Acne is an unpleasant, red sore on your skin that frequently emerges at the worst possible time. Acne occurs when blocked oil glands in the skin become irritated, causing the gland or hair follicle to break. There are numerous acne treatments available, including over-the-counter, prescription, creams, and oral and topical drugs. Many people get results, while many others do not and continue to suffer from acne.
Those patients may be in luck, though, because a new acne treatment is now available: laser therapy for acne. Although laser and light-based acne treatments have been available for more than a decade, they have only recently gained popularity. Thatโs because itโs faster, safer, and has no negative consequences.
