Patients throughout Daphne, Fairhope, Gulf Shores, and Alabama can look forward to experiencing the following benefits:
Before the laser treatment, Dr. Fedok will thoroughly evaluate your skin type, and the severity of your acne and acne scars. He utilizes advanced laser technology to target and address active acne and improve the appearance of acne scars. During treatment, protective eyewear is worn, and the laser is applied to the skin.
When it comes to acne scar laser treatment, Dr. Fedok’s treatment focuses on reducing their appearance by stimulating collagen production in the skin. The chosen laser device emits controlled pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s surface and reach the deeper layers where collagen is produced. By heating these layers, the laser encourages the production of new collagen, which helps to fill in and smoothen the depressions or irregularities caused by acne scars. Over time, this results in a more even skin texture and diminished scar visibility.
In terms of reducing active acne, laser therapy plays a crucial role in several ways. The laser emits specific wavelengths of light that can target the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts. By destroying the acne-causing bacteria, laser treatment helps to reduce inflammation and minimize the severity and frequency of breakouts.
Additionally, laser therapy can help regulate sebum production in the skin, which is another contributing factor to acne. By controlling sebum production, the treatment helps prevent clogged pores, reducing the likelihood of future acne breakouts. Dr. Fedok ensures patient safety and comfort throughout the treatment process.
