Acne laser treatment: How it works

Virtually everyone has suffered fr0m acne at some point in their lives. Acne occurs when glands in the skin’s pores get congested by too much oil, dirt, and bacteria. Clogged pores become inflamed and infected, causing redness and swelling.

Acne not only yields unsightly scars and marks, it also negatively affects one’s self-image and self-confidence. Many types of treatments have been proposed to remedy varying degrees of acne. For severe cases, dermatologists suggest laser treatment as a possible option.

The use of laser for treatment was discovered by accident; originally used to minimize wrinkles and scars, dermatologists found out that it also clears the skin of acne. Today, laser is commonly implemented when traditional forms of acne treatment prove ineffective.

Acne laser treatment works by blanketing the skin with oxygen as light pulsates through the skin. Acne-causing bacteria is sensitive to oxygen, and are destroyed when it comes into contact with the elements. The treatment is effective enough to be a non-frequent procedure; one appointment is enough to control acne growth for a few months.

Laser treatment should only be chosen as a last resort, when other acne treatments have been tried to no avail. A consultation with a dermatologist is in order before proceeding with any form of acne treatment.  

Dr. Dan Taheri currently serves as the chief dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at the prestigious LA Laser and Skin Center. For more information on acne treatment and other dermatological issues, visit the company’s official website.
