Laser skin care is currently thought of as the treatment of choice for diminishing acne scars of all kinds, and is proven above all over the counter treatments to be the most effective. It is imperative to treat active acne before pursuing scar removal. Visiting with a dermatologist who is privy to your plans for scar removal is pertinent as some acne treatments can negatively affect the pending laser treatment. Once both the dermatologist and laser technique specialist are in agreement about the final treatment for acne and the safety of the pending laser procedure, it is time to address those tell-tale scars.
Currently, non-ablative pulsed -dye lasers are popular for this procedure. These lasers have a lot less potential risk and are more effective than predecessors and can quickly and obviously improve the appearance of scarring. Typically three to four treatments are administered over the course of three to four months in equal intervals; however, a patient will begin to see improvement via collagen remodeling within the first week of the first treatment. These improvements will continue vastly over the next several months. Each individual schedule for treatments will differ based on skin type, reaction to the treatment, the patient's desire, and the doctor's recommendation.
The pain associated with laser skin care acne scar treatment has been rated as minimal to tolerable with men having a somewhat lower pain tolerance than women. Recovery time is minimal for the treatment and is usually limited to redness and swelling for a few days, though those with fair skin tones or with light or red hair can experience the redness for several months. Generally, a candidate's knowledge of his or her own skin in conjunction with a specialist's experience will be able to project post-treatment difficulties and tailor a skin care plan and treatment schedule to conquer foreseen issues.
It is important to note that several laser sessions are usually needed for the diminishing of acne scars, and thus the procedure can be costly. Laser skin treatment for acne scars greatly reduces the color and texture of the affected skin that has resulted from pimples, blackheads, blemishes, and cysts. A patient should not expect perfection, but the sustained benefits of color corrections and texture improvements experienced by those who have undergone the laser skin care for acne scar diminishing far outweigh the monetary costs.
