Laser Light Therapy is a procedure that is typically used on patients that suffer from acne, but it may also be helpful to tighten skin and eliminate age spots. The treatment works on the deeper skin levels, so that the light will reduce the wrinkles and control the production of sebum which leads to acne formation.
Laser Light Therapy can be used in patients with all types of skin, including oily skin, but the effects of the treatment may be less visible than in patients with other skin types. There may also be certain side effects in people with oily skin.
Laser Light Therapy for Oily Skin
Laser Light Therapy is suitable for use in patients with oily skin. Patients with oily skin are more prone to developing acne, and these patients may seek various types of treatment. Laser Light Therapy can be useful in reducing acne, especially when applied in several sessions.
In patients with oily skin, Laser Light Therapy is not applied differently than in other skin types, but the specialist may use a cleansing solution that is created for oily skin to remove the impurities from the skin just before the treatment. The light will affect the mesoderm (the middle layer of the skin) and will reduce the amount of the sebum produced and secreted on the surface of the skin, which will reduce the chances of developing acne.
Patients with oily skin will experience fewer side effects, but the skin can be more dry for a few days after the procedure.
