There are a variety of lasers used for acne treatments; there is no one specific system that works for everyone. Some help by decreasing the bacteria that cause acne. Other lasers used for acne work by shrinking the oil glands that also play a role in causing acne. Some physicians will combine these two different lasers together. It is best to discuss this with your laser dermatologist to discover the best approach to use.
