Acne/Acne Scarring
Acne not only affects teenagers, but can also be seen frequently in 20 and 30 year olds as well. Oily skin is often a contributing factor.

Acne is characterized by pimples and occasionally by red bumps and cysts. Heredity plays a significant role in the severity of acne.

Proper care of the skin and the use of the correct skin products can help make a significant difference in the control of acne. Patients should see a dermatologist if they cannot achieve full clearing of acne on their own.

Uncontrolled acne can eventually cause facial scarring in some patients. The 1540 Fractional Laser Resurfacing is currently one of the best available methods for treating acne scarring. After completing a series of four or five 1540 Fractional Laser treatments, patients can expect acne scarring to be significantly improved.
