Accutane
Accutane is the brand name for a prescription oral medication for acne called isotretinoin. Accutane is a derivative of vitamin A that treats acne by decreasing oil production in cells of the sebaceous glands and reducing the presence of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. It also reduces the size of the oil glands themselves and accelerates the rate of skin cell turnover. Accutane used to be reserved exclusively for persistent and severe acne breakouts but is now embraced by the American Academy of Dermatology as a safe and effective acne treatment for all severities and types of acne breakouts, including body acne and chest acne breakouts.
The main side effects associated with the medication are dry skin and increased photosensitivity. It is important that while taking Accutane, patients do not become pregnant, as the medication may cause serious congenital disabilities. Sun exposure should be limited, and patients on Accutane should use proper sun protection as well as refrain from consuming alcohol throughout their treatment. While on Accutane, monthly blood tests are required to monitor liver enzymes, white blood cell (WBC) count, and red blood cell (RBC) counts. Women are required to have monthly negative pregnancy tests. Accutane is controlled through the government-run iPLEDGE program. All blood tests and birth control methods must be documented and updated monthly in the iPLEDGE® system to prescribe Accutane for each patient. When Accutane is prescribed by an experienced dermatologist like Dr. Michele Green and taken as directed, it is an amazing medication to treat or completely get rid of acne breakouts, including body acne.
Chemical peels
An excellent treatment option for patients dealing with active acne breakouts or acne scars is glycolic acid or light Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) chemical peels. Superficial chemical peels are an exfoliating skin resurfacing treatment that accelerates the rate of skin cell turnover and can help unclog pores and clear away dead skin cells, which in turn reduces active acne breakouts. Additionally, by peeling away the top layer of the epidermis, new healthy skin is exposed, which can lighten spots of hyperpigmentation and stimulate collagen production to improve the appearance of acne scarring. Most patients require a short series of chemical peel treatments to achieve their desired results. The chemical peel itself is extremely quick and can take as little as a few minutes by an experienced board-certified dermatologist. Peeling will generally start 48 to 72 hours after the treatment and can last up to five-plus days, depending on the concentration of the peel.
