TREATING GRADE 3 ACNE...

TREATMENT FOR INFLAMED ACNE CHICO      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


***GRADE 3 ACNE:
Grade 3 acne is classified as inflamed acne, where the dominant lesions are inflamed papules and pustules, but there may or may not be whiteheads and blackheads present.

Grade 3 acne responds best to antibacterials, anti-inflammatories and gentle products that will not exacerbate inflammation.  For this reason, Clarisonic-type brushes, scrubs, wash cloths, anything abrasive or products that feel warm/hot on the skin should be avoided. Icing the inflamed acne areas twice a day will help reduce the inflammation, and will help prevent scarring and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

As with other grades of acne, Grade 3 acne can also vary in severity. Even severe cases tend to respond quickly when the proper acne treatments are administered and acne products for home use are selected on a per case basis.

THE 916SKIN DERMATOLOGIST-DEVELOPED ACNE PROGRAM HAS PROVEN TO SUCCESSFULLY TREAT ALL GRADES OF ACNE WITHOUT THE USE OF RX MEDICATIONS. ACNE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE BY CALLING (530) 680.2027
