Clinics abroad use modern medications and different types of procedures to treat acne. The goals of therapy are to stop the inflammatory process, prevent scarring and make existing scars less noticeable.
Medical treatment of acne abroad
As a rule, acne medications are aimed at reducing sebaceous gland secretion, improving metabolism in skin cells, and removing any infectious bacteria. These medications include retinoids, antibiotics, salicylic acid, and Dapsone. Antiandrogenic agents reduce the effect of the hormone androgen on the sebaceous glands. Isotretinoin is a very powerful drug that is prescribed to patients who are not helped by other drugs.
Therapies for acne treatment abroad
Acne can turn into a chronic disease. Even if the problem was only in adolescence, lifelong scars, depressions and age spots remain on the skin. Korean clinics help to remove these unpleasant consequences in modern ways.
Dermabrasion. This procedure is used to minimize minor scars, minor skin surface irregularities, and acne scars. The process involves removing the top layers using a special absorbent machine. When the skin recovers from mechanical stress (usually after 5-7 days), its surface becomes smoother and more monotonous. Microdermabrasion is a less invasive option and consists of a series of procedures.
Chemical peeling. This method is often used to reduce sun damage to the skin, abnormal pigmentation, and superficial scars. During the procedure, the upper skin layer is removed using a special medicine. After the skin recovers, its appearance improves.
Injections of dermal filler. A dermal filler is injected under the patient's skin to replenish the collagen level. Injections are used to reduce wrinkles, scars and facial lines.
Laser resurfacing. High-energy light is used to treat acne abroad. It helps to reduce wrinkles and remove small scars.
Surgery for skin treatment abroad
If the scars and depressions are very large, foreign clinics perform skin transplantation. Severely damaged areas are cut off, and the skin from the back of the earlobe is installed in their place.
To rejuvenate the appearance of the face, adipose tissue transplantation is performed. Fat from another part of the patient's body is injected under the surface of the skin to smooth out scars and wrinkles. This method is used to correct deep defects caused by acne.
During acne treatment abroad, combination therapy is sometimes used. For example, cryotherapy is combined with intramuscular steroid injections, which helps to improve the smoothing effect.
