Acne is one of the frustrating things that can make you want to hide out at home beneath the covers no matter how well you take care of your skin. Who wouldn’t feel self-conscious if they have acne? Acne is awful on a physical and mental level, regardless of whether you’re in middle school, middle age, or in a difficult period in your life.
We’re fortunate to live in an age where effective acne treatments like laser therapy are widely accessible. Acne can be eliminated, and the skin’s tone and texture enhanced, with laser treatments. However, until recently, acne was difficult to treat without using strong cleansers and lotions that irritated the face and caused oil production to spike, leading to even more acne. The only other options, especially for severe, difficult-to-treat cystic acne, were topical and oral antibiotics and other medications with dangerous side effects like Accutane (which can also leave scars).
Acne can be treated with lasers of today because the combination of heat, light, and energy focused on the affected areas helps to stimulate collagen production and speed up the shedding of dead skin. In addition to reducing bacteria, redness, and inflammation, certain laser acne treatments use bacteria-killing technology. In addition to clearing up acne, acne scars can be diminished using laser therapy.
