Non-ablative (no removal of body tissue) laser treatment is a technique for treating acne lesions on the face, chest, neck and back. Non-ablative lasers are designed to penetrate into the lower layers of the skin without injuring the outer layers.

A topical anesthetic may be applied prior to treatment to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Photographs of the treatment area may be taken for your medical chart and future comparison. Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve complete satisfaction. Short-term redness and/or swelling can be expected.

Expected benefits of this treatment include the reduction of acne lesions and a reduction in the severity of lesions.
