Laser energy can be used to decrease the activity of oil glands and heat and destroy acne-associated bacteria that reside in the pores of the skin. This can be a synergistic treatment with acne medications. The laser acne facial is painless. Some patients experience a mild warmth or tingling sensation during the treatment. To see a response, it is recommended laser facials be performed every 2-3 weeks, for 6 to 8 treatments. Other acne prone areas such as the neck, chest, and back can also be treated.
