Doctors say acne could be cleared up for three months at a time by zapping it with lasers.
They tried a treatment called pulse-dye laser therapy (PDL) treatment on 41 people and it really helped many of them.
It could also help the scarring sometimes left by spots and which can cause people a lot of distress.
At the moment some people take medication to help get rid of their spots if they're really bad.
What to do if you get spots:
Don't squeeze them - it makes things worse
Be patient - they sometimes get better with treatment
Use medicines your doctor gives you
Never be frightened to ask for help
