For a clear complexion and improved well-being
Dr. Duve berät Sie zur Behandlung Ihrer Aknenarben
Many young people with acne problems, and increasingly also grown women and men, dream about having clear, balanced facial skin. However, there are numerous factors that make this wish difficult to fulfil. An unhealthy diet or use of wrong cosmetics can quickly lead to skin blemishes. Pimples and redness are not uncommon. If it is traditional acne, however, genetic aspects also play a role. In many cases, the skin disease is so severe that affected people suffer from severe psychological strain. Moreover, there are often unsightly acne scars. Therefore, in order to avoid negative effects on the skin and the psyche, it is important to treat severe acne quickly and effectively, especially in cases of genetic predisposition. – –

What is laser treatment and how does it work for acne?
A laser treatment describes the use of a laser in a cosmetic or medical setting to relieve various conditions and diseases. It involves bundled, high-energy light beams. Lasers are frequently used in the dermatological field. Acne and acne scars are among the typical application areas. There are different types of lasers. For example, fractional laser treatment is a very effective method for acne (scars).
It is based on ‘wounding’: microscopically small injuries are caused in the second skin layer by the laser beam, without the outer skin having to be completely ‘burned’ as was the case in the past. This process is intended to activate the self-healing powers. Increased collagen and elastin formation occurs in the damaged areas. These skin-tightening proteins can significantly reduce existing scars. The laser beams also help with active acne. Blemishes in the upper layers of the skin are removed. Furthermore, the focused light serves to fight bacteria. Another advantage: New acne attacks can be prevented by the laser treatment. – –

What should be considered before the treatment?
What you should know if you suffer from acne: acne and acne scars can usually not be removed in a single session. The more laser treatments are conducted, the better the results. Depending on the severity, several follow-up treatments may also be recommended. The laser treatment can only be carried out if the skin does not have any acute inflammation. We discuss the exact treatment plan with each patient individually. In most cases, you will receive special skincare in advance to prepare the skin for the upcoming laser treatments. –

What should I consider after the treatment?
Immediately before the laser treatment, an anaesthetic cream is applied or the skin is locally anaesthetised. The anaesthetic is applied for a few minutes, after which the treatment can begin almost painlessly. At most, you will feel a slight burning sensation. Depending on the area of skin, a laser session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. The affected skin areas are treated selectively with the laser. The application is extremely gentle and well tolerated. It is possible to work with pinpoint accuracy so that the areas right next to the locations to be treated remain untouched. –

When will the result be visible?
A first result is usually visible after a few days. For acne scars, results can be seen after about ten days, but the depth of the scars is reduced even further over the next three months. It can take half a year before the skin becomes even thanks to the formation of new collagen. –
