In this study, 35 patients with mild-moderate acne were treated, after comedone extraction, with the Vbeam 595 nm pulsed dye laser to one randomly assigned side of the face. At weeks 2 and 4 after treatment, both the Erythema index (EI) – redness after extraction - and the total acne lesion counts (TALC) were significantly reduced on the treated side compared to the control (untreated) side of the face. No complications were noted with high participant satisfaction reported.
