Lasers Revolutionize Acne Treatment

Everyone knows how embarassing acne can be, and for chronic suffers of acne a new treatment has been introduced. They are now using blue lights, pulsed lights and heat energy, and a diode laser treatments. The blue light therapy uses a low intensity blue light for 15 mins but ongoing treatment is necessary. Pulsed light and heat energy therapy uses a combination of pulsed light and heat to shrink sebaceous glands to decrease oil production. Diode laser treatment destroys the sebaceous glands without harming the outer layer of skin. These treatments can be mildly painful. Let's hope this research works and that moderate to severe acne cases can still have hope!
