The use of laser treatment for treating acne has been gaining popularity and publicity recently, but is there any weight behind all the claims being made. Originally it was seen as a last resort, if everything else (specifically drug based medications) had failed. So why the sudden surge of acne laser treatment products and services?

Just to be clear, acne laser treatment is a method of treating the scar tissue of an already existing acne condition, and not a treatment to help prevent the cause of acne in the first place. Prevention is always better than cure, but if you are suffering with severe acne, it may be a treatment method you could discuss with your doctor.

A Drug Free Treatment That Works

As you would expect, this form of therapy is completely non invasive and totally drug free. The success rate is very high, and when combined with other forms of treatment including various medications and preventative methods, the results can be exceptional.

The way the laser treatment works is by bombarding the affected areas with short but intense beams of light. Different treatments use different types and colors of light, but the effect is that the skin and pores secrete a lot less oil.

Some types of light will also kill the bacteria that forms the acne, effectively "killing" it from within. Another positive side effect is that the light therapy has also been shown to help the production of collagen, which can then help improve skin tone and reduce and scarring.

As more and more test and studies are carried out using laser treatments and light therapy, the positive results are helping the process gain a lot of credibility and popularity. There have been no known negative side effects reported, and the overall success rate for patients has been very high. Results tend to come quicker than when using more traditional methods, and skin tone is generally improved.

As more positive results and test cases are logged, more research is performed, and the treatment is also showing to be effective for use with acne vulgaris.

The success rate of acne laser treatments is also extremely good, with almost 100% of cases seeing positive results within a 12 week period - which when compared to anywhere between 6 and 8 months for oral treatments makes quite a difference.

Owing to the effectiveness of the procedure, many home use acne laser treatment products are entering the market, but before you go ahead and buy your own, it's well worth checking with your doctor to see if they can help.
