How Laser Acne Treatments Work
Lasers produce intense monochromatic light, or light that is limited to a very narrow band of wavelengths. This is similar to using one color of the rainbow and magnifying it. This laser light can have a very intense effect on certain tissues that absorb that band of light and it has little or no effect on other tissues. Lasers can take advantage of this effect to target specific structures or “chromophores” for destruction. It can also be very precise in the depth of penetration of the laser light.
Procedure Time
Laser acne treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
Typically, repeated treatments are necessary to get the acne under control and then occasional touch-ups are beneficial.
Recovery Time & Side Effects
Minimal recovery and very little down time can be expected. Many patients experience slight redness immediately after their procedure, which typically resolves within 24 hours.
