Laser for acne

What is laser for acne?

The main advantage of laser-assisted drainage is the rapid resolution of active lesions, papules, pustules, comedones and spots.

The use of laser to prevent scars from forming adds another fundamental benefit

Comedonic acne is another form of active acne that takes months to resolve with medical treatment:

Acné comedoniano múltiple
Laser assisted comedolysis

Scars are established by allowing nodules, pustules and comedones to persist for a long time:

Laser-assisted extraction of mature open comedones requires rapid resolution, which is only possible when the turnover of the tissues that form it is provoked.

Large open comedones have to be "unmemorized" by causing a change in the epithelium so that the body can close the tracts.

Why laser cleaning is better?

Drainage of lesions is faster, more complete and less traumatic.

Is the laser used to remove mud?

Yeah. An opening is made that is drier and wider than that of a needle without bleeding and the comedo comes out completely. The site of origin of the comedo is also eliminated.

A hole slightly larger than the one made with a needle can be seen to facilitate the extraction of the keratin material and in this case, the presence of a whitish capsule that sheltered the keratin, maintaining the comedo permanently despite manual extraction.

Is laser used to remove red scars?

The Fraxel 1550 ® laser reduces red acne scars.

Does laser cure acne?

Only mild cases that have had comedones for a long time that do not go away. Most cases require medication.

It can be called “healing” when cases that have accumulated injuries have not been resolved by other means.

Se trataba de un caso de notable falla al tratamiento médico debido a la elevada presencia de puentes de comedones
This was a case of notable failure of medical treatment due to the high presence of comedone bridges.

Does laser work for acne on the back?

Acne on the back is usually an indication for general therapy with isotretinoin. However, when this therapy is not possible, photodynamic therapy is indicated for the back.

Aunque no es la primera escogencia de terapia y dadas complicaciones como las pigmentaciones post-inflamatorias en este caso la respuesta fue muy evidente
Although it is not the first choice of therapy and given complications such as post-inflammatory pigmentation, in this case the response was very evident.

Is the laser useful when medical treatment has failed?

In cases of persistent acne, all comedones must be extracted and for this the laser is used. Excoriated comedonic acne without response to medical treatment:

Las escoriaciones son mayores cuando los comedones son de difícil extracción manual como se aprecia en la fotografía superior. La comedolisis asistida con láser logra la desaparición completa y libre de lesión a la piel vecina
The excoriations are greater when the comedones are difficult to remove manually, as can be seen in the photograph above. Laser-assisted comedolysis achieves complete disappearance free of injury to the neighboring skin.
When an acne lesion persists, it is due to the accumulation of trapped keratin material.
