Spot Treatment

December 31st, 2005

Well as the year is coming to an end and many people will be out celebrating, we thought this would be a good time to talk about spot treatments. Though there is no overnight or immediate cure for a pimple, some things can be done to make individual blemishes disappear as quickly as possible.

In the prescription medication arena, probably the two best spot treaters are Sulfacet R and Vanoxide HC. Sulfacet contains sulfur and helps to dry up individual blemishes. Vanoxide HC is a combination of benzoyl peroxide, which helps to dry up pimples, and a touch of hydrocortisone which is good at calming inflammation.

Perhaps the newest weapon in the war on individual blemishes is the Zeno Acne Clearing Device. Zeno works by applying heat directly to the blemish which activates certain proteins in the body that fight bacteria. Zeno has been shown to clear 90% of treated blemishes in 24 hours.
