Acne Surgery
Acne surgery is an acne treatment option that must be done by a trained professional like a doctor, dermatologist, or esthetician. The most common form of acne surgery is drainage and excision; this is generally reserved for large cysts, which have not responded to medication and alternative therapies. Interlesional Corticosteroid Injection is another form of acne surgery used to treat severely inflamed cysts in an attempt to prevent scarring where corticosteroid is injected to "melt" the cyst away. Laser surgery is an increasingly preferred method of acne surgery, particularly because it can be done with relatively little pain; the accent laser is the instrument of choice for this type of procedure. Acne surgery can be rather expensive and this is especially true of laser acne surgery. If you are considering acne surgery the best place to begin is with a consultation with your preferred medical professional.
