There is not one person who hasn't suffered from the problem of acne in their life. Usually the appearance of acne begins, in both genders, during puberty and normally continues into adulthood. Acne can do quite a bit of harm both mentally and physically for a person to the extent of stimulating skin scarring, depression and lowering their self-esteem. Traditionally oral or topical treatments were prescribed for dealingof acne, but currently the best acne scar treatment involves the use of laser. Acne laser treatment is a newer and faster approach for the removal of acne scars known as the acne scar laser treatment.
The acne scar laser treatment acts by stimulating collagen production, which is the central protein of connective tissue in animals, in the skin and in turn reducing the scars. The required wavelength and the degree of strength of the laser should be decided according to the existing scar tissue . Usually a physician decides the type of laser to be used during the treatment procedure. Acne scar laser treatment works in various methods like, without removing tissue (non ablative), removing external layers of skin (ablative) and microscopically removing tissue (micro-ablative).
The ablative laser method uses a laser to vaporize the external layers of the skin and thus, eliminating the undesired scar tissue. As a result of this procedure, the collagen will be firmed up stimulating mild scar visibility. Natural cosmetics can be used to cover up any remaining scars. For this acne scar laser treatment, specific type of lasers, known as erbium and ultra pulsed carbon dioxide lasers are utilised. This type of treatment will leave the unshileded skin exposed so it is vital that the patient take necessarily measures to care for the wound on the skin. In addition, checking up on the condition of the skin regularly for signs of infection will help it recover faster. The skin may tend to have redness for up to one year after the acne scar laser treatment, although redness might disappear a few months after the surgery.
The non ablative laser works by stimulating adjustments to the dermis of the skin. This method of acne scar laser treatment does not cause any damage to the epidermis during the treatment procedure. The smooth beam laser heats up the sebaceous gland by focusing on it, thus helping lower the amount of sebum and acne that constantly appears. In addition, this acne scar laser treatment firms up the dermis and thins scar visibility by heating up the collagen using the laser. Typically an anesthetic would be administered by the physician before this method of treatment.
These currently practiced acne scar laser treatment proceduresseem to have revolutionized the treatment of bad acne and, hence, providing a sense of relief to those who are suffering from acne.
