What is acne?

Acne is skin condition affecting almost everyone as one time or another. It is characterized by clogged pores in the form of blackheads and whiteheads, inflamed pimples, known as pustules, and deeper lumps or nodules. Acne can be found anywhere on the body but is most common on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and upper arms. Although it is commonly found among teenagers, acne is not characterized by a specific age group, its’ painful and embarrassing effects are a concern for many adults throughout their lives.

This skin condition can have a cosmetic and emotional impact on the lives of those who suffer with it. In some cases untreated acne has left patients with permanent scars that must be treated. To avoid the embarrassment, the pain, and the risk of scarring it is important to treat acne right away.

How can lasers be used to treat acne?

Lasers can be used in the fight against acne because they can kill the bacteria causing the acne and decrease the production of sebum (which is produced by the sebaceous gland as a way of excreting oil) without causing damage to the healthy skin around it.

By using lasers to treat acne you are fighting against all the sources of acne while preserving your healthy skin and creating a clearer, smoother, complexion. In a few short sessions your moderate to severe acne can be a thing of the past.

What is a laser acne treatment like?

When you arrive for your appointment your doctor may apply a topical anesthetic to help numb your skin. Many patients do not require this but those who are sensitive to pain, or those with an active breakout, may want to use it so the treatment will not be too painful. As your doctor uses the laser hand-piece to direct the beam of light to the affected areas you may notice a snapping sensation against your skin. Many people describe this as being similar to a rubber band snapping.

The entire process is fast and easy, only taking approximately 10 minutes to be completed. Your doctor will recommend that you apply sunscreen following your treatment because your skin will now be much more sensitive to sunlight. It is important to treat your skin gently and follow any directions given by the doctor.

How many treatments will I need and how long will my results last?

Most patients require two to three treatments spaced three weeks apart to see marked improvement (80% or better). Depending on how severe the condition results will vary.

For most patients the results will last for a few months. Your doctor may recommend a specific treatment schedule that will best fit your individual needs, while maintaining your fantastic results.

Who is a candidate for Laser Acne treatment?

Anyone who suffers with moderate to severe acne is a candidate for laser treatment. It can be used on men and women of all skin types and colors. Women who are pregnant and patients with photo sensitivities should discuss this with your doctor before receiving a laser acne treatment.

For more information on Laser Acne treatment and to decide if this is the best treatment option for you, set up an appointment for a consultation.

Are there any side effects associated with Laser Acne treatments?

There are no known side effects associated with this treatment option. This is a fast and relatively painless process that does not require downtime or anesthesia. However, some patients do experience a mild burning sensation at specific laser treatment sites. Generally this sensation lasts only a few seconds.
