Acne Laser Treatment by Dr. Rinky Kapoor
Acne is a common problem faced by teenagers. Puberty is a time of hormonal surges and excessive production of androgens in the body can result in oily skin, which in turn serves as the breeding ground for Acne vulgaris. Although most of the times, incidence of acne reduces as teenage passes, some people continue to get severe acne throughout their twenties and thirties.
Therefore, Acne vulgaris or acne is better defined as a long term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. Abnormal hormone activity during menstrual cycles and puberty, may contribute to the formation of acne vulgaris. But some people can have a genetic predisposition towards development of acne as well.
The severity of acne can result in ghastly scars which in turn ruin the overall appearance of a person. Topical azelaic acid benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, antibiotics, iso-tretinoin and retinoids are commonly prescribed as topical and oral treatment options for Acne. However, acne laser treatment is now the most favored option for its safe and speedy desired results. Furthermore, it is considered the best treatment for acne vulgaris as it causes minimal scarring.
Acne laser treatment uses focused laser light to target Acne vulgaris bacteria, which is the root cause of acne breakouts. The treatment process is called Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL) or photo facial. Not only does acne laser treatment eliminates the existing bacteria and shrinks hyperactive sebaceous glands, it also reduces the chances of future acne breakout significantly.
The shrinkage of sebaceous glands results in less oil production. As the oiliness of skin is controlled, growth of Acne vulgaris is also checked. It requires at least eight sessions of acne laser treatment, spread over four weeks for the treatment to become truly effective. But it is considered the best treatment for Acne vulgaris as its results are three times better than antibiotics and topical treatment options.
Laser therapy can also be considered best treatment for Acne vulgaris for individuals whose acne has been resistant to topical and oral medications. However, it is important to get acne laser treatment from trained professionals only for best results.
