Does Laser face rejuvenation really work?

Patient's Query

Hi, I have a lot of pimples on my face and dull skin also a lot of acne marks. I want to perform laser treatment on my face as I have seen on Youtube videos that this treatment solves all these problems. Is it true??

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

In this treatment a light is made to focus on the upper layers of your skin to break down the tissue containing scars, which simultaneously encourages the growth of newer, healthy looking skin cells that eventually replace the older scarred tissue. Laser treatment can effectively reduce the appearance of acne by itself. But to achieve more drastic results such as acne free skin, it would have to be carried out in combination with other treatments.
There are 3 types of laser techniques based on the scar which is being targeted:
i.) Ablative laser resurfacing device: makes use of an erbium YAG or CO2 laser to remove the entire upper layer of your skin where scarring is present. It can take 3 to 10 days before the redness from ablative laser begins to subside.
ii.) Non-ablative laser resurfacing: This treatment uses infrared lasers, heat of which plays a vital role in stimulating collagen production and encourages growth of newer cells as well, so as to replace damaged, scarred tissue.
iii.) Fractionated laser treatment: The tissue underneath your scar is stimulated using laser, so as to remove cells that are darkly pigmented and situated underneath the topmost layer of your skin. Boxcar and icepick scars can in some cases respond well to this kind of laser.
Typical side effects will be swelling, redness, and pain at the site of treatment. While hyperpigmentation and some skin infection are some of the risks which you may want to be vary of. If you are considered fit for this treatment by the doctor, then in that case you may have to avoid certain kind of supplements, smoking and skin care products containing certain ingredients, for few weeks before this treatment will take place.

My face having to much pimple and acne.my skin type is oily which facewash and serum I use for my skin please give me suggestions

Female | 24

Oily skin is common and can lead to pimples and acne. The symptoms are so shiny skin, big pores, and sometimes breakouts. The cause of oily skin is the excessive sebum production by the skin. Salicylic acid face wash to unclog pores will suffice for this purpose. Oil control is also possible with a serum containing niacinamide.

some allergy suddenly arised from my body it caused my finger and arm swallow

Female | 17

When certain allergies occur, body parts tend to swell. This might have been caused by contact with something like a plant or chemical that does not agree with you. Ensure the affected area is washed properly. To reduce the swelling, you can use an antihistamine. Seek immediate medical attention if things get worse or if you find it hard to breathe.

A Face Night fall two Times a Month and Unmarried

Female | 22

Nightfall or wet dreams are common and normal phenomena for unmarried young people. It occurs precisely because your body is generating hormones. Having it happen twice a month can't be a cause for alarm most of the time. To minimize the frequency of such occurrences, avoid stimulating activities before bed, keep yourself busy during the day, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it

Male | 22

You may have jock itch, a fungal infe­ction. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summe­r can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To tre­at it: keep the are­a clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use­ antifungal creams, don't share towels.

Acne on cheeks, have many big spots

Male | 29

You have some large, bumpy areas on your face. Those are known as zits or pimples. Zits occur when the tiny holes in our skin, called pores, become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can make them look red and swollen or feel tender to the touch. A good way to get rid of acne is to wash your face gently with warm water and soap twice a day; never squeeze the spots because it can cause scars, or use products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid which help clear up blackheads and whiteheads.
