FAQ

How many acne treatments will I need?

The number of treatments you need will depend on several factors, including your lifestyle and the severity of your condition. You may need a series of four to six treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. After the acne is controlled, touch-up treatments may be needed to clear up future breakouts. This treatment can be performed whenever acne breakouts occur.

Are anesthesia or cooling gels needed for Aerolase laser acne treatment?

This procedure is not performed with topical anesthetics or cooling gels, as it is uniquely pain-free. Patients experience a mild sensation of heat during treatment.

How does the treatment work for acne scars?

Aerolase laser light heats water within the skin’s deeper layer (dermis), stimulating the regrowth of collagen and elastin. This gradually helps fill in and smooth out cratering and pockmarks caused by acne.

Can I apply makeup after acne treatment?

You can safely apply makeup immediately after Aerolase laser acne treatment. Acne medication and skincare products can also be used right away.

How soon will I see results with Aerolase laser acne treatment?

Although the laser kills acne-causing bacteria right away, it can take several weeks to see a noticeable improvement in the skin. You may need a series of four to six treatment sessions, plus touch up treatments for any future breakouts. We can help you establish a home skincare regime to help prevent breakouts and enhance and maintain your results.
