Acne: Benefits of Early Treatment

Acne is a skin condition that commonly develops during adolescence. However, acne also occurs in individuals in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.

For adults, having acne can be quite frustrating.  While some choose to let their acne run its course, doing so may not be the best option. Without treatment, acne can result in dark spots and permanent scars, which can negatively affect a person’s self-esteem.

 

Treating acne early has many benefits. Here are some of the most important ones:

Get faster results – It takes less time and resources to clear a few pimples than a full-blown acne breakout that could include blackheads, whiteheads, and deep cysts.

Reduce scarring – Treatment reduces scarring, especially for severe acne.

Stop continued breakout of lingering spots – Treatment prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or the appearance of a dark spot when an acne pimple, cyst, or nodule clears.

Prevent acne worsening – Treatment prevents mild acne from becoming severe.

Lower the chance of requiring stronger treatment – Severe acne requires strong medicines which are more expensive, require more clinic visits, and have more side effects. With treatment, acne is controlled and does not worsen.

Boost your self-esteem – An acne-free face and body can do wonders to a person’s confidence.

Consult your dermatologist for more information on acne prevention and treatment.
