Lasers are very effective on acne and acne scars

Posted on 06 Mar, 2010

Acne is a skin condition caused by bacteria which makes the skin pores inflame leading to redness and itchiness on the skin. There are several creams and lotions which guarantee to remove acne permanently from the skin but they do not perform like lasers.

Laser acne removal treatment is gaining popularity these days as it is faster than other methods and it is painless.

How lasers work on acne and scars

In this treatment, the lasers target the bacteria causing the acne as well as inhibiting the production of excess sebum by targeting the glands that produce it.

Other than the acne itself, lasers also help in treating acne scars. In this process, the lasers break down the scar tissue encouraging new skin growth in its place. The new skin will be smoother and tighter.

To remove acne and acne scars, you need to undergo a full course of treatment. The full removal process may require several sessions. This completely depends on the size and type of acne present on the skin. Once the acne is treated then you may experience some redness and swelling which will not be for more than couple of days.

If you want to remove acne from your skin then consult a dermatologist as soon as possible.
