How Laser Treatments Work to Help Adult Acne and Teenage Acne

Reducing Bacteria (P. Acnes)

Acne is often caused by a type of bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), which thrives in the pores. Certain lasers can target and kill these acne-causing bacteria. By reducing the bacteria on the skin, lasers can help prevent future breakouts.

Decreasing Sebum Production (Oil)

One of the key contributors to acne is the overproduction of oil (sebum) by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Non-ablative lasers like Nd:YAG and Diode lasers penetrate the skin and target the sebaceous glands. This can reduce the amount of oil the glands produce, helping to prevent clogged pores and future acne formation.

Reducing Inflammation

Acne often causes inflammation, leading to red, swollen pimples and cysts. Lasers can target and reduce inflammation by constricting blood vessels and calming the skin. This helps reduce the redness and swelling associated with acne lesions.

Stimulating Collagen Production (for Scarring)

Even after acne is cleared, it can leave behind scars. Certain lasers work by stimulating the skin’s natural collagen production. This promotes the healing of acne scars, improving skin texture and helping the skin to look healthier, smoother and more even.

Resurfacing the Skin (for Clogged Pores)

Ablative lasers can remove the outer layer of the skin (epidermis), which helps to clear clogged pores and reduce the appearance of active acne. This resurfacing action also promotes healthier skin regeneration and can help smooth out any scars left by acne.

Preventing Future Breakouts

By controlling the oil production, killing bacteria, and stimulating healing, laser treatments can lead to fewer breakouts over time. With a series of treatments, the skin can maintain clearer, healthier-looking skin for longer periods, reducing the likelihood of new acne forming.
