Why is laser better than other acne treatments?
Acne treatment protocols are improving every year. And they attach special importance to laser skin care, which has many advantages over other salon and home methods of dealing with acne.
The laser does not leave scars and stagnant spots on the skin
Everyone knows that it is difficult to get rid of post-acne: at home, whitening masks and weak acid peels are most often used for this. Let's first try to figure out why they appear at all.
Inflammation is a reaction whose purpose is to destroy the infection. First, there is a spasm of the vessels, then their expansion. The local temperature rises: we see that the inflammation is maturing. After the white blood cells destroy the infection, the process of tissue repair begins. But if the microcirculation in the area of inflammation is disturbed – for example, because you tried to squeeze a pimple on your own, then post-acne appears as an accumulation of dilated capillaries.
Given this, it becomes clear that the cause of scars and stagnant spots can be not only attempts to get rid of inflammation on their own, but also mechanical cleaning of the face. Diode laser acne treatment using MeDioStar NeXT PRO and MeDioStar Monolith devices does not have a traumatic effect on the skin and inhibits the growth of the number of microorganisms that provoke inflammation.
Laser does not cause acne breakouts
One of the most popular acne treatments is daily scrubs. They are advised to use twice a day: it is believed that a miracle effect can be achieved with the help of salicylic acid, zinc and other useful ingredients in the composition. No matter how effective it is, this method of treating and preventing inflammation cannot be called a worker. Firstly, scrubbing particles (their role is played by plastic granules, raspberry pits or ground apricot pits) spread the infection throughout the face. Secondly, regular aggressive exfoliation destroys the skin's protective barrier and increases the production of sebum. The pores become clogged again – and the number of inflammations increases, not decreases. You achieve the opposite effect: by planning to reduce the severity of acne, you only make the rashes more noticeable.
The laser also provides exfoliation, but it does it very delicately. It does not damage the skin and does not require any recovery period. If after a session of laser acne treatment a slight redness occurs, then after half an hour or an hour there is not a trace left through it.
The laser does not deprive you of the freedom to choose cosmetics
According to statistics, up to 80% of the world's population under the age of 25 regularly faces acne. But this does not mean that after reaching this age, inflammation disappears somewhere. 30-40% of people over the age of 25 continue to experience acne flare-ups. And if, over time, you introduce anti-age cosmetics into your daily beauty routine, then there may be a problem of conflict between the active components of anti-acne products and for the prevention of the appearance of age-related changes. For example, if you try to combine niacinamide to fight acne marks and retinol (although it also helps in treating acne), then the effect of using the first one will be negated. This is due to the fact that niacinamide does not work in an acidic environment.
Diode lasers MeDioStar NeXT PRO and MeDioStar Monolith made in Germany have no such restrictions. In the Epilas cosmetology centers, they will provide you with acne treatment, which can be combined with any other procedures and the use of your favorite cosmetics. Moreover, the diode laser itself works great as a wrinkle prevention tool: it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and the course application of the procedures gives an increasing effect: the skin tone is evened out and small creases become less noticeable.
