Salicylic acid acne and lotrisone cream for acne

Blue light acne treatment works by killing acne causing bacteria, the P acnes. It is also being used to treat inflammatory acne vulgaris in some cases. Patients receive the blue light acne treatment is increments. It is normally an 8 session treatment period that is usually broken down to twice a week treatments. The sessions last approximately 15 minutes. When treating acne vulgaris the blue light may be used in conjunction with aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Treatment will vary depending on the severity of the acne problem.
I bought the Marvel Mini Blue to test it out. Visually, it has the shape of a hair brush. The head has an array of these little LEDs which emit the blue light. You start the treatment by turning the unit on and applying it to the area which needs treatment. The unit has two light modes, pulsing and constant light. You alternate pulsing and constant light for 15 minutes in 3 minute intervals. The unit beeps every 3 minutes so you know when to change modes. Doing this twice a week is recommended. I tried the unit on a red bump that was starting to show. In about 2 days, the bump disappeared.
Eating carrots will provide beta carotene or vitamin A to your body. This strengthens the protective tissue of the skin and also prevents acne. It reduces the production of sebum. This vitamin is an essential ingredient for the maintenance and repair of the tissue that the skin and mucous membranes are made off. It is also a powerful antioxidant that helps your body get rid of body toxins. Remember that deficiency of vitamin A can result in acne.
