Five treatment options for patients with acne vulgaris

If you are troubled by acne and are looking for skincare solutions for pimples, Dr. Ahmadur Rahman and his team at Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine in Manhattan and Jamaica, Queens, New York, are available to help you treat and manage your condition. For those diagnosed with acne vulgaris, we have several solutions to help combat this and other common skin problems.

What is acne vulgaris?

Dr. Ahmadur Rahman and his team describe acne vulgaris as a very common skin condition that affects millions of people of all genders and ages worldwide. It is characterized by pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads on the face, neck, back, and chest. Acne vulgaris can be both emotionally and physically distressing for those who suffer from it, but thanks to continued improvements in skincare and dermatology, many individuals have a variety of options available to keep it under control.

Five treatment options for acne vulgaris

At Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine, we will evaluate your skin and decide what treatment might be best for your condition. Below are five possible treatment options that our team may recommend:

• Topical treatments. These include treatment creams, gels, and lotions that contain active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids. These products target the root causes of acne, like excess oil production and clogged pores.
• Oral medications. In more severe cases of acne vulgaris, oral antibiotics or birth control pills might be prescribed to help reduce inflammation and regulate hormones. Isotretinoin, a powerful oral medication, is also an option for those with more severe or even persistent acne.
• Chemical peels. This treatment involves the manual application of a chemical solution to the skin’s surface to exfoliate the upper layers and unclog pores. It can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
• Light therapy. This treatment uses different types of light, such as blue or red light, to target bacteria and reduce inflammation in the skin. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments.
• Lifestyle changes. Along with medical treatments, lifestyle changes can help improve acne vulgaris. This includes maintaining a healthy diet, practicing good hygiene, and managing stress levels.
