It has various other benefits such as skin tightening, reduced blackhead & pore size and collagen stimulation.

Medical TreatmentAntibiotics & Oral contraceptive pills may be used as an adjunct to the above treatments to enhance the effects. Photodynamic TherapyPhotodynamic Therapy, (PDT), Uses ALA (aminoleulenic acid) which gets absorbed by the acne affected skin, leaving the normal skin intact. A light source is used to activate the ALA which produces free radicals that destroy the abnormal cells. This is a very effective treatment for severe acne with pleasing results.
