This may mean peeling and reddening of the skin but you are assured of a more youthful and newer layer of skin once the procedure is done. Persons who have used this treatment say that the unevenness of the skin and even the discoloration is noticeably lesser. 2. Diode Lasers – This type of laser treatment works by reducing the ability of the skin to produce sebum, the natural oil produced by the skin. The sebaceous glands (some of it) are destroyed thereby reducing the production of oils that may come in contact with bacteria that in turn may produce acne. Just like High-Intensity Lasers they may also lessen discolorations and unevenness of the skin. Acne battle is a never ending battle. The best (and cheapest) way to do this is through the right diet, exercise, and right lifestyle. If you are getting too much acne it may be a reflection of your lifestyle which you may need to tweak it a bit. In this case expensive Acne Laser Treatment may not be an option.
