Body Acne, more popularly called pimples, can appear all over the body. They can cause social discomfort, pain, and traumas for life. Although there are a lot of treatments that can help with the appearance and scars of this condition, there are also some devices that you can use at home to improve your condition.
One great example is the Proactiv Deep Cleansing Body Brush, particularly for back breakouts. This brush easily goes to hard-to-reach regions and comes with two attachments. The silicone cleaning head ensures that cleansers and treatments act deeper, while the texturized fastener head helps speed up cellular turnover and unclog pores.
The LightStim Acne Device is a tool that helps to calm and heal existing blemishes and reduce breakouts by eliminating acne-causing bacteria. It has a non-invasive therapy that uses UV-free blue and red lights that work together to destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation without damaging or drying healthy skin.
Lastly, a High-Frequency Acne Device can be handy. The company Stacked Skincare has an option that comes with four different probes and acts by using an argon gas electrode to emit a small electrical current that generates oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen travels into the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria within blemishes while reducing inflammation and redness. It also shortens the lifespan of blemishes, preventing future breakouts and reducing the likelihood of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
It is important to note that the proper acne treatment can only be done by reliable dermatologists and may involve medicaments, and/or more invasive treatments can be dangerous to perform alone.
