Laser Acne Treatment Explained

It is common initially for the treatment of acne to use a course of antibiotics and to effectively keep the skin clean. As continual research is done in today's modern world, and as technology more advanced, a new method has emerged for preventing and curing acne, this latest method is the laser acne treatment.

Laser Acne Treatment - The Process

The main benefits of the laser acne treatment is that it is painless. It is also fast and very effective and millions of people have already taken it up with successful results. The laser acne treatment usually means removing the top most tissue of the face and with it all the problems that it has. The new layer would be of collagen, which would give an excellent finish to the face, which will be exceptionally rewarding. This process is also called ‘laser resurfacing’

Side Effects Of Laser Acne Treatment

There are very few side effects to this method of acne treatment, the worst is that your face would be an unusually red for about 7-10 days, after which the skin will come back to its colour and the acne would all be gone. The side effects for this type of treatment will be explained by the doctor who performs the procedure keeping in mind the health and condition of the skin of the person and the efficiency of the machine as per the manufacturer instructions.
It would be advisable if you enquire in great detail of how experienced the doctor is who will be performing the procedure. You may also ask for some references and previous experience with these procedures and or patient testimonials that have been done in the past before you decide that you he/she is a good doctor. Ensure that the procedure is done by an experienced dermatologist in collaboration with a good anesthetist.

The laser technique is no longer unique. There are a variety of other laser acne treatments for removal of acne scars, you could choose the one which best suits you.This procedure is often a concern to doctors for people who are dark skinned because the scarring is more visible and it might take longer to blend in. This is particularly valid in terms of ablative lasers, which removes the said layer by literally scraping it off. Laser acne treatment are not cheap and may cost anything between $500-2500, and it really depends on how much skin is treated. Therefore if you choose this treatment for your acne problem, it is worth taking note about the costs involved. For those with limited budgets, a home use machine may produce similar results.

  2. Laser technology is nice, but side effects are with it. This would be effective in clearing acne but maybe costly but better than those products which assures miracles but needs to be maintained and will effect on a long period of time.
