What is Acne Laser?

Acne laser treatment uses lasers and energy devices to target the causes of acne: excess oil, acne bacteria and inflammation. Options include gold PTT, laser toning, vascular lasers for redness and LED therapy. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, a dermatologist chooses the device for your acne type and often combines it with medical skincare or extractions.
