However, the researchers noted that the results they obtained - not a reason to abandon laser pulse therapy as such, but an indication of the need for in-depth studies on this issue. This also proves the need for a detailed study of the interaction of even well-known methods of treating acne with laser pulse therapy, doctors say.

Executive Director of the British public organization The Acne Support Group Alison Dudley also believes that more research is needed,. "We will advise our patients and their families to carefully weigh the pros and cons before agreeing to such treatment," Dudley emphasizes..

Radiation of the laser destroys the porphyrin, located in the bacterial cells, the resulting oxygen causes the death of the microorganism. In addition, laser light stimulates the growth of collagen, which prevents the formation of gross scars.
