Laser treatment- an effective way to tackle acne

Posted on 29 Apr, 2010

Acne is a condition that affects the skin, and occurs when the sebaceous glands become enlarged and affected by bacteria. Acne can appear on almost any part of the body.

If left untreated, acne can leave scarring, so you need to get the right kind of treatment. One of the most effective ways is laser acne treatment.

In laser acne treatment, a high intensity laser targets the skin and helps to eradicate the bacteria which causes the infection. It causes the skin to heat up and produces a collagen which helps in the healing process.

After the treatment, you may also find that your skin is less oily, as it shrinks the sebaceous glands. The laser penetrates deeply, thus enhancing the texture of the skin along with its appearance.

Before the treatment, a gel is usually applied to the surface of the skin to be treated, in order to minimise any pain. You may notice a little redness on your skin but there is nothing to worry about and this usually subsides very quickly.

If other methods of treating acne have failed for you, laser acne treatment is a wise choice.
