Types of Lasers

Various kinds of lasers are used for the treatment of acne. They are characterized based on the color and wavelength of light that they emit. There are three types:

  • Pulsed-dye lasers (PDL).
  • Potassium titanyl phosphate lasers (KTP).
  • Infrared lasers.

Most lasers used in acne removal are called fractional lasers. These lasers direct light at exceedingly small columns of skin, like tiny polka dots, and produce fewer side effects.

Common Facts about Laser Acne Removal

The following explains what you can expect from a laser acne removal treatment that uses a laser or other light treatment.

Laser Acne Removal Essentials

Laser treatment for acne usually involves about three sessions at Downtown Esthetics and Wellness and can cost between $600-$1500. It will help reduce acne symptoms, but likely to only provide partial relief.

Laser therapy reduces acne bacteria and skin oil and can provide anti-inflammatory benefits as well.

Studies have shown a wide range of results, anywhere from 36-86% clearance of acne. However, laser acne therapy provides only partial results and is still not considered a first-line acne treatment.

Like so many things in life, the stronger the laser, the better it usually works, but also the more side effects it will produce. The side effects can include some redness, peeling, blistering, crusting, or bruising of the skin. Darkening of the skin in darker-skinned people can happen as well, so if you have darker skin and decide to inquire about laser therapy, be certain to ask Downtown Esthetics and Wellness about this issue, and do not undergo laser acne removal therapy until you are satisfied with the laser chosen. Fractional lasers, which only pinpoint light in a dotted pattern, have grown in popularity for their ability to produce results while limiting side effects.

Since laser therapy can permanently damage skin oil glands, there is still a concern that this could cause unintended long-term consequences, such as premature aging. Any treatment that could permanently alter your skin should be reviewed and met with caution.
