The skin pores contain sebum-producing glands called sebaceous glands, and the production of these sebums is important for the skin, but when these pores become clogged by these fats, dead cells, and bacteria that are naturally present on the skin, it leads to the appearance of acne, and the walls are often exposed. These pores become damaged, allowing bacteria and dead cells to penetrate beneath the skin, thus producing inflammation that leads to the appearance of pimples and redness.

How the laser device works

There are several types of laser devices that are used to treat acne, and they are used on various parts of the skin. Acne appears on the face, neck, back, and chest, but it generally works in two ways:

• Some acne is caused by bacteria that live on the skin. When these bacteria get stuck in the hair follicles without the presence of oxygen, they cause inflammation. Laser devices work to introduce oxygen into the pores of the skin, which leads to the destruction of these bacteria. This is the second method. What laser devices work with.
