Clearing the Path: How Acne Laser Treatment Can Transform Your Skin
Millions of people all over the world suffer with acne. Acne occurs when pores get blocked due to an accumulation of oil and dead skin cells. Scarring can occur at any stage of acne's severity, from mild to severe. Acne can be treated in a number of ways, but laser therapy is among the most efficient.
Acne treatment with the use of lasers is our forte here at LLC Cosmetic Laser Clinics. To combat both current acne and acne scars, we employ a range of laser treatments in conjunction with preventative prescription drugs. We want our patients to leave here with radiant skin and a newfound sense of self-assurance.
Prescribed preventive drugs, such as antibiotics or topical steroids, are often the first line of defence in the treatment of active acne. Acne treatment can help reduce inflammation and clear up the skin. However, they may not always be sufficient to accomplish the set goals. Here's when laser therapy comes in handy.
How Can Lasers Help With Acne?
Acne that has not yet cleared up can be treated with a mix of ablative and non-ablative lasers and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) at LLC Cosmetic Laser Clinics. Acne-causing bacteria are the primary focus of IPL, which also has the added benefit of decreasing inflammation and redness.
However, ablative lasers can help unclog pores and diminish the look of acne scars by eliminating the outermost layer of skin. Improve skin texture and fade acne scars with a non-ablative laser, which is less intrusive than ablative lasers and works by encouraging collagen creation in the skin.
We will tailor our recommendation for laser therapy of active acne to the severity of the condition and the specific requirements of each patient. Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, and fractional CO2 lasers are just a few of the laser options we provide. Each of these lasers offers its own special advantages and can be adjusted to fit the specific requirements of each individual patient.
Fractional CO2 Lasers
Fractional CO2 lasers are the standard treatment for acne scars. Small columns of heat generated by fractional CO2 lasers penetrate the skin, where they stimulate collagen formation and enhance skin texture. Acne scars, as well as scars from other causes including surgery or injury, may benefit from this.
Acne scar treatment using fractional CO2 lasers will vary according to the severity of the scarring. Acne scars can be divided into two categories: atrophic and hypertrophic. The most common kind of acne scar is called an atrophic scar, and it looks like a depression or pit on the skin. On the other hand, hypertrophic scars are elevated scars caused by an excess of collagen production during the healing process.
The deep penetrating fractional CO2 laser is primarily used for atrophic scars. This enables us to reach the scar tissue beneath the skin's surface. To encourage collagen synthesis and lessen the prominence of a hypertrophic scar, we employ a fractional CO2 laser with a shallower penetration depth.
Although laser therapy for acne and acne scars has shown promising results in some cases, it is not a panacea. Several factors, such as the severity of the acne, the type of scarring, and the patient's particular needs and preferences, determine which laser treatment is most effective for their skin.
