Acne Laser Treatment

A growing number of people are turning to acne laser treatment to rid themselves of unsightly acne for good. Acne is typically caused by the overproduction of sebum (oil) within the skin. Acne laser treatment works to target the specific trigger of your acne. Using the Cosmetic Matching Service allows you to input minimal information about your acne problem into a matching system that returns relevant results about clinics in your area that offer acne laser treatment.

How Acne Laser Treatment Works

There are several types of acne lasers, and each type is design to attack a specific acne trigger. Acne laser treatment is virtually pain-free, partly due to the fact that a special numbing anesthetic gel is applied to your skin prior to the procedure. During the procedure, the acne laser is targeted at your acne, and can be used virtually anywhere that you experience a breakout, including the face, back, and chest. The laser used for acne treatment will operate on a particular wavelength. The high intensity laser penetrates the surface of the skin to reduce or eliminate acne with a focus on the oil glands. Excessive oil can clog your pores and cause you to break out.

During acne laser treatment, intense heat is directed at the sebaceous glands that cause acne, slowing the production of oil. Other types of acne laser treatment may target the bacterium that causes certain types of acne, deactivating it and improving the appearance of the skin.

Another type of acne laser treatment that is used is the erbium or ER laser. Typically used as an anti-aging treatment, some clinicians use it to target acne. Smooth beam diode lasers and carbon dioxide lasers are also used sometimes as part of an acne treatment regimen.

Why Choose Acne Laser Treatment?

While the biggest benefit of acne laser treatment is that it can effectively clear up your acne, there are other reasons that you should think about this type of treatment, including:

• Acne laser treatments are sometimes used as a last resort. When all else fails, laser treatment is often the only type of treatment that actually works. Why go through the other types of treatment at all? Start with a treatment that is proven to work in most instances. (Taking care of the problem before it worsens also reduces the number and incidence of acne scars).
• Acne laser treatment is hassle-free. There are no messy creams, lotions, or serums to bother with and no medicine (or its side effects) to deal with. In fact, acne laser treatment is so handy and fast that many people schedule an appointment during their lunch hour!
• Acne laser treatment is an affordable solution. Compared to spending money for years and years combating acne, you can "nip the problem in the bud" in far less time - actually saving money in the process!
