First, let’s get to know comedones (clogged pores), which are commonly referred to as clogged acne. These are small bumps that form when the sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands) become blocked, resulting in a buildup of oil in the pores. This type of acne can occur at any age, especially in adolescents. It can appear not only on the face but also on other areas of the body such as the back, chest, and neck. Comedones can either be blackheads or whiteheads, depending on whether the pore is open or closed.
What is acne laser?
It is a laser treatment that uses light waves directed at the skin. The light waves penetrate the skin, creating tiny openings that help to unblock the pores. This allows for easier extraction of clogged comedones, making it more effective in removing blackheads and whiteheads.
Facial care after laser acne treatment
- Apply aloe vera gel to keep the skin moisturized.
- Always apply sunscreen before going out.
- Avoid rubbing the face too harshly.
- Avoid using cosmetics that may trigger acne. If necessary, opt for light makeup.
