Project Happy Face Acne Treatment for Teens

AcneTreatmentsThatWork — Sun, 29 May 2011 18:41:02 +0000

There is a charitable organisation offerring acne treatments that work to teenagers. It is located in the US, Pasadena and run by Dr. Amy Gouley.

Dr. Gouley treats school going teenagers for free in return that for a few tasks. Such as getting good grades, smiling at strangers and getting involved in other community projects. The acne treatments and face washes are provided free to the students. The treatments she performs are simple and take time to work but it has helped boost the confidence and self esteem of the teens she treats.

Dr Gouley believe that helping people will help bring back more generosity and civility to society. When she is not treating teenagers, she is a normal paid GP doctor.

The organisation website is here at Project Happy Face dot org so please visit and show some support.

Depression and Acne Treatments

AcneTreatmentsThatWork — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:21:05 +0000

Another article on accutane and depression. This one has a personal story from a father who lost his boy.

"Mr Grant from Terenure, Dublin, claims his son Liam’s death by suicide in June 1997 was a side-effect of his use of the drug."

Here is the article from the Irish Times.

Very hard to say anything in face of a loss like that.
At the Acne Treatments That Work site I wish there was something I could do to make people believe acne is not the most important thing about you. And not the end of your world.

Thanks for reading and take care of eachother,

Accutane, Acne, Teens and Depression? Is there any truth to it?

AcneTreatmentsThatWork — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 16:26:08 +0000

This is some info for parents of teenage children on a recent study into the effect of accutane and depression or suicidal thoughts in teens. Accutane is one of the more severe acne treatments that work and really should be used last.

10 mg of an Accutane Tablet capsule.

The study was carried out in Norway.

“A new study, however, suggests that severe acne alone, apart and aside from using any drugs, can cause thoughts of suicide or depression.”

The full article is here at Acne impact more than skin deep, By Daniel Dunaief.

Ultimately you should research carefully and discuss with your Doctor before your teenage has accutane as a acne treatment. Accutane can be highly a highly effective acne treatment but there are a lot of side effects you need to understand before using, (Especially pregnant women should not use accutane at all.)

Acne can be very tough on teenagers and self-esteem issues and can get them down. You should of course keep an eye on your teenager and try to talk to them about any problems or feelings they have. You need to allow them to say whatever they have to say without repercussions to them. If only they knew how unimportant acne and looks are. All of this is easier said than done.

Thanks for reading and please let us know if you have any thoughts, stories or advice of your own on this.

Always glad to hear from you,

For when you Need Acne Treatments from a Doctor

AcneTreatmentsThatWork — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 22:01:21 +0000

Often we look ourselves for acne treatments that work but sometimes you can need the help of a doctor. A Doctor may be a road you have to take or a bridge in your journey to being acne free.

Here is how to get the most from your doctor for treating acne.

“The most important aspect of having an effective doctor visit is good communication. By keeping some facts or aspects about your condition from the dermatologist, you are only hurting your self by giving them an incomplete knowledge of the facts. The doctor can only base his diagnosis on what you have told him, so try to be thorough with the details about your acne. Tell them how long your cystic acne has been affecting you, what other treatments you’ve attempted.”

Acne for adults can be quite tiresome. They have done the acne treatments that work when they are younger and now it is back. It could also be adult rosacea as well. There is a lot of hope though. And also adults have more confidence and are able to deal with these issue better than when they were younger. Here is a good post with common causes of adult acne, similar to teenage acne too.

Lemonade or Acne Home Treatment

AcneTreatmentsThatWork — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:53:11 +0000

Lemons can be a lot more that an acne home treatment for your skin or as a natural detox. They can also be used for your hair, nails, breath and teeth.

“Lemon juice has many flavorful and healthy uses when added to foods and drinks. It also has a variety of uses for natural skin and beauty treatments as well.”

And then you can drink the leftovers, as fresh lemonade.

Hope you enjoy,

Richard. ;-)
