Laser treatment fails for acne sufferers
Treating acne with a laser does not appear to work, researchers who conducted a 40-person study recently said.
Most adolescents and young adults develop acne at some time in their lives, and the red, raised lesions can leave lasting scars.
Lasers, along with medications and light therapy, have previously shown potential as treatments. But because no single cause of acne has been identified ? it may result from the body?s reaction to hormonal changes in adolescence, changes to the layer of skin where hair follicles form, or possibly bacteria ? no treatment has been found to be fully effective.
Researchers at the University of Michigan found that one or two treatments with a laser performed on one side of the faces of 40 acne patients, aged 13 or older, made little difference.
