Acne (acne vulgaris) is one of the most common skin diseases (dermatoses) that occur at the beginning of puberty, but sometimes also in adulthood.
Acne is usually mild. In 40% of cases, however, the course of the disease can become chronic, with a wave-like appearance and severe inflammatory symptoms that lead to the formation of scars. There are various degrees of severity, acute and chronic courses and numerous subtypes of acne.
Those affected suffer a great deal, which can have both psychological and social effects, especially if previous treatments have been unsuccessful and “nothing seems to help”.
Treatment for acne is offered in our practices in Baden-Baden and Stuttgart.

How long does the result last?
This is very dependent on the individual, the lifestyle and the person who commits to the process, which is why no general statements can be made. We advise, monitor and adapt the treatment so that you can expect significant improvements with a little patience and dedication.
Side effects
Treatment with the IPL laser and Scarlet RF therapy is not expected to have any serious side effects. Slight swelling, redness and crusting may occur. Treatment with the CO2 laser is also a safe procedure when used correctly, although it can lead to longer downtimes than the aforementioned treatments. A detailed consultation is required to check whether laser therapy can be used in the individual case during pregnancy.
Post-treatment
When undergoing laser treatment, the sauna and frequent sunbathing should be avoided as much as possible at the beginning in order to avoid further irritating the sensitive skin. In addition, special care should be taken of the treated skin areas in the following days.
Pregnant women / nursing mothers
A detailed consultation is required to check whether laser therapy can be used in the individual case during pregnancy.
