TREATMENT
Accutane for Acne Treatment
Isotretinoin (trade name: Accutane) is a powerful drug used in acne treatment. Four to five months of Accutane treatment usually leads to clearing of acne. It is a potent medication that is very effective for nearly all types of breakouts. Accutane is needed for moderate to severe acne that has failed other treatments. It should be used for a severe, scarring acne. Is also used for acne present for many years that has not respond completely to antibiotic pills and creams. While it has many side effects, in some ways it is safer than long-term antibiotic usage. This medicine can have serious side effects, however, so it must be prescribed and supervised by a specialist doctor.The MIRApeel technology has been introduced to Kenya for the first time by Avance Clinic
