Laser therapy is thought to work by inhibiting the activity of skin oil (sebaceous) glands, killing acne bacteria, and reducing inflammation.
It is usually performed about 5 times in 2 to 4-week intervals.
It is a bit painful, but well worth it.
Great for removing redness.
May require multiple treatments.
Sometimes temporary results depending on treated area - the body will often fight/reverse the effects of this laser.
I can't see any. Had three treatments 2 weeks apart at the Private Clinic at Manchester and atm nothing brilliant.
No noticeable changes. Acne hasn't changed. Skin still red. People say that changes appear at the second or even third treatment but at the second, skin was indifferent and third lots more spots in new places. Its expensive! Lots of cheaper places!
Only thing that has truly worked for me (in combination with topical treatments and Spiro)
Expensive
So I have had pretty bad acne and this treatment was a lifesaver. It helped my acne and scarring and prevents new outbreaks.I get numbing cream and then the treatment is almost painfree. I get my treatments at LASERKLINIC ([link removed]). The service/treatments/staff the best.
I get numbing cream and then the treatment is almost painfree.
made my face feel cleaner and smoother
my face is completley red
smoother skin (temporarily)
covered by insurance
effectively treated acne while getting treatments
redness and swelling 1-3 days after (only 2 of 4 treatments)
Once laser treatments were stopped, acne returned
I had moderate acne before laser with levulan. After 1st treatment face exploded with cystic acne! Did 2nd treatment got even worse. Doctor says I have sensitive skin!! Now they say accutane is my only recourse.
fixes broken caps in a jiffy! better results than with previous treatment from an IPL. Just had my second treatment. After the 1st treatment....broken capillaries were reduced by 50%
looking like a spotted leapord (red/purplish spots)... at 2 days post treatment...hope they go away soon!
Clears Acne over time.Took 6months for me.
Definately worth it
Pretty expnsive. u need to buy products from the clinic. Jan Marini serum/cleanser which cost around £40 each
The right dermatologist can make a big difference to your patient experience and the success of your acne treatment plan. Here are the steps to find a dermatologist who is a good fit:
Only a select few plastic surgeons specialize in acne scar revision surgery. Be certain to find a provider who specializes in acne scar repair and who is passionate and experienced in this area.
Pros:
I am a 50 year old person with adult acne. After about 4 treatments, I started seeing results. By the sixth treatment I was not getting breakout.
