Question 1:

Why is laser treatments often more effective than other acne treatments?

Answer 1:

Laser treatments have proven successful when other acne treatments have failed. There is no need to take toxic medications. In addition, laser treatments can not only treat acne but also improve the scars caused by acne.

Question 2:

Why are laser treatments better than other types of skin rejuvenation treatments?

Answer 2:

Because they are less invasive than other types of treatments. For younger patients that do not need plastic surgery, laser surgery is easier, less painful, and there is no "down time."

For patients who cannot have plastic surgery for medical or other reasons, laser treatments are ideal because they do not require general anesthesia and patients can immediately return to work or daily schedules.

Oftentimes, laser surgery will be used to augment plastic surgery to remove the effects of photo damage such as red and brown spots.
