Laser Acne Removal

Laser acne removal treatments have been around for some time now but it is only in recent years that they have been used not simply for more severe cases of acne, but also for mild to moderate acne.

The beauty of laser acne removal is that it is a very fast procedure with generally very few side effects and in many people produces much better results than weeks or months of using a variety of different acne creams or treatment with antibiotics. The downside is that it is not a simple home treatment and needs to be carried out by a dermatologist (or at least a technician under the supervision of a dermatologist) and, even though prices have come down considerably, it can be an expensive form of acne treatment.

Curing acne is difficult at the best of times and requires considerable patience and perseverance. It is also something which varies considerably from one individual to the next and the cream that works like magic for a friend might work less well, or not at all, for you. The same is true to an extent with laser acne treatments, although most people do benefit from this type of treatment.

If you are considering laser treatment then your first port of call should be your dermatologist who will be able to assess your condition and advise you on the degree to which the treatment is likely to help in your particular case.

Customer Review: Not worth it. Is not how they describe it on t.v., "Dab some on and pimple is almost gone when you wake up." Does dry you out too. Would NOT buy again. Proactiv is overpriced.
