Dr. Darm, Acne and Acne scarring




Dr. Darm talks about treating acne and acne scarring using laser treatments at Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, OR.

Are you having trouble with acne or acne scarring?

You know there are so many people out there dealing with acne as adults, not just teenagers. Ninety percent of kids and somewhere in range of 20-30 of adults have acne.

Any kind of acne can be treated. From black heads to cystic acne so it all responds to the laser treatments. The lasers kill the bacteria, they repair the skin, they reduce the pore sizes.

Looking at the before and after.
This is a terrific case of a cystic acne that cleared up beautifully with the laser treatments and you can see that this was resistant to other therapy like the accutane and antibiotics.

Here are some acne scarring that can be treated as well. These are very disfiguring and a lot of people have significant emotional trauma from their acne. This is a case of a 30 year old girl who had some acne and it bother her forever and also she had the scarring as well. You could see here on her forehead that not only did her acne improved but her scarring improved as well. It's a nice treatment because it's not the antibiotic and it's not the accutane and not some systemic treatment, it's just a topical treatment and it is very safe, little or now downtime or pain with this procedure.

Normally we would do 6 treatments and generally speaking it can get about 50% improvement on the scars.

Patients can come back to get better but the acne scar treatments are fairly permanent, in other words, they are long lasting. The acne treatments they may have to come back for maintenance treatments and sometimes we may have to use other things adjunctively like the antibiotics.

It's about 45-minute treatment and you walk out without having anything and no one would know that you are undergoing these treatments.
