What is Acne?

Acne is a type of skin diseases that affects the skin’s oil glands. Our skin pores is connected to oil glands under our skin. The said gland produces a substance called sebum. When sebum, hair and skin cells clump together in a plug, the plug causes swelling and later on, when the plug breaks down, a pimple grows and this is where acne starts.

Did you know that white heads, black heads are also types of acne? And the worst acne is a pimple.

Acne could be a mild skin disease but it’s inconvenient for someone that suffers from it. That’s why dermatologist came up with numbers of procedures and cures to prevent and heal pimples. There’s what we called topical antibiotics, topical retinoids, topical medicines, oral medication and other topical medications.

Above are long-term cure for acne. But these methods became ineffective due to overuse or mishandling. That’s why plastic surgeons and dermatologists came up with a new technology method of treating acne, the Laser Acne Treatment.

Laser acne removal is also called laser resurfacing because laser treatment involves melting, evaporation and vaporization of unwanted tissue on the skin’s surface. It produces a new surface for skin cell growth, thus giving you clearer skin after the treatment.

This procedure is also painless and safe but it has side effect like bruising and swelling. Do not worry, this is normal and will last only for two weeks. Laser acne treatment is also the most expensive treatment compare to others.
