How does laser treatment work?

Laser is a concentrated beam of light energy which is focused on to the parts of human body. Laser is monochromatic with high intensity. It produces heat under the skin surface on the exposed area. Actually, laser treats acne in 2 different ways.

- It shrinks the oil producing sebaceous glands

- Destroys the acne producing bacteria

The high intensity light beam does the job here. The laser beam also serves additional benefits of curing and in getting rid of the deep and ugly scars left by acne. Pulsed dye lasers are preferred in treating and carbon di oxide laser is used in acne scars. The latest development in the laser treatment is the Fraxel laser and proves to be the most efficient. Topical anesthesia is applied over the body parts to minimize the discomfort. Multiple treatments at regular intervals is encouraged to have better and significant results The time period may vary from 3-4 weeks.

Scar Treatment

Laser is used to remove the scars from skin. This is a very powerful laser which when applied on the skin it will remove the top layers of skin near the scar. It will take some time for the skin growth. The newly formed skin will be healthy and scars are either gone or not visible. Acne which is present for years on a human body can be easily cured by the laser treatment.

Side effects:

There are very minimal side effects using this treatment. Redness will be created around the exposed part which will vanish after a few hours. It is accompanied by swelling which may take some time to heal. Skin needs to be protected from skin after the treatment.

Laser treatments are quite effective. They give the desired fruits of success earlier. But they prove to be expensive. Not all the patients can afford such a treatment. Patients must be aware of the approved laser treatments. Unapproved laser treatment may be harmful leading to many side effects. They have to be approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
