BEST TREATMENT FOR ACNE CHICO, CA 916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC
ICE OR HEAT TO HELP TREAT ACNE...
Whether you've got a pimple, papule or a cyst, applying ice helps to reduce pain, swelling, redness and PIH (the red or brown mark left on your skin after an inflamed acne lesion has healed). Notice the emphasis on the word "helps." Icing also helps with product penetration. Apply ice to the inflamed lesion for about 60 seconds morning and night. Next apply an anti-bacterial. Initially, it will appear more red, but as time passes the redness will subside.
Heat. There are different types of heat. Heat from a hot compress can help draw the pimple to a head, but it also exacerbates the inflammation and increases your risk of PIH. You are better off icing and applying an anti-bacterial. Heat devices such as laser, light and LED therapies typically use low level heat to kill acne bacteria (p. acnes). Heat therapies can be effective when done as a series and in combination with the proper daily skincare regimen.
