Laser Acne Treatment
Kidsource has written laser acne treatment article, they write "Research has shown that combining the use of the pulsed dye technology with carbon dioxide laser vaporization was found to provide improvement in non-reddened, minimally thickened scars. Atrophic acne scars where there is a breakdown of the skin, have been found to respond most favorably to carbon dioxide laser resurfacing. The number of treatments necessary depends on the type of lesion and each individual's collagen and wound healing response. Usually two or more treatments are needed for hypertrophic (thick) acne scars.
We have had great success with these laser treatments, but it is often difficult to categorize scars where several clinical features overlap. A careful preoperative patient evaluation is very important in order to decide the most appropriate procedure to perform," Dr. Alster said."
Reflectionscenter has written laser acne treatment article, they write "In October 2002 the Smoothbeam laser became the first laser to receive F.D.A. clearance to treat acne. With a wavelength specifically designed to target the acne forming oil glands and a protective spray to accompany the pulse of the laser to protect the skin, the world finally has a major break though in its fight against this problematic condition. There now is an alternative for those dissatisfied with topical and oral medicines or the light systems. A patient usually sees results after the first treatment and the acne continues to improve over a series of three to four monthly treatments. Studies have shown that patients can achieve clearance of acne lesions in the 95% and over range."
Uky.edu has written laser acne treatment article, they write "The laser works by pulsating heat below the skin's surface and reducing the size of the sebaceous glands, which are largely responsible for acne. Patients use a cream to slightly numb the affected area, before the laser is applied. The treatment lasts just minutes and causes only slight discomfort. During the initial study, 17 patients with stubborn back acne were treated and followed for six months. The results were impressive-there was a 98 percent reduction in acne lesions."
Thewbalchannel has written laser acne treatment article, they write "A new laser treatment promises to target acne, using light to stimulate water in the upper layers of skin. The procedure is noninvasive, but it does have a side effect: it smoothes out wrinkles. The federal Food and Drug Administration recently approved the laser procedure, called Smooth Beam, to treat acne. Jenny Farrell, 35, from Woodbine, Md., has had trouble off and on with her skin since high school. Since then, she has tried several acne treatments, including cleansers, creams lotions Retin-A and antibiotics."I was prescribed tetracycline and the whole antibiotic thing, and that didn't seem to help," she said. "My husband was more concerned with the scarring. I was more concerned with the acne. You know it hurts, it's painful. They would come up in these huge spots you get on [my] face.""
