in this country, but also in all parts of the globe. Everyone
wants to get rid of it! In fact, there is a wide variety of
things that can actually help you cure it. You can make a
paste or mask from different kinds of plants and herbs or

acne problems. So, when these products and procedures are

a doctor for advise.
There are really extreme cases when acne can't be treated
just by self medication. Your doctors can offer you a more
potent drug, or he/she can suggest another good option - acne
laser treatment. In our present day, technology is changing
our world faster than we think! Through the advance of science,

operations. Medical specialists say that undergoing acne LASER
treatment is one of the most advance and, probably, the most
effective treatment you can have to totally get rid of acne
today. This amazing procedure will surely give hope to people
who are greatly suffering with their acne. We have already
used LASER treatment on acne scarring successfully for years,
but it is truly a breakthrough to be used in treating existing
acne. The question now is how can acne LASER treatment actually
cure acne? Is it safe and effective?
How can that be?
Acne LASER Treatment is done by applying extreme thermal
or heat effect on the sebaceous glands in order to damage
it. Studies prove that the laser equipment used in the operation
can actually do four treatments in one-month intervals. Statistics
shows that 16 out of 17 patients got a 100% success on clearing
the face. Test through skin biopsy immediately afterwards
the operations revealed that the sebaceous glands showed alterations
caused by the induced heat, decreasing the production of oil.
Immediate proofs that acne LASER treatment is taking a postive
effect!
Two Types of LASER
In performing acne LASER treatments, doctors are actually
using two types of LASERs. One type deal with the inhibition
of the bacterial growth that causes skin problems, while the
other is made to work with the sebaceous glands in order to
reduce the production of oil in particular parts of the body
especially the face.
Still Under investigation
Even if it already proved to be a success on totally eradicating
your acne, doctors admitted that acne LASER Treatment is still
under research to further study its short and long-time effects.
Thus, it is still not available yet for widely use to everyone.
The patients should also know that insurance is not covered
in the acne LASER treatment and that not all states can distinguish
who are and who are not allowed to perform operations using
LASER. Medical specialists also warn that procedures that
require the use of LASER should be done by qualified physicians
only. It is also suggested that you should ask for the qualification
of the one that will do the operation before undergoing acne
LASER treatment.
How many? for how long?
Your doctor might suggest that you undergo acne LASER Treatment
for about 5 months, one treatment every month, in order to
get satisfying results. However, if acne reappears, additional
acne LASER treatment done periodically will be required.
How does it feel?
You might wonder how it feels undergoing the procedure. Well,
most patients say that acne LASER treatment will give you
a rubberband-like sensation during the operation. If ever
you find this uncomfortable, you are given the choice to have
topical anesthetic cream applied directly on your skin.
