Get Rid of Acne

Laser treatment can reduce inflammatory facial acne lesions with few side effects, new research shows. Moreover, it appears to work even with the darkest skin types.

The findings, which appear in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, are based on a study of 22 patients, with light to dark skin types, who underwent three treatments with the laser?specifically a1450-nanometer diode laser?at 3 to 4 week intervals.

The subjects received treatment at high or low doses on the left or the right side of the face, the report indicates.
