How Do Lasers Work To Treat Acne and Acne Scars?

When people have active acne, their pores become clogged, creating ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. Pimples are caused by the growth of bacteria within the pores. The lasers deliver intense light in pulses within the skin pores without harming the superficial skin. This light generates thermal energy, which gets absorbed by the cell walls of bacteria residing in clogged pores. As a result, many acne-causing bacteria are effectively killed. With reduced live bacteria, the natural healing of the body can keep going against acne reactions.

The lasers are even thought to reduce the production of sebum or natural skin oils, by shrinking the sebaceous glands. Reduced sebum means no clogging of the pores to give rise to acne.

Moreover, the lasers have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the severity of inflammatory acne breakouts. At the same time, the lasers effectively reduce the redness or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation of the skin associated with acne.           

Treatment with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) 

  • Introduction: Intense pulsed light therapy is one of the main forms of light treatment. This light-based system delivers many rapid, high-intensity, controlled light pulses that prevent thermal damage to the skin surface and produce minimal discomfort. Most patients report experiencing a warm sensation as light penetrates through their skin.
  • Treatment: During the treatment, intense light is emitted from an applicator that is pressed onto the skin. The skin professional performing the treatment customizes the acne treatment according to the patient’s skin type and desired results. Multiple light treatment sessions are required to treat acne, based on its severity. Optimal results are typically achieved in 4 to 6 treatment sessions, with a break of 4 weeks in between each treatment.
  • After the Procedure: Immediately following the treatment, the patients can normally expect some redness that lasts for a few hours. They can apply makeup immediately and return to their daily routine on the same day of the treatment. Typically, they must avoid sunlight exposure to their treated skin.

Treatment with ND: YAG Lasers 

  • Introduction: ND: YAG (Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) lasers are non-ablative types of lasers. The ND: YAG lasers target and treat acne lesions as well as the uneven skin tone, texture, and scars left behind by acne breakouts. This non-invasive acne treatment is safe and relatively painless for any skin type and is associated with minimal downtime. It has the advantage of treating active acne and scars, preventing future acne scarring, and avoiding future acne eruptions. This treatment is suitable for any part of the face, neck, and even the backside with existing acne breakouts, whether severe (like cysts) or mild.    
  • Treatment: During the treatment, a layer of cooling gel is applied over the target skin, and eye goggles are provided to protect the eyes from laser light. They emit a 1064 nm wavelength of light in the infrared region, which can penetrate deeper into the skin than other lasers. 

In Q-switched mode, the ND: YAG lasers produce two wavelengths of light- 1064nm and 532nm. The latter is used to treat superficial skin lesions. At this time, the patient can feel a slight sense of warmth and each pulse of light can be felt as if a hot rubber band is snapped against the skin. The overall procedure lasts for 30 minutes or less, depending on the area being treated.

  • After the Procedure: Many patients can see the results after a single laser session. However, it is recommended to undergo 3-6 treatment sessions for optimal results. In cases of hormonal or severe cystic acne, additional treatment sessions may be required.

Acne and acne scars, if treated early, can prevent further damage to the skin. In today's fast-paced world, we don’t have much time to try all the DIYs at home. Also, with the increasing pollution of the environment, those home remedies are not very effective. Therefore, one should seek professional guidance and advanced treatments to tackle these skin issues.
