How Does Laser Active Acne Work:

Laser therapy for active acne works by utilizing specific wavelengths of light to target and treat the underlying causes of acne breakouts. Here’s how it works:

• Bacterial Reduction: The primary target of laser therapy is the acne-causing bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). The laser emits a wavelength of light, typically blue or red, that penetrates the skin’s surface and reaches the deeper layers where the bacteria reside.
• Photoactivation: When the laser light interacts with the P. acnes bacteria, it stimulates the production of oxygen radicals within the bacteria. These radicals are toxic to the bacteria, effectively destroying them.
• Reduction of Inflammation: Laser therapy also helps to reduce inflammation in and around acne lesions. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with inflammatory acne.
• Stimulation of Healing: In addition to targeting bacteria, laser therapy stimulates the skin’s natural healing processes. This can lead to faster recovery and reduced scarring.
• Collagen Production: The laser treatments can also promote collagen production, which helps in improving skin texture and minimizing the appearance of acne scars over time.
