Acne scars and all kinds of skin damages, skin imperfections and wrinkles can very well be treated with the help of laser treatment, which is also called laser resurfacing. High energy light is used to remove these scars and cure skin damages.

Previously, to remove acne scars, dermatologists used the method of chemical peeling which was quite a satisfactory treatment for some, but for few it didn’t work so well. The laser treatment for acne scars, which is a completely new invention, is proving very effective treatment for acne scar removal and producing convincing results.

The reason behind the success of laser acne treatment is that it helps to heal the scars from inside by promoting the growth of collagen, naturally.
It produces the result which is long lasting and in most of the cases no complication arises.

The major shortcoming of laser acne treatment is that the face hurts for almost a week after the treatment. Your physician will prescribe medicine to lessen your discomfort.

Not only this, you will have to stay back home and use good foundation to conceal your face as it turns red and remains in this condition for couple of days. But before using any brand of foundation, you must consult your doctor, because your skin may react with any over the counter cosmetics.

There are mainly three types of laser acne resurfacing treatment.

Smoothbeam laser
Vbeam laser
Fraxel laser

Smoothbeam Laser treatment is done using topical anesthetic before the laser starts working. The cryogen spray is used on your face which cools the face and makes the treatment easy and comfortable.  The positive aspect of this treatment is that it does not leave your face red for weeks. The redness goes away very soon and gives you a smooth and refreshing skin within few hours.

Fraxel Laser method treats acne is a very precise way by targeting the scar area without leaving any affect on the surrounding skin. The main objective of this treatment is to get rid of acne from the top layer of the skin. It is the most advanced method among laser resurfacing treatment.

Vbeam Laser treatment targets blood vessels and makes different size of acne and scars less visible.

Which type of laser resurfacing will suit you best will be decided by your dermatologist only depending on pimples, scars or open pores you have.
