With Acoustic Wave Therapy, patients with medium skin tones will be able to enjoy reduced acne scarring on their skin, helping them feel more self confident in their appearance.
What Medium Skin Patients Can Expect
When a patient has medium tone skin, they may be concerned that laser skin therapy may cause long term scarring or discoloration. As with any surgical procedure, there are some coloring side effects which may occur:
- Pinkish red patches where lasers were used
- General redness in the area
- Swelling in the area can change the tone of the skin
These changes to the medium skin tone are temporary and will subside after the patient's skin has had a chance to recover.
Other Possible Side Effects
With Acoustic Wave Therapy, patients may notice some pain in the area where the treatment took place, though this can be treated with an over the counter pain reliever, in most cases. A dermatologist will also give the patient numbing cream before the procedure to minimize discomfort during and after the procedure.
Acoustic Wave Therapy can help patients see fewer significant acne scars on their face, which will not only help with self esteem, but these changes can also improve a patient's feeling of attractiveness when out in the world.
