How effective is laser acne (acne) treatment?

One of the main reasons for the formation of inflammatory acne is P. acnes bacteria, which normally lives on the skin and is found in the oil channels. The P. acnes bacterium is destroyed by absorbing the energy of the lasers. Light and laser systems prevent the formation of acne by reducing the number of bacteria.
