Is Acne Laser Surgery the Answer?
David Bloom has written Is Acne Laser Surgery the Answer? article and writes "People who want to avoid the risks involved with prolonged use of antibiotics may consider acne laser surgery to clear up their skin. Laser surgery acne removal is a fairly new method of treatment that may seem less invasive than most of the other options available. However, it should not be your first attempt at getting clear skin. There are other ways to improve the appearance of your skin, many of which are not as expensive or potentially problematic as a surgical procedure.
When your pores become clogged, the oils that are normally excreted to the skin's surface are trapped. As these oils mix with bacteria that is also under the skin, an infection is created. This can happen to anyone at any age after puberty is reached and can be an embarrassing problem that does not go away easily. For some, it may require the use of a treatment beyond conventional creams, ointments and supplements to get rid of the blemished skin..
Acne laser surgery works by the use of a yellow light to destroy the bacteria that produces acne. It has also been shown to increase natural collagen production which prevents scars from forming after the acne has cleared. Although acne surgery may seem like a good option, it has its side effects just like many of the other treatment options.
For some people, it is quite effective in clearing up skin. Other people have little or no results from laser acne surgery and may be left with uneven skin pigmentation. Laser acne treatment is also still in its infancy and long-term effects have not yet been determined. Many will experience discomfort and painful swelling that requires additional treatment during the healing process. Acne laser surgery will usually need to be performed on more than one occasion and multiple office visits and procedures can get quite expensive, and might not be covered by insurance.
Natural acne skincare is an effective way to avoid the uncertainty and side effects of laser surgery acne treatment. Antioxidants are one of the best ways to protect yourself from the damage caused by free radicals, harmful byproducts of chemical reactions within the body. These can be found in both vitamins C and E, which work great together. Aloe vera and similar herbal extracts are another effective natural acne treatment. They can decrease inflammation, boost your immune system, and heal infections, while acting to prevent future breakouts. There are a number of natural remedies containing these ingredients that may offer an effective alternative to laser treatment.
Acne laser surgery should not be a procedure that you choose before a lot of careful consideration. The long-term effects are still relatively unknown, and the costs can really add up. It may be worth looking into natural treatments first, as they may just be the solution to your problem.
If you have persistent blemished skin, talk to your dermatologist about acne surgery and see what he or she recommends to clear up your skin.
