Depends on the practice. Some may cover your insurance, and some may not. Beforehand, look in the phone book and call the business you’re interested in going to for the surgery, and see if they’ll cover you. If not, a good bottle of acne treatment cream works just as well as the scrubs and pills [and you can buy it at walmart for about 2 bucks] . Keep your hands away from your face, don’t eat any greasy/fatty foods, and take a shower daily.
Because of your age, I would not consider surgery at this time. And sometimes using so many products just makes it worse, especially the scrubs which aggravate the skin and increase oil production.
Here are some ideas my three teenagers did:
Wash with cool water- warm/hot water increases oil production
A clean fresh pillow case every night
Use fresh towels/wash cloths- keep bacteria off your face
They all used the Proactive skin care system. It works if you use it regularly and have a healthy diet
I would strongly recommend you so stay away from this. Fist off, it doesn’t cure acne, it diminishes scaring, in order for them to even Begin to start, they need to stop your current acne. I dropped 5 grand on 6 laser sessions (which was pretty much the standard) I was not at all satisfied with the after affects, it left me with milia all over my face. It is was to expensive and not worth it at all i think. You should see a dermatologist and get on anti-biotics. Don’t over wash your face because that can irritate it and cause more brake outs. Stick with one product and give it time to work. I would say pro-active, just don’t stop using it and give it time. oh and insurance will NOT cover it! Sorry!
