Stubborn Adult Acne
Suggested Treatments:
Many people struggle with acne well into adulthood. Adult acne is more common and problematic in adult women. Adult acne often results from a combination of bacteria in the skin and the over production of oil. Traditional acne therapies are often either not effective, too irritating to the skin, or simply impractical.
A new treatment, called photodynamic therapy, is offering promise to individuals with stubborn adult acne. Photodynamic therapy involves the application of a liquid which makes the skin sensitive to light, followed by a laser treatment. This treatment targets the bacteria which are thought to play an important role in acne.
