Article Body:
Acne Treatment focuses on quick acne cure and avoidance of acne scarring. As acne
progresses, the possibility of scarring increases. With surgical and physical
procedures doctors hope to bring quick healing to acne. These procedures are mainly
performed to drain acne, dry out the oil and reduce the size of sebaceous glands.
Let us look at some of these common procedures.

Comedone extraction- in this procedure the blackheads and whiteheads are removed by
doctor using sterile instruments. The extraction stops further growth. This
procedure may be combined with oral or topical treatment.

Cyst drainage- large cysts are drained and extracted skillfully by doctors to
remove the pus, dead cells, sebum and other matter that is accumulated in the large
cysts. This prevents cysts from further growth and scar formation is reduced.

Steroid Injection- Sometimes cysts are injected to dry them out with steroid. This
gives quick results.

Peeling and dermabrasion- with mild chemical peeling and microdermabrasion, the
epidermis is cleaned of dead skin cells, the pores are opened and acne is reduced.

Laser - Diode laser can be used to treat acne.

Light source- some lights such as blue light and green yellow lights are used to
kill P.acnes bacteria that creates inflammation in acne. Most of these procedures
are used along with topical or oral treatment of acne. The main objective is to
treat acne at a stage where scar formation will not take place.
