With Antibiotics Becoming Less Effective, Cosmetic Lasers Present a New Solution for Acne Sufferers
Fighting acne with antibiotics may not be the right fight anymore. Dr. Bowe, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology in NY, stated bacteria-causing acne is becoming more resistant to these antibiotics. Acne is the biggest skin concern in the United States, but medical professionals fear that if these antibiotics are continued to use to fight acne without results, they will also cause resistance for other antibiotics that are used to fight infections when ill. Instead of continuing to rely on ineffective drugs, the advancement of skincare technology has presented it’s own solution: cosmetic lasers for acne.
One cosmetic laser treatment that has been successful with acne sufferers is BBL™ (Broadband Light) therapy. BBL™ laser treatments use light and energy directed at acne on the surface layers of the skin. It also used a unique “blue light effect” that destroys acne-causing bacteria, eliminating acne and acne scars in the process. Other laser treatments, like fractional laser and IPL photofacials, are also good for helping to eliminate acne scarring.
Cosmetic lasers have come a long way in the last decade. They can do everything from eliminate wrinkles, shrink pores, reverse sun damage, rid scarring, and create a rejuvenated, more youthful complexion. Let’s also not forget laser hair removal, which was listed as one of top nonsurgical cosmetic treatments of 2013 (ASAPS).
