Acne Laser Treatment - Tracey Bell

Laser acne treatment is a proven, effective way of dealing with teeange and adult acne. Our powerful but gentle laser will reduce the unsightly dark-red marks left by large ugly spots and reduce the number and frequency of spots on face, back, neck and shoulders. We combine the use of the laser acne treatment with effective medical treatment as an extra weapon in the fight against acne.

How does laser acne treatment work?
Acne is a disorder of the skin follicles which gives an excess of oil in the skin and this often becomes infected with a bacteria called P.Acnes. Your body responds by trying to remove the infection and the bacteria. The result is lots of inflammation in the follicle and unfortunately, a big, red ugly spot.

Are there different types of acne scarring?
Yes, absolutely. The first type results from increased tissue formation at the site of the acne and usually appears as a raised red and often itchy area. Different genetic backgrounds and ethnicity is often relevant and whilst coloured skins tend to form keloid scars a very similar condition can occur in white skin also. These hypertrophic or keloid scars are often difficult to treat. They occur because of over-active healing in the original acne lesion. They can be treated by aplying silicone gel ether by applying small sheets or using a rub in gel. Alternatively they can be carefully injected with tiny amounts of steroid which will gradually shrink the area. This needs to be done very carefully and gradually.

The second type of acne scar is caused by the loss of tissue rather than too much. These give a variety of scars including ice-pick scars and deep attached fibrotic scars. They can be treated by a variety of means including subcision where under local anaesthetic a cutting needle is introduced and the thered area beneath the scar is divided, freeing the tissue over it. We will often introduce some additional moisturiser into the area with a small injection of Restylane. This serves to hydrate and maintain the divided skin allowing less chance of further scar formation
