Aerolase’s laser energy penetrates deeply into the skin and heats up sebaceous glands. The heat within the dermis reduces sebum output, reduces inflammation, and destroys Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes)) bacteria. As a result, you will see a significant reduction in acne as well as reduced skin redness, reduced pore size, and an overall improvement in skin texture.

Aerolase is a virtually painless treatment. There is a warm sensation over the areas being treated with the laser. There is no numbing required with the treatment.

After the skin is cleaned and sterilized, the laser energy is applied to the targeted areas. Depending on the size of the area(s) treated, treatment time may vary between 10-20 minutes.

Optimal clinical results require multiple (4-8) treatment sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart.  However, each patient’s individual skin care needs may vary, so we ask you to have an initial consultation prior to undergoing treatment.

Due to the nature of the treatment, there is no significant downtime associated with the treatment and you can resume normal activities following the treatment.

Many patients see results immediately after one treatment and further improvement following subsequent treatments.

We ask you to apply SPF immediately following treatment to keep their skin protected and refrain from using any topical retinoids or strong chemical acid peels for the next 4-5 days.

Patients who are experiencing whiteheads/blackheads, pimples, and acne cysts are excellent candidates for the Aerolase treatment. This includes patients who have marked resistance to topicals and oral drugs for acne clearance. Due to the minimal-to-no downtime associated with the treatment, Aerolase is a quick and effective targeted laser treatment for patients who are looking to treat specific skin concerns with no downtime.
