The process of using a laser treatment is pretty straight forward. At the dermatologist office an expert technician will aim a powerful and accurate laser at specific oil producing glands to destroy any existing bacteria in the area. That’s it! (2)
There are several drawbacks to acne laser treatments that you should understand before undergoing the procedure. The treatment, although usually successful, commonly lasts only six months. It is not a cure for acne and treats the problem with an external process. Acne laser treatments don’t address the underlying problem of why the acne is happening. It does however, give the sufferer a six month hiatus from the condition when they may be willing to make changes to their lifestyle to assure the problem doesn’t reoccur.
Also, the sufferer may need more than one treatment to complete the process and since this procedure is not cheap and not covered by insurance, there may be other options that should be considered first.
Acne causes significant emotional and psychological stress in a person’s life. Often consumers are willing to buy the next greatest product to get rid of a condition that requires long-term management. Before making decisions about a treatment plan be sure to have all the information you need to make an informed choice based on your own individual needs and specific skin type.
