Laser Acne Treatment:

Laser acne treatment and acne scar laser treatment has been around for years now, and it is quickly replacing more traditional forms of acne removal and acne prevention. As antibiotics become increasingly ineffective due to overuse, more and more people are opting for this new technique. During laser resurfacing, a doctor holds a laser pen just above the acne or acne scar tissue and waves the concentrated beam of light back and forth, vaporizing only the unwanted tissue and creating a new surface for skin cell growth. Thus the term “laser resurfacing”. New collagen actually forms after laser treatment. (Collagen is a protein in the skin's connective tissue that helps give the skin its texture. Although laser resurfacing is safe and painless in almost all cases, some post-procedural bruising and swelling are normal. In most cases, these side effects persist for seven to ten days. Wait until this passes before applying make-up. Whether your doctor rents or owns his or her laser equipment. Ask to see before and after pictures of the doctor's cases, and find out how many different types of lasers the doctor owns and how often each piece of equipment is used.

Laser Acne Scar Treatment:

Acne scar treatment with a laser involves using the laser to remove the outer layer of skin so that new skin can form in it's place. Due to the ability to control the lasers depth into the skin, it has shown promising results, but large numbers of studies have not yet been done. Treatment time can vary between a few minutes for very small treatment areas to a few hours for larger area acne scar treatments. If you have darker skin coloring, it is important to note that laser resurfacing may cause uneven skin tones.

Side effects often include redness and swelling. Occasionally a dr. may place a bandage over the skin which will usually be changed regularly and left on for 1 week. The redness may last several weeks, and you skin may have a pinkish coloring for months afterwards.
