Laser Treatment For Acne Scars

Skin resurfacing has gained in popularity over the course of last several years, and has helped intervals seeking aesthetic enhancement in regards to the removal of the signs of aging like sun spots, or wrinkles or to assist in the removal of blackheads, acne scars, or other skin blemishes. Dermabrasion has always been an alternative to laser skin treatments, but the use of abrasive wire brushes or a rough wheel has received some less than favorable reviews and has proved to be more damaging to the skin than laser treatments.

The two most popular laser skin treatment devices are either the erbium YAG laser or the Carbon dioxide laser. The results of these two types of laser are very similar but most agree that the YAG laser seems to be less abrasive to the skin and tends to leave less long-term redness or swelling to the skin. The flip side to this is that the YAG is also considered to be less effective and more expensive treatments may be required to reach a desired result.

Everybody has unique and with some skin types, laser acne scar removal runs a small risk of loss of permanent pigmentation for darker skinned individuals, and the opposite reaction to those with lighter skin types.

Laser acne scar removal is gaining wide popularity, due to the fact that it's virtually painless, requires only a numbing cream as anesthesia, and requires zero down-time of time off work. Pricing varies form practice to practice so it's important that you do your due diligence and make sure you do your research before you make an educated decision.
