Home/Beauty/Different Types of Laser Treatments: Hair Removal, Acne Treatment, Scar Treatment, and Skin Tightening
Beauty
You know there are several types of laser treatments for hair removal and skin tightening, but you may not have been aware of laser treatments for acne. Acne is an uncomfortable skin condition that can leave behind scars that make you feel self-conscious. It is a common misconception that the scars are permanent, but you can have them removed using a laser treatment.
Laser treatment uses monochromatic lights to restore the dermal fibroblasts, which are the skin cells that promote healing by replacing the elastin and collagen that were lost during the scarring. It is an outpatient procedure that may include some mild discomfort, but a topical anesthetic is used to ensure you do not feel any pain.
If you are interested in having your scars removed, there are several types of laser treatments for scars.

The professionals at NewSkin Laser Center in Northridge and Simi Valley also use IPL for things like age spots, sun-damaged skin, uneven skin color, rosacea, undesirable texture due to large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, and sun-induced freckles. This means if you have been treated for one of those other issues, you may already be familiar with IPL. If not, then once you try it for acne, it might be a good time to consider it for treating those other skin conditions too.
Smoothbeam Laser Treatment
The Smoothbeam Laser Treatment is used to stimulate collagen development and fill your scars from the inside. It uses a cooling device that sprays cryogen to cool the target area, which protects the epidermis. A second laser is used to generate heat on the upper dermis. You may need several sessions of this non-ablative acne treatment to remove all the scars.
eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation
The eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation reduces acne scars and wrinkles to create a smooth complexion. It uses electrical pulses to activate the dermal fibroblasts and regenerate collagen. The tissues in the surrounding area also take part in the healing process.
There are several benefits of having laser treatment done to remove your scars.
