Acne Scar Management: Causes and Treatments

Every year, acne affects more than 50 million people in America alone. Although the number of people who have acne is alarming, it does not get as much attention as other chronic diseases because people see it as a cosmetic problem.  For most people, acne begins around puberty and grow out of it by the time they are n their mid-20s. However, some people may continue to get acne until they are in their 30s, 40s or beyond. In fact, some people may also get acne for the first time as an adult. What causes acne? Picture this - There are about 2,500 to 6,000 sebaceous glands per square of the skin. These glands secrete an oily matter called sebum.

Galderma Laboratories, a medical solution provider in skin health, announced in November 2018 that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of  Restylane Lyft , one of their most popular Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal filler, with a cannula for cheek augmentation and the correction of age-related mid-face contour deficiencies in patients over the age of 21. For those who are unaware, a cannula is a thin, flexible tube with a small opening that provides an avenue for the delivery of fillers into the face. It can be done easily and with ease because of the  malleability of the needle. “I am glad that the U.S. FDA has approved the use of cannula to deliver Restylane Lyft for mid-face augmentation. I have always preferred to use cannula to deliver fillers especially in sensitive, hard-to-reach areas,” said Dr. Siew Tuck Wah , one of the leading aesthetic doctors in Singapore .

PicoSure Laser: Latest Laser Treatment for Everlasting Youth

The technology in cosmetic medicine changes very quickly, very much like the smartphone market. Just less than three years ago, Q-switched Nd: YAG Spectra laser was the gold standard for treating a wide variety of skin conditions such as pigments, melasma, and acne. In addition, the laser was an effective machine for minimising pores and breaking down tattoo pigments.  Even though doctors could achieve relatively good results with a Q-switched laser, people generally felt that the downtime was long. How does Q-switched laser work? Q-switched laser works by ablating the superficial layer of the skin and at the same time, stimulate the new collagen production for skin rejuvenation. The wavelengths target both superficial and deep pigmentation. Q-switched lasers traditionally rely on photothermal energy, delivering heat to the pigments and surrounding tissue.  Pico laser: Newest technology for younger-looking skin Pico Laser is the talk of the town, promising its
