Many people face acne problems on a daily basis, which tends to affect their confidence. Acne blemishes can occur on any part of the body, though they are mostly seen in areas where hair growth is dense.
What causes acne?
Acne occurs due to the blockage of skin pores which leads to excess oil being secreted on the outer area of the skin, causing blemishes. The excess oil present on the skin comes in contact with the offending skin bacteria forming blemishes and pimples. During adolescent years, activity of sebaceous glands increases which in turn results in more oil production. The bacterium, called P. acnes uses the sebum as a growth nutrient. This is the reason why acne is more prominent in teenagers.
Why go for laser acne treatment?
Laser acne treatment is beneficial for everyone who wishes to effectively get rid of acne. It helps to eliminate acne scars and the blemishes, giving your skin a fresh and a clean look. You need not only opt for the treatment when your condition is severe. Your face is the first thing people notice in you. Any ugly marks or spots can be embarrassing, lowering your self confidence. This makes it necessary for everyone to take special care of their skin.
The procedure
Laser is an abbreviation for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The treatment involves the use of high intensity laser beams that treat the acne from their roots and clean the clogged pores. Laser beams can effectively treat the bacteria as well as the oil producing sebaceous glands. The effectiveness of the treatment depends to some extent on the expertise of the dermatologist.
Treatment for scars
Laser acne treatment can also effectively heal scars. Scars result from the natural process of acne healing. It is very difficult to heal scars with conventional treatments.
