Understanding About Laser Acne Treatment

Laser acne treatment has been available for several years now, and it is rapidly replacing traditional forms of acne treatments. As antibiotics become increasingly ineffective due to overuse, more and more people opt for this new technique. During laser resurfacing, a doctor holding a laser pen just above the acne or acne scar tissue and waves of concentrated light beam back and forth, just evaporate unwanted tissue and creating a new surface for skin cell growth. So the term "laser resurfacing." New collagen actually forms after laser treatment.

Although laser resurfacing is safe and painless in almost all cases, some post-procedural bruising and swelling is normal. In most cases, side effects persist for 7 to 10 days. Wait until this passes before using the make-up.
