Laser acne removal is one of the newer solutions for treating acne and the future of laser treatments looks very promising. There is a wide range of types of laser treatments.
Finding a solution for acne is difficult because treatment is very particular to the individual skin types as well as the various types of acne that can occur. But medical technology is advancing quickly and laser acne treatments are becoming more effective.
Types of Laser Treatments
In the past, CO2 lasers removed top layers of the skin which can take a long time to heal and leave the skin open putting it at risk for side effects such as discoloration and scarring. New laser treatments are considered non-ablative and do not remove the top layer of the skin so they are much less destructive and carry a lot less risk.
One treatment uses pulsed-dye lasers and the result is typically noticeable after about a month and is great for reducing the redness that makes acne scars so visible.
Treatment systems like Fraxel or Affirm using fractionated laser to treat acne and have shown to treatment scarring without any downtime required.
A Two Step Method
Celibre offers a specialized treatment that combines different types of laser and light therapy along with topical solutions for a complete assault against acne. The first step is to remove the acne by using intense laser energy to kill p.ances bacteria on the skin. This reduces the redness and basically removes the bacteria that cause acne in the first place.
The second step is a preventative measure which shrinks the sebaceous glands. These are the oil producing glands so the chances of additional outbreaks in the future are greatly limited and the pore size is also reduced using Photodynamic Therapy or PDT. After the treatment the patient is prescribed a skin care routine based on evaluation of the individual’s skin type and condition.
Laser Acne Removal Cost
The actual cost for any individual depends on what type of treatment they receive. Basic laser treatments can start at around $200 and range as high as $1,500. For some people who have been seeking a solution to their acne problem it is worth every penny regardless of what the financial costs are as long as the results are actually reliable. Acne treatment is still an area that cannot guarantee results because individual skin types can be so particular.
