I have cystic acne. If I get laser treatment for them will it prevent full blown acne from my skin permanently?

Never had acne in my life but after I gave birth I started to get cystic acne all over my cheeks . Topical medication is not working . Now I also have acne scars. Does laser give permanent results from acne all over face ? Will acne come back other parts of face ?
