How the Aramis Laser Can Treat Acne


Advertisement

 

Erbium lasers and laser skin resurfacing procedures are among the most effective treatments for treating acne and reducing acne scars, and work by targeting the sebaceous glands to stop the overproduction of oil.
 
The Aramis Laser is a glass erbium laser that can treat acne, and also eliminate unwanted facial lines and wrinkles. It is an FDA-approved treatment for acne, and offers a number of skin rejuvenation benefits. Here’s a close look at how the Aramis laser works for acne, and how it can help you achieve beautiful skin:

How the Aramis Laser Works

The Aramis laser works by shrinking the sebaceous glands, the glands responsible for producing oil. People who are suffering from acne typically have overactive sebaceous glands that produce inflammatory acne lesions across the face and neck area. The laser device emits a powerful wavelength of energy that helps to create a light burn to the dermis. This ‘burn’ is detected as an injury to the skin, which in turn triggers collagen production and promotes the natural skin renewal process.
 
The Aramis laser can help to slow down the production of oil and reduces the occurrence of breakouts dramatically. Over time, this process allows the skin to heal naturally and inflammation is reduced.
 
The Aramis laser uses thermal energy to alter the activity of the sebaceous glands within minutes, and as the skin begins to heal itself from the ‘trauma’, the skin begins to clear up. One treatment with the Aramis laser every two months can be enough to stop the overproduction of oil and keep acne under control. However, people suffering from severe acne breakouts may require a few treatments over the course of a year to see noticeable results.

Benefits of the Aramis Laser as an Acne Treatment

Although the Aramis laser is used primarily to treat unwanted lines and wrinkles, it offers a number of benefits for people suffering from acne, and those who have acne-prone skin. The key benefits of the Aramis laser as an acne treatment include:
 
  • Pain-free treatment
  • More beneficial to acne-prone skin than microdermabrasion and peels
  • Can be combined with other skin rejuvenation regimes to produce better results
  • Helps stimulate natural healing process of the skin
  • Clears up acne scars after a few short months
  • Can produce exceptional results with a series of treatments spaced out over a few months
  • Helps reduce the occurrence of acne breakouts
  • Slows down sebaceous gland activity
  • Significant reduction in skin oiliness
  • No side effects
  • Does not require application of anesthesia
  • Reduces and eliminates bacteria production that is causing acne
The Aramis laser is among the most effective ways to treat acne and help to improve the skin’s appearance. It does not require a pre-treatment regimen, and a series of 8 to 10 treatments every week can be undertaken by those with moderate to severe acne.
