Teen Acne Treatment
Microcurrent & Light Therapy
This successful acne treatment protocol addresses all the contributing factors to the development of acne. Combined Microcurrent & Light Therapy reduces skin redness, pain and inflammation. It speeds up the healing of each individual pimple, reduces scarring and promotes new tissue regeneration. It also pulls impurities out of the pores/bumps so new pimples don't get a chance to form. (no needles, no chemicals, no pain)
Acne Treatment Step by Step
All you have to do is remove makeup/product from your skin, lie down and relax. You don’t feel a thing. After 60 minutes of having a wand gently glide over your acne, you get up and go back to having fun without any tell-tale signs of redness indicative of some acne treatments. In the next 2-3 days the skin-healing takes place all by itself; all you have to do is drink more water. That’s it. Easy peasy. What most teens notice is that the bumps go down, the itching and pain is reduced, and the acne sores that were already open or scabbed heal much quicker.
Microcurrent is a painless treatment using frequencies of barely-detectable current to heal skin and decrease inflammation in any tissue. When it comes to the skin, microcurrent treatment has an excellent track record of decreasing the presence of acne on the face, chest and back.
The latest state-of-the-art Light Therapy stimulates cells in the body to help them metabolize faster to heal acne lesions, reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. The bacteria that causes acne is destroyed, but the healthy skin cells are untouched. This stimulates the body's cells and speeds the healing process reaching the deeper layers of skin without harming the skin's surface.
Clinical experience confirms that that these two forms of energy stimulation significantly enhance each other's effects when administered together.

There is much reason to worry when it comes to the effects of harsh chemicals in chemical acne medications, which can most likely do more damage than good in treating acne*. The side effects of anti-acne products might also clog and stress the liver, which will cause toxin build-up, worsening your acne problem. Do not forget that the make-up of the skin makes it porous, so that it can easily take in the chemical additives of the acne treatments you use. Therefore, applying treatments that have potentially dangerous chemical additives, which enter deep into the skin and into the bloodstream, poses a great risk to your skin and overall good health.
Most chemical acne medications treat acne from the surface, and not from its foundation.
There is more to ridding yourself from acne than unblocking pores and killing bacteria. The causes of acne go deeper than the surface of the skin.
Acne Causes
Acne can have multiple causes and multiple triggers. Hormone imbalances, allergies, reaction to SPF (sunblock), stress, smoking, drug reactions, nutritional deficiencies, poor dietary habits, clogging make-up or powder, and over washing/exfoliation of the skin can all play a role in acne. The skin is the largest organ in the body and has a role in detoxifying the body. If the body contains more toxins than the liver and kidneys can effectively eliminate, the skin takes over eliminating. As toxins escape through the skin, the skin’s healthy integrity is disrupted.
Main Causes of Acne:
1) A hormonal fluctuation/imbalance releases excess oil on the skin causing acne.
2) A build-up of toxins within the body is a large cause of acne. For the most part, how extreme your acne problem is, equals to how toxic the inside of your body is.
3) Heat and Dampness buildup within the body
Acne Herbs
To manage these issues post-treatment, there are inexpensive and effective choices such as herbal pills and herbal teas to balance hormones and reduce toxins in the long run to prevent future breakouts. Herbal pills greatly eliminate the root cause of your acne.
For hundreds of years, people have solely depended upon the healing properties of plants, herbs and fruits to obtain relief from acne. During the age when there were no convenient drugstores, people searched the forests hunting for herbs and plant leaves, tree bark, fruits and roots, which were used to make skin cleansing products. Both for oral and topical use, herbal cures have proven their safe and successful healing ability in relieving skin problems such as acne.
More and more individuals see the dangerous health threats of the side effects of drug and chemical derived OTC acne products.
Since the determinants that lead to acne flare-ups extend to internal and environmental factors, the most successful way to eliminate acne is to work from the inside out. Internal body cleansing and continued regular and efficient bodily functions can be assisted greatly with specific detox herbal formulas in the form of pills or teas. Diet is important to aid the body in naturally ridding and stopping the accumulation of toxins. Many herbal pills are antiseptic and antibacterial, helping you eliminate your acne problems forever, (they are chemical-free and side effect-free too). Ask which ones are suitable for your constitution.
Long Term Acne Treatment
Acne treatment for severe acne that does not respond quickly to initial treatment, typically involves two treatments a week for six weeks. The time frame is similar to that experienced by patients being treated with Accutane, an oral medication often prescribed for severe acne. However, the side effects involved are non-existent with this natural treatment.

*Benzoyl Peroxide Classification:
Some acne products use Benzoyl Peroxide. In 1995, the FDA changed the classification of Benzoyl Peroxide which means that the FDA doesn't know whether or not the product is safe for long term use.
