What can I expect the day I receive acne laser treatment?
Each type of acne laser treatment offers a slightly different procedure experience, so talk to your skin care specialist once you decide which treatment is best for you. No matter which you choose, every acne laser treatment available at Skin And Cancer Institute is minimally invasive with quick healing time and optimal results.
What will recovery be like after I receive acne laser treatment?
You may experience mild swelling and dryness as well as a sensation similar to a sunburn for a few days after acne laser treatment. Patients are able to go back to work immediately following treatment. Even though you are able to return to regular activities, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions given to you by your skin care specialist. Failure to do so may delay or diminish the results of acne laser treatment. Completely avoid the sun for 48 hours after each treatment session.
Do I need to follow a special skin care routine after receiving acne treatment?
Your skin care specialist will give you detailed instructions after your acne laser treatment. You may receive a prescription for special creams or gels to maximize the results. Be sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from sun exposure during both the healing phase and for several months after treatment. Apply a moisturizing sunblock with an SPF of at least 30. For at least six months after treatment, avoid being in the sun as much as possible.
When will I see results after acne laser treatment?
Depending on the type of acne laser treatment and the severity of your acne and acne scars, you may need anywhere from 3-10 treatments for optimal results. Patients typically begin to see improvement after their first acne laser treatment, and many return once or twice a year for continued results.
