A member asked:

Is it a good idea to get laser treatment for removal of black heads and pimple marks?

Specializes in Aesthetic Medicine

It depends: Not all lasers are capable of helping this. the blackheads are from your duct getting clogged with sebum that oxidizes to a black color. There is a spectra laser that will help both black heads and acne lesions.
