Acne Can Attack Adults, Here's the Trick to Treat It Without Leaving Scars

Dream - Acne is one of the most common skin problems. It usually appears in the early stages of puberty, and this annoying red spots problem can also be experienced by adults.

Acne can occur in adults who are over 25 years old. The commonly affected areas are around the U-zone or cheeks, chin, and neck.

46 percent of the Indonesian population has acne skin problems. This problem can reduce a person's self-confidence.

Dr. Fitria Agustina, SpKK, FINSDV, FAADV, Dermato Venereologist, explained in the La Roche Posay Press Conference event in Jakarta on July 13, 2022, that acne can affect a person's quality of life.

Acne that is not treated properly can cause a long healing process and gradually decrease confidence. 

The most important thing you can do to treat acne on your face is to analyze the problem you have first. 

"The most important step is accurate skin analysis for a proper acne diagnosis, so that the severity of acne and the most appropriate therapy can be determined," said Dr. Fitria. 

The skin problem that usually appears after acne problems is deep scars that are difficult to eliminate. This problem can be overcome by undergoing acne therapy correctly and quickly to reduce the risk of acne scars.

Fitria revealed that another obstacle experienced by the Indonesian people in treating acne is the difficulty of accessing dermatologists. As a result, many people seek shortcuts by searching for answers on the internet, which unfortunately increases the risk of incorrect acne treatment. 

This is the difficulty that La Roche Posay is trying to overcome by introducing Effaclar Spotscan. This new brand that entered the Indonesian market last year wants to show its commitment by presenting advanced artificial intelligence-based technology developed by world dermatology to have a higher level of accuracy. 

This Effaclar Spotscan technology helps provide information in analyzing the severity of acne. By using the Global Evaluation of Acne (GEA) evaluation, which is a global evaluation scale to measure the severity of acne, patients can check for free the number of acne, blackheads, and acne scars they have.

Patients will also be directed to consult with dermatologists and receive recommendations for skin care products that suit their needs, as well as appropriate tips.
