in Physical and Emotional
ScarsIntroduction
There is a four letter word in the English language that makes teenagers
and adults alike react with an equal amount of dismay and disgust - acne.
Teenagers are well aware of the disastrous affects that acne has on their
skin as well as the impact it has on their social life and self-esteem. Few
adults were fortunate enough to escape the ravages of acne, and many still
hold the physical and emotional scars it took on them as young adults. But
as spiteful as acne is, there is currently no cure or standard remedy for
its treatment.
Scientifically speaking, we are discussing acne vulgaris - a condition created
by dead skin cells, bacteria and excess oil production that create a plug that blocks
a pore, causing the pore to distend and create a lesion. To avoid this problem,
teens might be cautioned not to eat chocolate or fatty foods, wash the skin
gently several times a day, not to touch their face with their hands, drink
more water and get more rest. But even those who follow this regimen find
only mild relief from the pustules and lesions of acne.
Until recently, little study had been done on the long-term psychological
aspects of acne. For teenagers, appearance is critical to their developing
self-esteem and fitting in with their peer group. Those who are affected
the most find they are the butt of jokes and continual criticism. This can
lead to a teenager avoiding social events or activities because of the shame
felt by the condition of his or her skin, even though many others share the
problem to a lesser degree. There has even been an increased documentation
in teen suicides related to feelings of worthlessness and ostracization because
of acne. To a certain extent, the severity of acne vulgaris can be the same
in boys and girls, but girls have a slightly easier time with acne than boys
do, primarily because they use makeup to conceal lesions.
Today, the percentage of adult women with acne problems is increasing. Many
of these women may not have had acne as teenagers, and are surprised they
have to deal with this problem as adults. Acne can have profound psychological
and social effects on adults, just as it does in teenagers. The cause of
these adult outbreaks may be attributed to some medications including birth
control pills, hormonal changes, physical activities with perspiration, and
greater levels of stress from juggling the responsibilities of career and
family. When the body reacts to stress, many complex interactions of the
adrenal glands and hormones put an increased demand on vital functions, rendering
the body more prone to acne.
What can be done to treat acne?
Unfortunately, current medical treatments don't always produce dramatic or
lasting results. The least harmful to the patient include topical treatments,
psychological counseling and acne surgery performed by a physician, but scarring
from acne lesions can require dermabrasion or collagen injections by a
dermatologist to smooth the skin. In mild acne cases, a physician can prescribe antibiotics, but frequent use of antibiotics can lead to immunity to antibiotics, which can result in very serious health problems. Antibiotics can also kill the "good" bacteria in your body that is need to remain healthy. In severe acne cases, a physician can prescribe the drug Accutane, but it's extremely expensive and the side effects are very serious and can be hazardous to your health. In most cases, Accutane treatment is administered for five months, with no guarantee of continued remission after treatment ends.
Since the first skin outbreaks appear during puberty, new research suggests
that a hormonal imbalance associated with the developing sex glands could
be the problem. Coenzyme-A Technologies Inc., has applied its Clear Skin
Image Nutrient
FormulaTM to
the creation of a unique and innovative skin care product. This nutraceutical
formula contains a balanced combination of active nutritional components
and was created specifically to address imbalances within the body in order
to naturally support healthy skin.
The long-term benefits of a clear skin can help a teenager adjust to his
or her growing body without fear of rejection or judgment about appearance
and Adults can feel they are finally free of a condition that has caused
them years of emotional and physical discomfort.
Who is Coenzyme-A Technologies Inc.?
Coenzyme-A Technologies Inc. is the world's first developer of effective Coenzyme-A and Acetyl Coenzyme-A products. Coenzyme-A Technologies has applied new technology to the formulation and manufacture of a series of proprietary products which address nutritional deficiencies that result from the stress of modern day living, chemical imbalances within the body, and the effects of aging.
Clear Skin
ImageTM is the first scientifically formulated nutraceutical product that treats acne internally at the source of the problem,
unlike topical treatments, which only address the symptoms of acne.
Clear Skin ImageTM reduces
the overproduction of sebaceous oil in the oil glands, which is the primary cause
of acne. It achieves this by targeting chemical and hormonal imbalances within the body, the
deficiency of fatty acid metabolism and the synthesis of adrenal and sex
hormone production. Clear Skin ImageTM also helps strengthen the immune system to reduce the damaging effects of stress
and diseases.
Clear Skin
ImageTM reduces
or eliminates the worst problem acne and unlike Accutane, Clear Skin
ImageTM has been
clinically proven to be safe and effective.
The active components of Clear Skin
ImageTM are:
Clear Skin
Image Nutrient
FormulaTM (this is a proprietary matrix)
Pantothenic Acid (d-Calcium Pantothenate)
Biotin
Niacin
The benefits of Clear Skin
ImageTM include:
• Deactivation of sebaceous glands through better fat metabolism.
• Reduced oil production in the oil glands.
• The rate of eruption (or breaking out) of new acne lesions slows,
and then stops. Existing lesions will dry up and shrink until they
disappear.
• Reduction in size of skin pores within the first two weeks of
treatment, resulting in a much finer surface. Skin becomes more healthy,
vibrant and beautiful.
