Patience is a Virtue

December 12th, 2005

In today’s world, everyone wants results right away. Unfortunately, when it comes to acne, true results usually take time. While some treatments can show results within 24 hours on individual blemishes (like the Zeno Acne Clearing Device), for more widespread acne, the way that many of the medications that are used to treat acne work can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to truly show their full benefit. Often times, we’ll see patients who say that the medications didn’t work and then later find out that they quit after a week or two.

So, be patient with your acne treatment regimen and understand that it may take even up to 6 weeks to see the true results. In the end, the wait will be worth it!
