Male Acne Treatment

The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It performs a protective function, shielding the body from infections and injuries. However, it can also be vulnerable – it's all about some malfunctions in the body.

Acne develops due to excess sebum production. Clogged sebaceous glands create an environment for bacterial growth and as a result acne swells on the skin surface. The reason for this and the points of acne prevention for men may be:

• increased production of male sex hormones – androgens;

• accumulation of dead skin cells;

• genetics;

• malfunctions of the endocrine system;

• infectious inflammation;

• improper men's acne skincare products or lack of them;

• disorders of the digestive tract;

• bad habits;

• frequent stress.

Unfortunately, more often acne appears on one of the most noticeable areas of our body – the face. Usually it is the upper back, chest, and shoulders as well. While the back and chest can be hidden behind clothes, the face is often in the public eye.

Acne severity classification

There are 4 grades of the disease. This classification was developed by the American Academy of Dermatology and is recognized worldwide for now.

• Grade 1 – comedones and up to 10 papules;

• Grade 2 – comedones, papules, up to 5 pustules;

• Grade 3 – comedones, papulo-pustular rash, up to 5 nodules;

• Grade 4 – severe inflammation with deep tissue involvement, forming painful nodules and cysts.

Effective masculine acne control methods

Here we will highlight several effective techniques carried out in “Seline” for men to eliminate acne and see a pronounced effect. The specialist will choose one of them or make a comprehensive treatment plan.

• Heleo 4 LED Mask: This innovative device uses four types of light therapy for comprehensive skin care. Blue light relieves inflammation, destroys pathogenic bacteria, and soothes irritated skin – exactly what you need to treat acne.
• BBL: the high–intensive, yet delicate effect of the broadband light serves to solve a huge number of aesthetic problems, including the rapid and effective treatment of acne and post-acne traces.
• Alexandrite Laser: Utilizing artificial alexandrite and chromium, this laser offers high penetration. Skin injury is excluded, while the device effectively copes with the task.
• Hardware microdermabrasion is a gentle polishing of the facial skin surface. Micro-polishing removes dead epidermal cells and activates tissue regeneration. To eliminate acne, post-acne, scars and rumens, a special diamond nozzle is more suitable.
• Mesotherapy. This injection technique is aimed at dealing with the source of acne – increased sebum production. The procedure allows you to regulate this natural process in the skin tissues, reducing its fat content, and has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect as well.
• Plasma therapy is a technique that uses the patient's own blood plasma enriched with platelets. A useful elixir contains growth factors that lead to renewal, improvement of metabolic processes and inflammation relief. It is suitable for patients prone to allergic reactions.
