What Is Laser Treatment For Acne?

Laser treatment for acne is a procedure in which a small laser is placed directly on the skin, particularly in places on the face, chest, neck, or back that are prone to acne. Your dermatologist or laser surgeon will most likely prep the skin with a special topical gel or cream the procedure, so that your skin will not be damaged by the laser treatment.

The treatment itself effectively gets rid of acne scars as well as blemishes, particularly when you have been applying other skin care creams that have not been working. After your first treatment, you will need use a gentle cleanser for your face so that you will not dry out your skin out or create more breakouts.

Laser treatments for acne will usually be done in a series, so after about a week you will have to go back to the dermatologist for more treatments.
