Laser para tratar el Acné

En el pasado, los Dermatólogos han usado todo tipo de técnicas para tratar el Acné, como la abrasión, excisiones, etc., no siempre con muy buenos resultados.
Durante la década de los 80 una nueva técnica comenzó a proporcionar resultados muy alentadores.
Se trataba de la aplicación del Láser sobre las zonas afectadas.
La Dra. Alster, del Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery y Georgetown University y sus compañeros fueron pioneros en la aplicación de Laserterapia para el tratamiento de estas patologías.
Desde entonces, los avances en la aplicación de Laserterapia en Dermatología han sido extraordinarios.
Hoy día ya es posible tratar una gran parte de las enfermedades cutáneas y defectos congénitos, incluidas lesiones vasculares y pigmentaciones, con una técnica que es rápida, efectiva y sin apenas efectos secundarios indeseados.
El American Academy of Dermatology es la Institución Médica más importante en el campo de la Dermatología en Estados Unidos.
La Dra. Tina Alster es una de las autoridades mundiales en el campo de la Dermatología.

SOLUCIÓN:
ResponderEliminarHola a todos, he padecido acné durante mi juventud y ningún tratamiento me era efectivo:
Para el acné severo no sirven de nada las cremas, la mejor solución natural, es tomar zumo de zanahoria, o zanahoria en pastillas, también omega 3 aceite de hígado de bacalao, no comer chocolate, ni alimentos grasos como bacón o fiambre, no tomar leche entera, cuidado con la comida rápida y con la bollería industrial. El beta-caroteno que se encuentra en la zanahoria, hace que la piel quede más seca y los omega 3 consiguen un mejor riego sanguíneo, con lo que conseguimos menos acné.
Si la situación es más grave, debemos acudir a un dermatólogo, ya que existen tratamiento muy efectivos con medicamentos, como el Roacutan, pero que solo deben utilizarse en el peor de los casos.
PD: Animo, con estas soluciones, en unos meses te olvidaras del acné!!
