• Accutane

Accutane requires a doctor's prescription and even though it's a highly effective treatment,  the FDA warns that Accutane may cause depression, liver damage and birth defects, along with a long list of other possible side effects.

While you use actutane you'll need periodic blood tests and will need to be under the supervision of a dermatologist.  

It can take up to six months to see results from Acutane. It is a systemic drug so it works from the inside out.

Light wave therapy uses a narrow-band, high intensity blue light to treat mild to moderate acne.  It's primarily recommended for people who have not responded to other acne treatments.

• Retinoid Treatments (vitamin A)

Topical retinoid (vitamin A) can be effective acne treatment but it can also be harsh and drying.
