Laser Acne Treatment

Laser Acne Treatment

Acne is a skin condition that occurs as a result of the sebaceous glands secreting excessive skin oil (sebum), clogging the pores on the skin and then bacteria and inflammation. Acne is more common in people who are usually in adolescence. Apart from this, acne problems can continue in people outside of adolescence, or people who do not have acne problems during adolescence may encounter this skin problem in later ages.

While acne can cause permanent scars on the skin, it can also lead to a deterioration in the aesthetic perception of the person. For this reason, many formulas related to acne are applied today. Laser acne treatment is one of them. One of the primary goals of laser treatment is to provide healing without damaging the patient's skin.

Another advantage of laser treatment is to prevent scarring after acne. Many serums, drugs, etc. used today. Although acne treatment is partially solved as a result of using the products, the problem of scars is encountered by the patient and the patient also deals with the scars. Laser treatment reduces the bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes in the applied skin and prevents the formation of inflammatory acne.

By concentrating the laser beam and damaging the bacterial wall, it provides a very effective solution without side effects. Another element that is also aimed in laser acne treatment is to prevent the blockage in the pores by reducing the oil levels in the skin called sebum. Although laser treatment application depends on the severity of the acne problem on the skin, each session takes an average of 30 minutes. The number of sessions also varies according to the patient's complaint and the severity of the discomfort experienced.

However, it is recommended to apply at least 5 to 6 sessions for an effective result. Session intervals vary between 1-3 weeks. All these numbers are adjusted by your doctor according to your skin type and discomfort after your treatment decision. Laser application has no known permanent side effects. In addition, after the laser application, redness may occur on the skin for an average of 4 days and gradually decreases. During the healing of these rashes, crusting occurs. This treatment, which offers a permanent solution to the acne problem, and temporary redness should not be considered when considering the size of the acne problem.

So; The gains of laser acne treatment are greater than the costs they have to bear. Laser acne treatment can be applied to the face, forehead, back and shoulder areas. Applications can be made to areas other than this, if the doctor deems it appropriate. Permanent results from laser treatment are achieved as a result of the patient taking the necessary care. After laser treatment, the laser treated area should be kept clean. In addition, the person should pay attention to routine skin care and make-up residues should not be kept on the face. A regular diet should be applied, and the consumption of products containing excessive fat and carbohydrates should be avoided.

You should use sunscreens that are suitable for your skin structure, as much as possible from the sun's rays. In addition, the cream, medicine, etc. recommended by your doctor. Taking care to use skin care products will ensure that the result is permanent. Since one of the problems of people with acne problems is oily skin in general, choosing water-based products instead of oil-based products will strengthen the permanence of the results of laser acne treatment.
