Teenagers have a lot to deal with in their lives in addition to skin problems. After all, there are all of the academic and social pressures that they have to deal with, so it is no wonder that all of the extra stress can result in pimples! Unfortunately, the presence of pimples can also lead to additional self-esteem issues.
Thus, many teenagers end up seeing a dermatologist, who in turn might recommend laser acne removal. It seems strange that lasers would be used for such things, but there have indeed been quite a lot of technological advancements in recent decades, especially when it comes to advancements in medicine.
The first step for anyone interested in getting laser acne removal is to schedule a consultation with a dermatologist. During the consultation, the dermatologist will examine the acne and discuss what the laser acne removal process entails. Basically, laser technology is actually beams of light that are of a very high temperature and frequency. The dermatologist uses this precision of this light to target the infection below the surface of the skin, which causes the acne.
The extreme heat of the laser light eradicates the infection, and then begins to stimulate blood flow, which will in turn repair the tissue that was damaged by the acne. A topical anesthetic is used during the laser acne removal procedure, thus there is only minimal discomfort. For people who have only mild acne, only a session or two will be necessary. People with more severe acne will require several sessions.
