Laser Acne Treatment in Miami

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

using laser procedures have become a very effective way of curing acne for good. The investment made initially is well worth it because it is long lasting and is done only through several visits. But, I have been trying to find laser acne treatment in Miami and I have not been successful, though I do know that they are existant.

There are four different types of laser procedures that can be done to cure the effects of acne, whether it be acne, scarring, or both. I’ll go through a list of all four laser treatments:

SmoothBeam for Acne: This procedure is FDA-approved to treat acne. It targets sebaceous glands and shrinks them. The procedure is completed through four treatments usually around a month apart. Results are long-lasting. This is a great laser acne treatment in Miami.

SmoothBeam for Acne Scars: Also FDA-approved, and it is excellent at treating scars that are visible. This is definitely recommended for anyone looking to rid of scars that won’t go away.

Blue Light: This treatment is definitely one that will provide you with some interesting knowledge. First, different colors of light provide different wavelengths and also are responsible for different actions. Blue light is responsible for activating bacteria which is toxic to the bacteria itself, therefore eliminating acne.

This procedure is not as long-lasting, because bacteria can regrow, but it is less expensive than SmoothBeam and is painless, whereas the other method recommends a topical analgesic in order to numb pain. If you live close to the procedure place when getting the laser acne treatment in Miami then it is well worth the several trips.

Photodynamic Therapy: This is essentially the same as Blue Light but it is combined with a chemical. Instead of just targetting the bacteria, the chemical also targets the sebaceous glands which SmoothBeam treatments do.

An advantage when compared to Blue Light alone is that it requires less treatments, therefore less hassle by having to visit so many times. It is also more effective, and expensive, then the standard procedure. This procedure is much more intense, so it can cause the acne to possibly get worse before improving, and you become very, very sensitive to sunlight.

There are many different treatments available to cure acne, and technology has improved drastically to allow these to become possible. If you are looking to get rid of acne, then find laser acne treatment in Miami, and pick the method that you think is best for you.
