Yes there are acne treatments that really are effective in treating acne. One is an anti-acne diet and the other one which is the subject matter of this article is Spokane acupuncture treatment for acne. These are not instant cures and patience and dedication is required to make them wholly successful. The end result will be all worth the sacrifice, perseverance and patience you put into them.
Several studies done regarding acupuncture have attested to its efficacy as a natural path to relieving and/or curing acne. One specific study involving 120 young adult men more than 80% experienced a substantial improvement after only a week and almost all (90%) after two weeks of treatment. When the treatment ended, 90% were completely cured of their acne while 80% left the treatment scar-free. Most of these participants were revisited after 3 years and 90 percent never had any recurrence of their acne. The other 10% though had recurrence albeit mildly. It should be noted though that the patients underwent herbal face peeling at the start of treatment and after every 2 weeks.
Another acne related study of acupuncture this time done in China, 62 out of the 80 patients suffering from acne ended up with impressive clear skin from acupuncture therapy with 11 showing less impressive improvement while 7 had no change of their skin condition. Another study which was reviewed and published by the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine had 98 participants with 54 of them cured while 42 showed great improvements and 2 with no change in their condition.
We need to note that the studies were not done in a rigid scientific environment. However, as one can obviously glean from the studies, the results are very good in terms of the effects and the number of people cured or who showed marked improvement in their acne. Acupuncture does truly work albeit the mechanism of how it works is somewhat too complicated for the Western scientific establishment to understand. Acupuncture is as close to a panacea as any treatment can get. It can be used in the treatment of so many health problems including injuries and chronic fatigue syndrome to mention just a couple. The World Health Organization and the National Institutes for Health have officially endorsed acupuncture as an effective treatment for many health problems including teen and adult acne.
Even now, many physicians have become practicing acupuncturists and have treated many types of painful conditions successfully with this almost magical oriental procedure. Of course, not all problems of the body can be treated with acupuncture; however no other treatment can treat as many conditions as acupuncture can and definitely, teen and adult acne can be very ably cured or treated by this incredibly versatile therapy.
