increasingly widespread drugs on the market that can claim to cure acne. But many acne cause scars on the face of difficult or even not be eliminated. Now there is a new technique eliminates acne scars with skin taken from the ear.
Acne is a condition that is very annoying and affect about 90 percent of young people in their early teens and 20s years.
This condition is usually caused by hormone imbalance, which causes excess sebum or oil production. Acne treatment is usually in the form of various oral antibiotics, contraceptive pills to manage hormone, to lotions to make the skin more bright and clean.
Acne will almost always disappear with treatment, time or a combination thereof. But that raises a lot of acne scars that can not be lost.
During the last five years, lasers that stimulate collagen production has been used very successfully as a treatment for acne scars.
"But for people with very deep scars, laser can not even treat. The former is usually very visible acne on the face, it is difficult to be covered, even with make up though," says Dr Puneet Gupta, a general practitioner with special interest in dermatology.
According to Dr Gupta, dermatology experts are also considering to remove the scar and closing the wound with stitches. Unfortunately, this method leaves a scar itself.
However, Dr Gupta is a private practice in Harley Street Clinic, has started using ear skin grafts to fill and close the wound. Natalie Simonson (33 years) is one of the first person to undergo the transplant.
"My acne came when I was 18 years old and continued throughout the age of 20 years. Pimple many appear on the cheeks, chin, forehead and back. The doctor referred me to a dermatologist and I almost tried every treatment available, but most do not succeed, "explained Natalie.
Natalie admitted acne almost snatched all his life. The people on the street much fun of her and she was afraid to start a relationship dormitory. Natalie is also unemployed because there are too ashamed to face interview.
According to Dr Gupta, Natalie has four very deep hole, in the forehead, chin and her left cheek, which does not work with laser treatment. The largest has a depth of about 4 mm, so the doctor that the skin graft is the only alternative.
