What is Laser Acne Treatment?
Acne is not a new skin condition, but using lasers to treat it is a modern and extremely effective solution. For any acne treatment to work, it must target the cause of your spots. This skin condition is a result of excess oil production in the skin and inflammation. Laser treatment holds many advantages over other acne treatments because it is a non-invasive, quick and relatively pain-free procedure that can take away the daily hassle of medications. Plus, it often works when traditional acne treatments have failed to produce results, because it targets the source of the problem.
How does Laser Acne Treatment work?
Blue Light Levulan acne treatment involves three mechanisms of action against acne. Levulan treatment deactivates the bacteria that triggers acne, removes the top most layer of skin to unclog pores, and the most exciting mechanism is that Levulan treatment shuts down the sebaceous glands in the skin. This is exciting because sebaceous glands are the root cause in the formation of acne so it has a long lasting effect even on severe acne! Resistant and Cystic Acne frequently fails to respond to traditional over-the-counter measures of control. It works even better than oral antibiotics and topical lotions. A safe topical two-step treatment which chemically coats and then destroys acne bacteria offers a new solution to an old problem.
Are there any side effects associated with Laser Acne Treatment?
While side effects are uncommon, you may get redness of skin which will last at most a week during which time you should do no exercise for recovery purposes. You may also encounter skin discoloration which can make your skin either lighter or darker. Depending on the person you may encounter a slightly more severe pain which will fade over a short period of time.
