What Is Laser Acne Treatment?

Laser acne treatment is also popularly known as laser resurfacing. In this procedure a laser pen is used and the concentrated light-beam is moved back and forth above the acne, vaporizing the unwanted tissue and creating a new skin surface. Laser acne treatments are generally painless and safe, though they are invasive - removing skin layers by erosion, melting, evaporation, and/or vaporization. For people with darker skin colors, laser acne treatment is typically not suitable, although some say that if an expert surgeon can be found, people with darker skin colors can also benefit from laser acne treatment.
