Acne is a condition of the skin that develops when the oil glands in our skin produce too much sebum and the skin pores become blocked . Bacteria develop in these clogged pores and causes inflammation – hence the appearance of acne.

 

A blackhead or whitehead can expel its contents to the surface and heal. Or , the follicle wall can rupture and inflammatory acne can ensue . This rupture can be caused by random occurrence or by picking or touching the skin. This is why it is important to leave acne prone skin relatively untouched.

An inflamed lesion can sometimes completely collapse or explode, severely inflaming the surrounding skin, and sometimes engulfing neighboring follicles.

BiON products can achieve remarkable results with each patient within three to four weeks. Most acne products try to kill the acne bacteria with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. They don’t address the other issues that cause acne, such as excessive sebum production. Benzoyl peroxide can cause premature skin aging, slow healing and is associated with increased skin cancer risks, for instance.

BION acne treatment regimens effectively control acne in more than 90% of the cases, frequently resulting in no visible appearance of acne. These products are more effective than many antibiotics and prescription treatments, with the only exception of Accutane (which, however, has serious side effects that are not present with BION skin care products).

ACNE TREATMENT REGIMENS: BiON has treated hundreds of clinical test patients to determine the most effective product combinations and regimens for each condition and skin type. These suggested regimens have proven to be the most effective in treating and getting rid of acne.
