The latest laser treatment for acne is Fraxel®, a fractional laser that targets acne scars and blemishes.
How Fraxel® Works
Fraxel® uses a laser to create tiny, evenly spaced holes in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing process, which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve the appearance of acne scars, reduce redness, and even out skin tone.
Benefits of Fraxel®
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars: Fraxel® can help to reduce the depth and prominence of acne scars, making them less noticeable.
- Improves skin texture: Fraxel® can help to improve the overall texture of the skin, making it smoother and more even.
- Reduces redness: Fraxel® can help to reduce redness associated with acne.
- Stimulates collagen production: Fraxel® stimulates the production of new collagen, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
Other Laser Treatments for Acne
While Fraxel® is a popular and effective treatment, other laser treatments can also be used for acne:
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): This treatment uses broad-spectrum light to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation.
- Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): This treatment uses a photosensitizing agent and light to kill acne-causing bacteria.
Conclusion
Fraxel® is a safe and effective laser treatment that can help to improve the appearance of acne scars and blemishes. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine if Fraxel® is the right treatment for you.
