Laser Acne Treatment and How It Can Benefit You

Laser acne treatment can eliminate or at least reduce the severity of inflammatory acne lesions and acne-related scars and hyperpigmentation. To further achieve the desired results, you may need to use other treatments in conjunction with this treatment. The experts at The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center can help determine the best course of action for your case.

Laser Treatment for Inflammatory Acne

Acne generally results when bacteria accumulate on the skin, which in turn creates a substance called porphyrin that is responsible for the growth of pimples and breakouts.  The lights of a laser work by destroying the bacteria, leading to the appearance of smoother skin.

Meanwhile, one study has suggested that laser acne treatment is more effective when combined with salicylic acid compared to using the latter alone.  Other studies involving other ancillary treatments also showed the same findings.

Laser Treatment for Acne Scars

Basically, there are two types of acne-induced scars: hypertrophic, which appear like bumps on the skin surface, and atrophic, which are depressions that are also referred to as ice pick and box scars. Laser treatment is effective in improving the appearance of certain types of acne scars.

 

The Benefits of Modern Laser Acne Treatment

In the past, laser treatments negatively affected the outermost layers of the skin, resulting in longer downtime.  But new technologies now allow dermatologists to treat specific skin layers or substances (such as hemoglobin found in the blood) without injuring the neighboring skin cells.

The Number of Treatments

The ideal number of treatments will depend on the extent of your acne lesions, scars, and hyperpigmentation.  Take note that most people will need a series of treatments, while others may even require up to 10 sessions, each one typically spaced one month apart. Studies have suggested that multiple treatments deliver better results than a single session.
