How Skin Care and Acne Drugs and Treatments Work
| Information
about Accutane (Isotroin) |
Information
about Contractubex |
Most
Common Uses
Treats Cystic acne, Severe acne that has not
responded to treatment with oral antibiotics
How does
Accutane work?
Isotroin (Isotretinoin, Accutane) belongs to a group of
medicines known as retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin
A. It works by reducing the production of the skins natural oil
(sebum). Acne occurs due to an excessive production of sebum
from over-active sebaceous glands in the skin. The sebum blocks
the sebaceous glands, which prevents the oil from flowing freely
out and causes an accumulation of sebum under the skin. The
bacteria associated with acne thrive in these conditions. They
feed on the sebum, and produce waste products and fatty acids
that irritate the sebaceous glands, making them inflamed and
causing spots. Isotroin (Isotretinoin, Accutane) decreases the
size and activity of the sebaceous glands in the skin, which
reduces the amount of sebum that is produced. This stops the
glands becoming blocked

"I saw 15 years disappear from my face, in the mirror! I would not have believed how amazing Wonderlift was unless I saw it with my own eyes! The best part is people keep asking me if I've had surgery! The results are more impressive than any other product I have ever used... at any price! I will not be without my Wonderlift!"

"I was shocked when I realized how many wrinkles and lines I had begun to see in family pictures! My mother's best friend - who always looks great, told me about Wonderlift. She said she's been using it for over 15 years! I tried it for myself and could not believe how big a difference it made for me. I love it! Thank you Vikki."

Get the Facts; Not Fiction Behind Anti-Aging Products and Their Active Ingredients
The aging process begins when we enter the world and the
effects of aging are evident in our bodies through out our lives.
Beginning in our 20's, the signs of aging start to become noticeable.
Genetically programmed chronologic aging causes changes in collagen and
elastin, the connective tissues that supply firmness and elasticity to
the skin. The genetic program of individuals is different, so the loss
of skin firmness and elasticity occurs at different rates and different
times in one individual as compared to another. As skin becomes less
elastic, it also becomes drier and underlying fat padding begins to
disappear. With the loss of underlying support by fat padding and
connective tissues, the skin begins to sag; it appears less supple and
wrinkles form.
Although wrinkles, lines and age spots are formed by the natural effects of getting older, one way to prevent them from appearing early on in life is to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreens with SPFs 15 or higher. And, although most of us have some form of sun-damaged skin, there are ways to regain healthy, smooth skin. After many years of research, scientists, dermatologists and plastic surgeons have discovered that a variety of natural ingredients and vitamin extracts significantly help slow down and even reverse the signs of aging skin. These ingredients are now found in many physician developed and physician recommended anti-aging skin care products, which are specified below.
Vitamin A (Retinol)
- Topical Vitamin A has been suggested to help build collagen fibers within the skin in addition to its more superficial exfoliating property. This is the basis for its use in minimizing the appearance of fine wrinkle lines. Vitamin A or Retinol is the main ingredient found in TYK Young Again, M.D. Forte, DDF and SkinScience products.
Vitamin C - Vitamin C or ascorbic acid acts as an antioxidant and is considered vital in wound healing because it aids in stabilizing collagen. When applied topically, vitamin C can reduce fine lines and wrinkles and may lessen the severity of sunburns. This healing ingredient is found in SkinCeuticals, Cellex C and Obagi Cffectives skin care products.
Vitamin E - Vitamin E is another antioxidant that shows to have anti-inflammatory effects on the skin. When applied topically, vitamin E has been shown to improve moisturization, softness and smoothness and also provides modest photo protection. Vitamin E is found in Cellex C, Exuviance and MD Forte products.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) - AHAs are designed to smooth fine lines and surface wrinkles, to improve skin texture and tone, to unblock and cleanse pores, to improve oily skin or acne, and to improve skin condition in general. AHAs are the main ingredients found in MD Forte, TYK Young Again, Super Skin and SkinScience products.
Glycolic Acid - Glycolic acid is the most active and beneficial of the Alpha-Hydroxy-Acids (AHAs) in skin care. Once inside the cells, the acid triggers new formations of collagen to plump cells and the ground substances in the skin to reduce wrinkles on the skin's surface. Glycolic acid is proven to be very effective in the treatment of acne as well as in cosmetic uses. Glycolic acid is found in products by Gly Derm, MD Forte, Z. Bigatti and Super Skin.
N-6 furfuryladenine (kinetin) - The nature-identical plant growth factor, furfuryladenine, retards the aging of plant cells as well as in vitro human skin fibroblasts. This natural, anti-aging ingredient has been proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and is exclusively found in Kinerase creams and lotions. This is a proven alternative for people with sensitive skin or people who are sensitive to products containing Retinol and Vitamin C.
Copper Peptides are the latest scientific breakthrough in skin rejuvenation. Copper has been found to naturally firm the skin, enhance elasticity, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Copper is the main ingredient in products by Neova and Osmotics.
Pal-KTTKS - Pal-KTTKS is an effective ingredient for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It's found to promote a smoother, younger complexion quickly, without with out expensive and painful chemical peels, surgery or injections. This patented peptide solution is found in StriVectin-SD.
Green Tea Extract - Green tea's anti-inflammatory and anti-growth qualities are found in many skin care products designed to reduce the appearance of puffiness, wrinkles, fine lines and large pores. Green Tea is found in the Dr. Brandt skin care line, Z. Bigatti and Gly Derm products.
TNS - The biotechnology of the skin's natural healing process has arrived with the first tissue repairing complex containing growth factors found in normal, healthy skin. Unlike anything else currently on the market, TNS is the next level of skin rejuvenation that delivers dramatic results, for smoother, softer, younger looking skin. TNS is found in SkinMedica's TNS Recovery Complex.
Many customers ask which anti-aging product is best and we always respond by saying that there is no best product. Since every individuals skin is different, the results of using anti-aging products will be different as well. We recommend that you consult with a skin care professional prior to use of any new skin care product to determine your skin type, skin condition and possible sensitivities to active ingredients. Your skin care professional may recommend specific products, or you can try a few on your own based on your consultation. If you are not happy with the first product you try, try another one. It's important that you choose a product and skin care regimen that makes you feel 100% comfortable with the look and feel of your skin.
Customers also inquire about when they should expect to see results from using anti-aging products. Again, we respond by saying that results will be different for each individual, generally due to the condition of ones skin prior to use. However, across the board, we say not to expect a miracle, as there is no anti-aging product on the market that provides overnight results. Whether you are trying to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness or age spots, the process is gradual and takes anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks depending on the severity of your problem areas. After allowing the products time to take effect as well as following product directions, you can be sure to notice significant improvement in the appearance of your skin.
To see the quickest results, you will have to undergo professional cosmetics procedures. While procedures such as laser treatments, injections and dermabrasion produce the fastest, most noticeable improvements, they are all are somewhat painful or uncomfortable and very costly. In addition, pre and post treatment plans are required to achieve maximum results, which consist of using skin care products, that are also proven to be safe, effective, painless and less expensive alternatives to professional cosmetic procedures.
Please note that with the use of any new skin care product, it is highly possible that your skin will react to the ingredients. You may experience irritation, redness, dryness or a mild breakout, which should only last for the first 3-5 days of use. If you experience any of these reactions for a longer period of time, please discontinue use and consult a skin care professional. It is also recommended that prior to using any new skin care product to consult with a skin care professional.

| Comedonal Acne
Comedonal acne is characterized by the
presence of whiteheads and blackheads. There are certain topical
medications that are geared towards the treatment of these
blemishes specifically. For instance, topical tretinoin (Retin-A)
has long been considered the standard of treatment for comedones
or whiteheads and blackheads. Recently, however, some newer
topical medicines have been developed to attack these symptoms.
Nodulocystic Acne
Nodulocystic acne is characterized by large,
tender, red, and purple acne "bumps" or cysts under
the skin. It can be quite severe, disfiguring and emotionally
upsetting. Often this form of acne will not respond to
traditional topical treatments nor traditional antibiotics. It
is in these severe cases, that systemic isotretinoin becomes the
treatment of choice. It is quite effective most of the time. It
requires monitoring by a dermatologist skilled in using this
medication.
Everyone wants smooth,
blemish-free skin, and the emotional impact of acne, especially
on young girls, can be devastating. It's important to react, but
not overreact. Don't do permanent damage to skin by picking at
it. Keep your skin clean. See a professional if you feel any
medication is warranted. And have patience, as only time will
cure acne permanently.
|
Pustular Acne
Pustular acne appears just how it sounds. The
presence of small pustules or tiny red pimples characterizes
this form of acne. One recommended treatment is Rezamid
Acne Lotion. The best approach to this form of acne depends
on the severity. If it is mild, often over the counter Benzoyl peroxide lotions or washes may be effective. In
severe cases, benzoyl peroxide washes may not be enough, and
topical antibiotics may be prescribed. Topical erythromycin gel
2% is a traditional approach, though there are many new topical
medicines that are quite effective. Still, Pustular acne may be
so severe that topical medicines need to be used in conjunction
with oral medications. Classically, oral tetracycline has been
used to treat acne, but tetracycline has been found to cause
side effects, many of them quite serious. There are many newer
oral antibiotics that your dermatologist can recommend. For
very severe acne, systemic isotretinoin has become the treatment
of choice. This medicine is very effective at treating resistant
cases as well as severe cases of Pustular and Comedonal acne.
This medication requires careful monitoring by a skilled
dermatologist. |
Myths About Acne
according to the American Academy of Dermatology:
- Misconception: Poor hygiene causes acne.
Acne is not a result of dirt or surface skin oils. Vigorous
washing and scrubbing will irritate the skin and only make
acne worse. The best approach is to gently wash your face
twice a day with a mild soap, pat dry and use an appropriate
acne treatment.
- Misconception: Diet causes acne.
Studies haven't found a connection between diet and acne, so
eating chocolate, french fries or pizza won't cause acne or
make it worse.
- Misconception: Stress causes acne.
The ordinary stress of day-to-day living is not an important
factor in acne, but severe stress that needs medical
attention sometimes is treated with drugs that can cause
acne. If you think you may have acne related to a drug
prescribed for stress or depression, consult
your physician.
- Misconception: You have to let acne run its
course.
Acne can be cleared up. If the acne products you've tried
haven't worked, see a dermatologist.
