Ask About Acne Laser Treatments

If you are considering acne laser treatments to address acne or the resulting scars, you'll feel much more comfortable with the process the more information you have about it. Most reputable physicians, like Dr. Keith Thomae at Metroeast Cosmetic Specialty, are more than happy to entertain your questions about acne laser surgery so you can feel more at ease with the process.

Ask your doctor for recommendations for topical remedies, oral medications and other options recommended to treat the underlying condition. Don't be afraid to ask the surgeon how much and what type of experience he has with acne laser treatments and about his success rates with laser and other scar treatments. Ask as many specifics about the procedure itself as you feel necessary.

Acne Laser Surgery at Metroeast Cosmetic

Before you are scheduled for acne laser surgery, your cosmetic surgeon will likely asses the types of scars you have. This assessment is important, because the type of scars you have may affect your physician's approach to acne laser surgery. Types of scars include:

• Ice pick: narrow but deep scar that looks similar to an ice pick puncture
• Boxcar: similar to and ice pick scar but wider
• Hypertrophic: raised scar that is firmer than surrounding tissues
• Keloid: tough scar that can grow beyond the original wound site over time
• Rolling scars: undulating appearance compared to unaffected skin

With proper acne laser treatment according to scar type, and in conjunction with treatment of the underlying condition, the appearance of scars can be greatly reduced or even eliminated. Contact Metroeast Cosmetic Specialty to discuss your options with our staff.
