Under Development: Electronic Acne Patch

Oplon-Pure Science Ltd., a company based in Israel, is currently performing clinical trials to study the effectiveness of an electronic acne patch. 

When applied to the affected skin, the patch releases a small electrical current that kills bacterial associated with the skin condition known as acne vulgaris.

Preliminary studies look promising. Apparently the acne spots improve immensely after three days of use.

The current acne research project uses two groups of acne sufferers. One group is given the patch and the second group receive a placebo patch.

At this point, we don't know whether the patch will show better results than the placebo or where there will be side effects.  We also don't know at this point whether or not the acne is likely to return. It seems to me that it will -- given that the bacterial will most certainly still be present.

In the meantime, why not try some natural acne cures?
