Where laser fits in acne care

Laser and light treatments can help reduce oil, calm inflammation and target acne bacteria. They are useful for people who need extra help, or who cannot take some acne medicines.

They are supportive treatments: the foundation of acne care is usually still creams or tablets prescribed by a dermatologist.
