Laser is an acronym used for the amplification of light by stimulated emission of radiation. Laser treatment is a procedure used to treat skin problems with a powerful beam of light. Experienced cosmetologists and dermatologists use this new technology to cure many ailments. Side effects of laser treatment: Several side effects may be experienced with laser treatment of acne blemishes, such as irritation, redness, and swelling of the affected areas. These side effects only last a few hours or a day. In some cases, laser therapy that heals pimple scars may result in pigmentation changes. How to proceed? In this treatment, two types of laser beams are used. The first is an erbium YAG laser and the other is a carbon dioxide laser. The YAG laser was used previously and is now being replaced by the modern type carbon dioxide laser. The laser beam kills acne-causing bacteria and burns skin cells, resulting in scarring. With laser treatment, the functioning of the sebaceous glands producing sebum is delayed. Sebum is an oily substance that leads to the formation of acne. During laser therapy, dermatologists use cooling sprays to relieve the burning sensation caused by the powerful laser beam. Each treatment session lasts approximately 15 to 2 minutes. You may need 8 to 15 treatment sessions. The number of treatment sessions needed depends on the nature of the patient's skin and the severity of the acne scars. Fresh skin appears after the healed skin is burned. Benefits of Laser Treatment: This treatment is considered effective in removing acne scars. This avoids taking medications and applying ointments.
