Scottsdale Laser Acne Treatment


Laser acne treatment is an increasingly popular method in Scottsdale which uses the highly focused beams of laser energy to control or destroy oil glands which can cause or exacerbate acne, as well as techniques to eliminate or lessen the appearance of scarring due to acne.

Huge advances have been made in laser acne treatment in the last decade. New types of lasers and laser energy have allowed Scottsdale specialists to focus more accurately on the underlying causes of acne, as well as treating cases on a more individualized basis.

A topical numbing anesthetic cream may be applied to the area by your Scottsdale specialist prior to laser treatment, based on which type of procedure is being performed. There are many types of lasers and, generally, the type of laser to be used depends upon the condition which is being treated. Neither incisions nor general anesthesia is required for these procedures, which are non-invasive. Following some laser acne procedures, you may experience slight redness and swelling, as well as some minor discomfort. Generally, you can expect to return to your normal routine immediately after the procedure, as there is no downtime involved. Advice about moisturizers and makeup use after treatment will be discussed by your specialist.

In Scottsdale, the cost of your laser acne treatment will usually range from $2,000 to $3,500, and will vary depending upon the type of treatment you choose.
