Acne suppurativa is one of the varieties of acne vulgaris, characterised by purulent lesions on the skin of the face or other parts of the body. It is difficult to treat due to the severity of the inflammation. The most common form treatment of acne suppurativa is pharmacological treatment, including the use of isotretinoin treatment. The treatment lasts many months and places a heavy burden on the body, especially the liver. Moreover, purulent acne leaves behind scarring, which is another problem once the acne is cured. How to get rid of the acne problem by other methods?
Treatment of purulent acne with laser therapy
Aesthetic medicine is in most cases an alternative to traditional treatments for skin problems. In the case of acne, it is no different. Laser therapy is an excellent solution for people who struggle with suppurative acne. The best choice is offered by a clinic that operates the Fotona Dynamis Sp Pro device. The Fotona is the best laser platform available on the medical market. It is used for skin tissue reduction, rejuvenation and also for the treatment of skin diseases.
Results of treatment for purulent acne
Acne treatment with the Fotona device is a guarantee of clear skin. The laser eliminates existing inflammation and, at the same time, destroys bacterial clusters in the sebaceous gland outlets. As a result, acne lesions heal very quickly and do not leave behind any scars. The laser method clears the complexion of acne and its different variants, such as purulent acne. In addition, it evens out the skin tone and brightens the skin, giving it a fresh and healthy appearance.
What does the treatment for suppurative acne look like?
After preparing the skin for the treatment, the doctor activates the laser. The Fotona device uses the function of selective photothermolysis, i.e. the selective absorption of laser energy by the skin at the site of chromophores - energy recipients. In acne infections, the blood supply to the affected areas is increased, so stronger vascularisation absorbs the laser energy. The precisely selected power and beam of the Foton laser penetrates to the appropriate skin depth and heats up the tissues. This causes thermal and selective damage to the sebaceous glands, destroying acne-causing bacteria and reducing sebum production.
