notice that your skin generates less excess oil, which can help prevent future acne outbreaks.

!1)Sunscreen Protection Factor or SPF should be minimum 30 . use higher SPF if possible if you are on vacation, trekking or a sports person. The SPF  will give you an idea about your UVB protection

2) Boots star rating / PA rating should be at least 3 or above. This gives idea about protection from the UVA rays. If a sunscreen has both these factors mentioned it is known as broad spectrum sunscreen.

3) IR on a sunscreen tube shows that ir protects you from invisible radiations. This is necessary as we get exposed to lot of light like from tubelights, TV/Computer/Mobile screen.

3) Non Comedogenic sunscreens should be a choice as they do not clog pores and therefore are less prone for pimples or acne formation.

4) Very water resistant is better than water resistant especially for people who love swimming and sports. It means that the sunscreen will work for at least 40-80 minutes inspite of sweating or being immersed in water (swimming).

5) Formulations: Silicon Gel and Aqua Gel are better suited for oily skin, Lotions and creams for dry skin, Sprays and Lotions for larger body surface areas.

6) Others: many additive factors are added to the sunscreen for additional benefits like Anti ageing, Lightening, Moisturizing, Anti- pollution benefits. The exact value of such additives is debatable.

So while choosing your sunscreen, read the label well. Look for the above factors and then invest in your sunscreen.

Remember sunscreen should be applied everyday, in every climate even when it is cloudy, in all seasons be it rainy, summer or winter.

you need to reapply it every 4 hourly atleast for its optimum benefit, more frequently when you are outdoors.

GUIDE TO NON-SURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING

• Non-surgical skin tightening procedures work by using targeted energy instead of surgery.

• It involves heating deeper layers of skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production and gradually improves skin tone and texture.

• There are many FDA cleared skin tightening therapy on the market; each uses a unique mechanism to achieve the desired result.

Why consider non-surgical skin tightening?

• As we age, production of collagen and elastin—two proteins that help our skin stay plump, firm and smooth—slows down, resulting in sagging skin on the face, neck and body.

• If you are seeking solution for sagging skin, non-surgical skin tightening can be an ideal choice to halt this process temporarily and restore a firmer, smoother, more youthful appearance with little to no downtime.

BENEFITS OF NON-SURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING:

• Tightens mild to moderately sagging skin on the face, neck or body without surgery.

• Many therapy can provide a noticeable “lifting” effect.

• Little to no downtime is needed.

• Generally therapy can be performed in 1 hour or less.

• Results can last up to 1 year.

• Almost no side effects.

ULTRASOUND THERAPY  ALSO KNOWN AS ULTHERAPY:

• It uses focused ultrasound energy, which heats skin at specific depths and locations to cause collagen production and help skin become firmer.

• Therapy are done through a handheld device, which transmits the ultrasound waves through the skin’s surface.

• Ultrasound technology has been used in medicine for many decades, and ultrasound skin tightening has an excellent safety profile.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ULTRASOUND SKIN TIGHTENING:

• Ultherapy, the most widely used name brand, is FDA cleared to be done mostly on the face.

• Effectively treats early signs of aging on the face and neck.

• Alternative to facelift surgery.

• Therapy take 30 to 90 minutes, with no downtime.

• One of the main concerns with HIFU or UL therapy therapy for our patients is the level of discomfort. It can be a painful therapy for some, especially the deeper penetration.

• Side effects are typically mild and include temporary redness, bruising, and numbness.

• Results are seen within 2 to 3 months and can last up to a year with good at-home skincare.

RADIOFREQUENCY (RF) THERAPY

• Radiofrequency (RF) energy can also be used to heat the skin and trigger collagen production.

• In contrast to Ultherapy, RF focuses on epidermal layers to achieve a firmer, smoother appearance.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT RF SKIN TIGHTENING:

• FDA cleared options can treat the face, neck, hands, and body.

• Therapy can be performed in-office, typically involve little to no discomfort, and require no downtime.

• Gentle on the skin, so ideal for sensitive skin type.

• Results appear gradually over several months following therapy.

• A series of 2 to 6 therapy may be recommended for effective results

IPL/RF COMBINATION THERAPY

• A third class of skin tightening therapy combine intense pulsed light (IPL) with radiofrequency (RF) to heat deeper layers of skin and induce the natural healing response, which in turn triggers collagen production.

• The addition of IPL allows a provider to treat skin at multiple levels and can help focus the RF energy for more effective therapy.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT IPL/RF COMBINATION THERAPY:

• Therapy can be performed in-office with little to no downtime.
• Patients typically experience little to no discomfort.
• Results appear gradually as the skin produces new collagen.
• A series of therapy may be recommended for optimal results.

Drinking enough water helps the body to flush out toxins while giving you healthier skin. Studies have revealed that drinking just two cups of water can increase blood flow to the skin which gives it an even tone.

2. Prevents Premature Aging

Staying hydrated helps increase elasticity in the skin as it stays moisturised for longer. Heightened elasticity in the skin implies delayed sagging of the skin and no premature appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Faster Healing

If you have been out in the sun and got sunburnt, drinking water can speed up the healing process. Applying some aloe vera to sunburnt areas also proves to be immensely soothing.

4. Reduces Puffiness

When the skin looks puffy, it is actually retaining water to protect you from dehydration. This occurs when you don’t drink enough water. Staying hydrated will reduce swelling and puffiness in your face.

5. Prevents Acne

Drinking ample water balances the oil and water content on the skin of your face. This helps to prevent excess oil and sebum secretion, which means fewer clogged pores and acne.

Adult acne is getting more common these days due to busy lifestyles and lack of hydration. A study revealed that 4-6 people out of 100 in the age groups of 20-40 have adult acne.

6. No More Itchy Skin On The Face

Dry skin always tends to itch. It can even develop dry flakes and crack due to lack of moisture. Drinking enough water ensures your skin doesn’t get dry enough to itch.

7. Tighter Skin

Due to sudden weight loss, your skin can start to sag. To prevent your skin from sagging and to tighten it in areas where the sagging is prominent, like the upper arms, thighs, waist and jawline, drinking water helps as it revives the skin’s elasticity.

8. Maintains Your pH Balance

Sensitive, acne-ridden skin or problem skin due to various issues, can be revived to a healthy version with water. Your skin can glow and be free of blemishes if you drink enough water that will help to balance your body’s pH levels.

9. Prevents Heat-Related Skin Eruptions

Water prevents your body from heating up and normalises your body temperature. When your body heats up due to the weather or physical activity, drinking lots of water ensures that you don’t develop heat boils and rashes on your skin.

10. Promotes Healthy Gut, Meaning Clear Skin

Intake of water helps maintain a healthy gut and aids in proper digestion. It regulates your bowel movements, and flushes toxins from your body through urine and faeces. Only when this process is smooth and your gut is healthy, your skin will remain clear and free of issues.
