BENEFITS OF ISOTROIN CAPSULE
In Treatment of Acne
Isotretinoin Capsules and Acne Scarring
Isotretinoin capsules can help prevent severe acne from progressing to the point of scarring. Still, they may not eliminate existing acne scars. Individuals with significant scarring may require additional treatments, such as laser therapy or chemical peels, to improve their skin’s appearance.
Mechanism of Action Isotretinoin
The mechanism of action of isotretinoin primarily involves reducing sebum production and keratinization in the skin. By targeting these processes, it helps prevent the formation of new acne lesions, reduces inflammation, and encourages the shedding of existing acne comedones. Isotretinoin also has anti-inflammatory properties, which contribute to its effectiveness in treating severe acne.
