Acne poses a problem to almost everyone in todays society. Normally the appearance of acne begins, in both genders, during puberty and usually continues into adulthood. Acne can do quite a bit of harm both mentally and physically for a person to the extent of stimulating skin scarring, depression and lowering their self-esteem. Traditionally oral or topical treatments were given for treatingof acne, but currentlythere is a newer and faster approach for the removal of acne scars known as the acne scar laser treatment.

The acne scar laser treatment acts by stimulating collagen production, which is the central protein of connective tissue in animals, in the skin and in turn reducing the scars. The required wavelength and the degree of strength of the laser should be determined according to the existing scar tissue . During the treatment procedure, it is normally a physican who will decide on the type of laser that is to be used on your skin. acne scar laser treatment functions in various methods like, without removing tissue (non ablative), removing external layers of skin (ablative) and microscopically removing tissue (micro-ablative).

The way the ablative laser procedure works is in order to eradicate the undesired scar tissue, it uses a laser to vaporize the outer layers of the skin. As a result of this procedure, the collagen will be firmed up stimulating mild scar visibility. The remaining scars can always be covered up by the use of natural cosmetics and makeup. For this acne scar laser treatment, unique kind of lasers, known as erbium and ultra pulsed carbon dioxide lasers are utilised. However, as this kind of treatment leaves the unshielded skin exposed, necessary skin wound care should be used on the skin. In addition, checking up on the condition of the skin regularly for signs of infection will help it recover faster. The skin may tend to cause redness for up to one year after this kind of acne scar laser treatment, although redness might disappear after a few months from surgery.

The non ablative laser functions by making adjustments to the dermis of the skin. This method of acne scar laser treatments does not cause any damage to the epidermis during the treatment procedure. A laser which is known as smooth beam focuses on the sebaceous gland heating it up and thus, helping to lower the amount of sebum and acne that would appear consequently. In addition, this acne scar laser treatment firms up the dermis and reduces scar visibility by warming up the collagen using the laser. This method of treatment will require an anesthetic to be administered by a medical professional before the treatment procedure.

These currently practiced acne scar laser treatment proceduresseem to have inspired the treatment of acne and, thus has offered a sense of relief for those who suffer from acne.
