Acne: Laser, a good therapy for acne without side effects |
|
|
Laser appears to be a good therapy for acne without side
effects. Lasers and light-based systems have become one of the
more common modalities to treat a wide variety of skin
disorders, including acne vulgaris, during the past ten years.
A lot of patients do not respond adequately or develop side
effects with the various oral and topical treatments available
for the treatment of acne. Hence, the growing demand by patients
who suffered from acne for a faster, safer, and side-effect-free
novel therapy.
The Dermatology and Lasers Clinic from Tel Aviv Msq, Caesarea,
Israel, studied this concerning situation in order to address
the role of light therapy in the armamentarium of treatments for
acne vulgaris, to discuss photobiology aspects and biomedical
optics, to review current technologies of laser/light-based
devices, to review the clinical experience and results, and |

to
outline clinical guidelines and treatment considerations, as
they reported.
After a series of clinical trials, results show that 85 per cent
of the patients show an important quantitative reduction in at
least 50 per cent of their lesions after four biweekly
treatments. Approximately 20 per cent of cases demonstrate that
acne eradication may reach 90 per cent. Three months after the
last treatment, clearance is approximately 70 per cent to 80 per
cent. Meanwhile, the non-respondent rate is 15 per cent to 20
per cent.
According to researchers, laser and light-based therapies are a
safe and effective modality for the treatment of mild to
moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. After comparing to the
effects of oral antibiotics, amelioration of acne by light
therapy offers faster resolution and fewer side effects and
leads to patient satisfaction. Article written by Hector |
