The common skin condition known as acne is usually associated with teenagers dealing with hormonal changes.
But adults deal with acne, too. It comes in different forms and can happen for a variety of reasons.
Peach Skin & Laser helps patients in the Yuma and Tucson, Arizona, areas with cutting-edge technology like Lumenis® laser therapy to deliver quality results for many skin conditions, including adult acne.
What causes acne in adults?
The most common reasons for adult acne are clogged pores and skin inflammation.
Your skin can be irritated by things like harsh cleansers and razors that can lower the skin’s defenses, which can lead to acne.
Other things that can irritate the skin include emotional stress, physical stress, hormonal changes, bacteria, and medications.
How does laser therapy help?
Laser therapy is a form of treatment used for a variety of skin conditions, including warts, moles, birthmarks, sun damage, wrinkles, blemishes, scars, acne, and acne scars.
Laser therapy devices use focused light at specific wavelengths. They direct light and heat treatment precisely where it is needed.
The laser breaks up damaged skin tissue (like clogged pores) and helps produce new skin cells. This does less damage to surrounding tissue, reduces inflammation, and helps promote healthy tissue growth.
And the non-invasive, outpatient treatment allows for less pain, swelling, and scarring.
When can you expect results?
It may take a few weeks after the procedure to see results, and depending on the size of the area being treated, it may take multiple sessions.
Mild swelling, redness, and stinging may be experienced in the treated areas for up to 6-8 hours after treatment. Cold packs and moist cloths can be used to alleviate irritation.
Laser therapy is a safe and quick method for treating acne, but treatment requires an experienced team of medical professionals. Make an appointment with Peach Skin & Laser to treat acne and get clearer, smoother skin.
