With the laser treatment, the operation of sebaceous glands producing sebum is retarded. Sebum is oily substance that leads to acne formation.

Acne damages the skin. The bacteria and oil cause damage to the pores, skin, and underlying tissue. In response, the body sends white blood cells and other treatment molecules called collagen to the area in an attempt to heal the damaged tissues. Most acne scars only affect the outer layers of skin. Depending on how much collagen one’s body produces affects the scar type, if the scars are depressed the body does not produce enough collagen, if the scars are raised the body produced too much collagen (American Association of Dermatology 2011).

We drove all the way down to New Jersey. We usually reserve NY/NJ trips for Korean grocery shopping and long weekends. It was a perfectly nice March day out—brisk, but sunny, with just enough warmth for a light jacket. This was my dad’s idea. I was pretty against the whole thing, but I decided to give it a try; it wouldn’t hurt to try, would it? Ever since I was young I have had scars on my face from a severe case of chicken pox. The doctors worried that my face would be scarred much worse than it is. They gave my parents two options—sand my skin down to create smooth skin which could potentially cause worse scars and redness in cold temperatures, or do nothing and hope that the scars would disappear over time. My parents, hoping for the best, went with the latter choice.

Bowe and Alan C. Logan briefly skimmed the effect of acne on an individual’s physiological state. Treatment of severe acne with Isotretinoin was monitored in anticipation of lowered depressive symptoms (Bowe 2011). According to the Guideline of care for the management of acne vulgaris, compiled by Andrea L. Zaenglein (co-Chair) and respective authors, complementary therapies and approaches include chemical peels and light activated laser treatments: potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and photodynamic (PDT). As per the guidelines, the PDT process begins with the application of aminolevulinic acid to the site containing acne for time periods ranging from 15 minutes to three hours. The aminolevulinic acid is then taken into the pilosebaceous duct by sebocytes and activated to manufacture oxygen (Zaenglein 2016). P. acne is an anaerobic bacteria, meaning that it does not contain the necessary enzymes needed to break down oxygen. Forced exposure to oxygen will damage and kill the
