Using Lasers to Treat Acne
One of the newest trends in fighting acne is laser acne removal. The procedure has several upsides, however for most it is prohibitively expensive. The most common type of laser treatment for acne is using an ablative laser, one that burns the top layer of your skin, to smooth your skin and get rid of existing acne scars. However, there now is such a thing as a non-ablative laser. This laser uses a different technique to heat up just the middle layer of your skin to stimulate healing. This reduces the recovery time from a few days to a few hours and also allow you to treat existing blemishes with the laser so that they do not turn into scars. The major downside to non-ablative lasers is that they are not as effective at treating existing acne scars as ablative ones are.
