Not really: The aesthera laser pulls the skin tight then supposedly with withdraws oil from the follicles but no laser cures acne.

No cure: some lasers can control acne reduce present lesions by opening pores, removing cellular debris and possibly killing the P acne bacteria. Recently carbon peels with q switched yag lasers are promising. That is what I do however I still have patients take the standard therapy. Benzoyl peroxide, anitibiotic either lotion or pill possibly a retin-a prep that is not destroyed by the benzoyl peroxide.
