LASER: The Ultimate Acne Terminator?
By Jaynne Nicols
Acne is really a big deal to anyone that suffers from it! It is major problem for almost all the teenagers, not only in this country, but also in all parts of the globe. Everyone wants to get rid of it! In fact, there is a wide variety of things that can actually help you cure it. You can make a paste or mask from different kinds of plants and herbs or just buy non-prescription products on the nearest store. However,You should know that these are just meant to handle mild to moderate acne problems. So, when these products and procedures are not working well for you, it is advisable to see and consult a doctor for advise.
There are really extreme cases when acne can't be treated just by self medication. Your doctors can offer you a more potent drug, or he/she can suggest another good option - acne laser treatment. In our present day, technology is changing our world faster than we think! Through the advance of science, we can now take advantage of LASER technology further in medical operations. Medical specialists say that undergoing acne LASER treatment is one of the most advance and, probably, the most effective treatment you can have to totally get rid of acne today. This amazing procedure will surely give hope to people who are greatly suffering with their acne. We have already used LASER treatment on acne scarring successfully for years, but it is truly a breakthrough to be used in treating existing acne. The question now is how can acne LASER treatment actually cure acne? Is it safe and effective?
How can that
be?
Acne LASER Treatment is done by applying extreme thermal or heat effect on the sebaceous glands in order to damage it. Studies prove that the laser equipment used in the operation can actually do four treatments in one-month intervals. Statistics shows that 16 out of 17 patients got a 100% success on clearing the face. Test through skin biopsy immediately afterwards the operations revealed that the sebaceous glands showed alterations caused by the induced heat, decreasing the production of oil. Immediate proofs that acne LASER treatment is taking a postive effect!
Two Types of LASER
In performing acne LASER treatments, doctors are actually using two types of LASERs. One type deal with the inhibition of the bacterial growth that causes skin problems, while the other is made to work with the sebaceous glands in order to reduce the production of oil in particular parts of the body especially the face.
Still Under investigation
Even if it already proved to be a success on totally eradicating your acne, doctors admitted that acne LASER Treatment is still under research to further study its short and long-time effects. Thus, it is still not available yet for widely use to everyone. The patients should also know that insurance is not covered in the acne LASER treatment and that not all states can distinguish who are and who are not allowed to perform operations using LASER. Medical specialists also warn that procedures that require the use of LASER should be done by qualified physicians only. It is also suggested that you should ask for the qualification of the one that will do the operation before undergoing acne LASER treatment.
How many? for how long?
Your doctor might suggest that you undergo acne LASER Treatment for about 5 months, one treatment every month, in order to get satisfying results. However, if acne reappears, additional acne LASER treatment done periodically will be required.
How does it feel?
You might wonder how it feels undergoing the procedure. Well, most patients say that acne LASER treatment will give you a rubberband-like sensation during the operation. If ever you find this uncomfortable, you are given the choice to have topical anesthetic cream applied directly on your skin.

- Prescription Risks plus Labeling Concerns equal A Diagnosis Disaster
Recents estimates show at least one in three children are wrongly diagnosed with the ADD/ADHD, says a group of senior medical experts from Australia. This goes a long way to demonstrate that the misdiagnosis of ADD/ADHD is a mounting problem.
<br>
These researchers indicated that there is no proven evidence of the long-term benefits of typically prescribed medications for ADD/ADHD. With all the possible side effects caused by prescription medication, this truely gives ADD/ADHD suffers, or their parents, something to consider.
- Are the Foods You're Eating Doing More Harm than Good? Find Out..
The old adage You Are What You Eat is rings even truer when you consider that the foods you eat can be doing your body more harm than good.
<br>
While prescription medications are often used even though they can cause significant side effects, most people are not aware of the importance of nutritional intake.
<br>
Studies show that the foods you eat can have significant effects on behavior and can work for you or against you. This is especially true if you are struggling with ADD/ADHD.
- Colds, the Flu, ADD/ADHD and YOU
Although staying healthy as seasons change is important for everyone... it is especially true for those with ADD/ADHD. Did you know that adding a cold and flu remedy to the mix can potentially aggravate ADD/ADHD symptoms?
<br>
Most common cold medicines have some side effects on the central nervous system, which can be unpredictable. While some people may experience drowsiness, dizziness, insomnia, or upset stomach, others may experience a rapid heart beat or hyperactivity.
- Stop - 8 Natural Immunity Boosters You Can't Miss
Before resorting to over-the-counter pills and cough syrups-- which many times have side effects, and in some instances even contain alcohol-- give your body a helping hand in building a strong immune system by using nature’s resources to restore balance and optimal functioning in your body.
<br>
Healthy digestion is the first step in boosting immunity: Believe it or not, if your digestive system isn’t functioning at its best, you may also be forcing your immune system to work extra hard. This occurs because the body will take enzymes from your immune system to aid digestion. A balanced diet that includes fiber, lean protein and probiotic-rich foods will do wonders for your digestive system and immune system.
- Halting Illness with Hygiene
Is the key to staying healthy during cold and flu season as simple as hygiene?
It’s a fact; we are surrounded by germs no matter where we go: the supermarket, public transportation, work, everywhere! Our body can handle most of what we come in contact with, but with the fall season around the corner, you can be more proactive in taking steps to protect yourself and your family.
<br><br>
Our workspace is also more often then not the culprit of infectious diseases. Phones, mouses, and keyboards should be wiped down on a regular basis, and if you eat at your desk, you should clean it right after you eat. Also, it is not a good idea to store food at your desk.

Learn the difference between a common cold and the flu
The fall season brings about beautiful crisp weather, changing leaves and the imminence of Thanksgiving. It also brings the start of the dreaded cold and flu season.
<br><br>
Because of temperatures dropping, people tend to spend more time indoors, providing cold and flu viruses the perfect opportunity to spread from person to person. In addition, many extra people are traveling, and holiday stressors also tend to weaken a normally functioning immune system.
