Acne Scar Treatment

One of the things most people absolutely dread about their skin is acne. This skin condition not only hampers the way you look when it appears, but even when it goes away, it sometimes leaves scars behind, reminding you of your past condition. Women and men alike have wanted to get rid of these scars for ages and one of the most widely acclaimed ways of doing so is by Acne scar treatment with laser and not just any laser but the PicoSure laser treatment.

Unlike other methods that may involve some post-treatment recovery of some sort or the other, this is a non invasive procedure that gives people results without having to put up with downtimes and unnecessary discomforts.

Here is a low down on some of the common questions in this regard that most people have wanted to know about Acne Scar Treatment.

How does this PicoSure Laser Method Treatment work?

The method of laser scar removal makes use of the latest PicoSure technology to ensure accuracy and effectiveness in its laser treatment. The use of the laser on the skin is not to make an incision or to burn, but rather, the power of the laser is designed to boost the immune system of the area in and around the scar, so that the scared tissue is phased out and replaced by collagen and elastin tissue.

The fact that it is a non-ablative (non-burning) method makes it safe for use on a number of skin types.

What can you expect with the Treatment?

To most people who have suffered from acne and still have the scars of that encounter on their faces, treating them and eliminating those scars is a tough, uphill battle. Yet, in reality, treating these scars through the laser treatment method is easy. The use of laser makes sure that your skin stays away from damage and yet, by acceleration of a natural process, the scars are eliminated. There is no down-time except for a temporary redness for a few hours similar to a light sunburn.

How Long Does the Process Take?

Unlike other surgical procedures, this procedure is faster. Typically, you will only have to spend as many as 30 minutes or less being treatment for acne. Yet, the time for the treatment will depend largely on the size of the area that is being treated. Treatment of the whole face takes less than 45 minutes.

How Many Sessions are needed and when will the patient be able to get back to normal?

There is no right or wrong answer to this question. Each skin type and case is unique and the number of times that a patient will require treatment largely depends on the situation at the time and the severity of the scarring. Typically though, this number will be within 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

What is this PicoSure Laser and what does it add to the Table?

Laser technology has been in use for a number of years now and the latest of these laser types is PicoSure laser. A cutting edge device that has been in making for a number of years, it is the market’s most advanced laser technology that gives you a greater impact. One of the reasons that it has been touted as a savior is largely down to the extremely short pulse duration measured in picoseconds (trillionth of a second), hence the name.
