Acne is agonizing. With an etiology that is complicated and often unknown, acute unpleasantries and long term results such as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring, it is as clear as the skin we covet why the industry is churning out new and improved ways to combat it. The options to treat acne are no longer limited to topical wonders such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide and retinols, nor are they limited to spa services rendered. The devices available today to combat acne are long time treatment room warriors, many with versions available for at-home retail.
