A Houston-based company has come up with an innovative way to get rid of pimples – and it works!

It’s a hand-held battery operated medical device that is designed to zap acne away. The idea behind this nifty little device is that pimples come about when the skin is clogged by an overproduction of oils in the skin. This, of course, creates the perfect environment for bacteria to breed.

However, if you can get rid of the resulting bacteria, the pimples will also go away. This little hand-held device is designed to effectively, but safely heat the acne to an ideal temperature that will cause the bacteria to self-destruct. Two treatments lasting about 2 ½ minutes long is all it takes and you can kiss your acne and pimples away. It’s safe, painless and effective and in just 24 hours you will be pimple-free. It’s a little pricey but many people are having success with it in terms of it being able to get rid of pimples quickly.

The speed by which it gets rid of pimples is the one factor many people seem to appreciate. This is important especially if you’ve got a big meeting, job interview or something like this coming up and suddenly you have an eruption of pimples or acne on your face. You won’t have time to waste and you will want to get rid of the pimples pretty quickly to avoid any embarrassment that you might feel. Well, no medication or even home-remedy can get rid of pimples that fast – but that’s where this little device comes in.

You apply this device to your pimple 3 times in a 24 hour period for 2 1/2 minutes each time and the next morning your pimple should be gone or greatly diminished. The nice thing about it is that when you use it on your pimples it keeps the resulting spots, blemishes, and scars from forming that many people with acne tend to get.

Disadvantages:

The one disadvantage that this product seems to have is that the device works by zapping pimples one at a time. So if you have a lot of pimples over a wide area of your skin it will take you some time to zap each pimple away. However, I think that this is a small price to pay for acne that can really ruin your day.

Also, although the product works on all types of acne, it seems to work best on newly formed pimples. So, as soon as you notice a pimple forming you should use the device to treat the problem. Shortly thereafter you will notice a reduction in swelling and any redness that may have been there. And in 24 hours it should be gone altogether!

Most people with mild or moderate acne will recover from the condition without serious scarring. In cases of severe acne, however, scarring is almost inevitable. But don’t give up hope — new acne treatments can minimize scarring and existing scars can be removed with a variety of techniques.

Most pimples leave behind a discolored patch of skin. This is not really a scar and will usually clear up by itself within one year. Marks or skin defects that remain longer than one year are considered to be scars and can be treated.

Preventing Scars

Acne scars can be prevented through a program of active treatment and self-control. One of the worst things you can do to pimples is to pick them. Some people try to squeeze or remove blackheads or whiteheads but this is the worst thing that you can do. Not only will the bacteria which causes acne spread, the skin can be damaged which leads to permanent scarring.

Mild cases of acne can usually be self treated by natural remedies or with over-the-counter medications but more severe cases should be treated by a dermatologist. The doctor can prescribe oral medications as well as topical ointments for use on the skin. In some cases, the doctor will also physically remove blackheads or whiteheads and lance and drain pus filled nodules. The dermatologist uses surgical instruments which have been sterilized, so these procedures should never be attempted at home.

Pimples form on the skin because of the presence of bacteria. The bacteria damages and inflames the skin. Once the acne has cleared up, the skin may appear discolored — this is part of the natural healing process, and the discolorment will disappear after a period of time.

This healing process can be sped up with the use of medications like Retin-A, Renova, and Alpha-Hydroxy Acids. Sunshine can damage the skin and thereby delay the healing process, so sunscreens should always be worn outside.

Above all, avoid picking scabs that may form over old acne lesions. Scabs are a necessary part of the healing process and picking them off unnecessarily exposes the skin which extends the time necessary for scars to heal.

Treating Scars

Existing scars left over from acne can be treated in a number of ways. If scars are not too severe, a chemical peel can be applied to the skin. This effectively removes the microscopic top layer of the skin allowing the cells underneath to rejuvenate.

More severe scarring can be treated with lasers or dermabrasion. Lasers remove the damaged layer of skin and tighten the skin underneath to raise the depression caused by the scar. The process can be mildly painful so the dermatologist may use an anesthetic to numb the pain. The healing process after laser treatment takes about 3 to 10 days.

Dermabrasion removes scars by actually scraping away the surface of the skin where the scarring occurs. During the healing process a new layer of skin is formed to replace the scarring. Both dermabrasion and laser treatments can cause the skin to turn red, but this discolorment will disappear after several months.

There are many forms of acne. It ranges from mild to severe and can be found on various parts of the body. Mild acne can usually be self treated, but severe cases are best left to health professionals like dermatologists.

The most common type of acne is Acne Vulgaris which literally means ‘common acne.’ This type of acne can cause blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts.

Blackheads - Blackheads occur in partially blocked pores. Sebum (the substance which causes oily skin), dead cells, and bacteria are slowly draining to the surface of the skin and the black color is caused by the pigments in the skin being exposed to air. Blackheads can take a long time to clear up.

Whiteheads - Unlike blackheads, whiteheads are contained beneath the surface of the skin. They are caused by completely blocked pores which trap the sebum, dead cells, and bacteria.

Papules - These are small red bumps on the skin. They are tender and cause irritation, but it is important not to touch them or squeeze them. Doing so may cause scarring.

Pustules - Pustules are what most people call pimples or zits. They appear as a red circle with a white or yellow center.

Nodules - These are much larger than other forms of acne. They are hard lumps underneath the surface of the skin which can be painful and last for several months. This type of acne is particularly vulnerable to scarring, so it is advisable to have it treated by a dermatologist.

Cysts - Cysts are similar to nodules except that they are filled with pus. They are painful and likely to scar if untreated. Like nodules, they should be treated by a dermatologist.

Acne Conglobata - This is a relatively rare form of acne vulgaris but it is extremely disfiguring and can cause severe psychological as well as physical suffering. Large lesions form on the face, chest, back, buttocks, upper arms, and thighs and can be accompanied by numerous blackheads. It causes damage to the skin and permanent scarring. It is more common in males than females, and the condition can persist for several years.

Acne Fulminans - This is a sudden appearance of Acne Conglobata accompanied with a fever and aching of the joints. It is usually treated with oral steroids.

Gram-Negative Folliculitis - This condition may be caused by long-term treatment of acne with antibiotics. It is a bacterial infection which causes pustules and cysts.

Pyoderma Faciale - This type of acne only affects females usually between the ages of 20 and 40. It causes large painful pustules, nodules and cysts on the face and may leave permanent scarring. It most often occurs in women who have never experienced acne before and usually clears up within a year.

Acne Rosacea - This form of acne usually affects people over the age of 30. It causes a red rash on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. There may also be pimples and other skin blemishes. It occurs more often in females than males, although men often have more severe symptoms. It is a different form of acne than Acne Vulgaris and treatment is different for the two types.

As most of you know I’ve recently started a new acne series which, when it’s all said and done may turn out to be a 15 part series. As of today I’ve written about 4 articles in that series and the rest will be added on a daily basis until I get to the end of the series. To see what I’ve written on the subject so far, check out the acne category.

Starting with this article, however, I’d like to start a little survey/questionaire for website visitors out there: What are some (hopefully natural) ways you’ve either heard of or tried to get rid of pimples?

Please share your tips (for getting rid of pimples) by clicking on the comment link that appears just after the title of this post.

The really nice thing about participating in this survey is that when you leave your tip you will also be able to subscribe to this comment thread so you’ll get an email when someone else shares their tip with us.

In the end, what I’ll do is compile a nice list of all the tips and ways to get rid of pimples and acne that everyone has shared here on the blog (if you subscribed to this post when you leave your comment then you’ll get notification of this as well) and that posting will be the grand finale of my series on acne which I will post at the end.

Sooo, to start off I’ll list a few ways that I’ve come across to get rid of pimples/acne and then I’d like you to share yours:

1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. Any brand should do.

2. Thyme and lemon lotion Boil several sprigs of fresh thyme in 2 cups of water for two minutes and leave to infuse for five. Strain and add the juice of 1/2 lemon, Use this to rinse the face at least twice a day.

3. Take a herbal tea bag and drench it in warm water and rub it all over your face. Leave it on for 3 minutes, then rinse it with cold water and pat dry. If there is a little redness it will go down leave your face smooth and toned.

4. Apply tomato pulp to the affected area and leave on for 1 hour, then rinse.

It’s everyone’s worst nightmare. Waking up the day before a special event to discover a big, red pimple baring itself for all to see right on your face!

Here’s how to get rid of it quickly and safely:

1. Don’t ever pinch, squeeze or pick at a pimple. This only causes it to become more red and inflamed, and will spread the bacteria and oils that caused it in the first place, to other parts of your face! It can also lead to scars.

2. Every 30 minutes, apply an ice pack to the pimple and hold it there for about 2 minutes. This will decrease the swelling and redness and help shrink the inflammation and pain that sometimes comes along with it.

3. They don’t call it concealer for nothing! Covering the pimple with a light dose of flesh-tinted concealer can help mask it when you’re in a hurry. It also helps cover up that oily shine.

4. Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or a specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but don’t rub too hard, otherwise you’ll sap your skin of its own natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.

5. Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne medicines contain these ingredients) to the blemish or around the entire facial area. Note that these ingredients both have a tendency to dry out skin if used too much and are not recommended if you have sensitive skin.

6. Wear oil-free makeup whenever possible. These types have less of a tendency to cause the pore buildup that results in blemishes. Remove your makeup nightly and cleanse with an acne-fighting medicine to remove dirt, oil and makeup from deep within the skin.

7. If you’re in need of a quick fix, a dab of toothpaste on the affected area right before bed can help soothe irritation and reduce redness. Pressing and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton ball with a dab of lemon juice against the blemish for five minutes can also reduce swelling and redness.

If you follow these tips, chances are you’ll notice a significant difference rather quickly – often within a day or two. If pimples become a recurring problem or worsen, your doctor or dermatologist can suggest a daily skin cleansing routine that will suit your skin type. Other long-term remedies, such as facial masks, diet adjustments and increasing the amount of water you drink can also help combat outbreaks.
