Is Laser Surgery Recommended For Your Acne?
Acne laser surgery has gained in popularity, as many suffers are
prepared to take drastic action to fight back against acne. Even
though it can work wonders acne laser surgery should only be
considered for use in extreme cases, when it is really necessary
as a last resort. While it is often considered a beauty
treatment, it is real, serious surgery and, as such, should not
be used without careful consideration.
How does it work?
The procedure must only be administered by a trained doctor. A
dermatologist may use acne laser surgery in the most severe acne
cases to dig to the very core of a pimple and clear it
completely. The laser device is designed so that it is weak
enough not to cause any additional damage beyond the area being
treated. Most experts consider this laser surgery very safe, but
as with any surgery there is always at least a small opportunity
for unexpected consequences.
Are there any problems with acne laser surgery?
Every responsible doctor will council that acne laser surgery is
by no means a perfect and universal solution. There are several
important factors that limit the surgery's usefulness.
1. The causes of acne Laser surgery concentrates only on one
aspect of the disease - its visible effects. While the surgery
can surely get rid of acne's visible symptoms, it can not really
heal. The laser surgery should be only a part of more complex
acne treatment program that will consist of a change of diet,
reducing stress levels and possibly even hormonal treatment.
Otherwise
the symptoms will sooner or later appear once again.
2. Doctors' only Another possible problem is the surgeon's skill
(or lack of it. Be sure you're going to get your acne laser
surgery from a trained and experienced doctor. There have been
reports of cosmetologists giving an acne light treatment without
the proper training. Laser surgery is not the place to try and
save money. You will get the best chance for success with an
experienced dermatologists doing the work.
3. The cost Acne laser surgery is in a mid-point between
cosmetics and health care. Some health insurance policies may
cover it, some may not. Most insurance companies pay for acne
laser surgery only in most extreme cases. Whatever you might
think about the severity of your acne, it is wise to make sure
that you insurance company agrees with you. Otherwise you may
find laser surgery costing more than you planned.
4. Preparations Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that
you have to seriously prepare for the treatment. In some cases
laser surgery is serious enough that you must spend a few days
in a bed after the procedure. Can you afford to be away from
work for those days... and will you employer agree to your
absence?
If course you should consider laser surgery if your acne is
severe and has not responded to other treatment. Just don't rush
in to it without careful thought and preparation.
