Yes, but we’ll want to take a close look at what you’re currently using. Some prescriptions, especially those that cause photosensitivity or thinning of the skin, may need to be paused before laser treatment.
During your consultation, we’ll go over your full skincare routine and medications to make sure everything works together safely and effectively. In many cases, Aerolase allows clients to reduce or eventually eliminate stronger medications over time.
There’s no specific age where laser acne therapy is more or less ideal as a treatment option. We see teens dealing with hormonal breakouts, adults struggling with persistent or late-onset acne, and everything in between. If acne is affecting your confidence, comfort, or lifestyle, it’s a great time to start. Aerolase is gentle enough for younger skin but powerful enough to address long-term or more complex acne patterns.
Unlike some treatments that cause purging, Aerolase doesn’t typically bring everything to the surface at once. Because it targets inflammation and bacteria at the source, most clients notice a calming effect quickly, even after their first session. That said, your skin may still go through a rebalancing phase, especially if you’re transitioning from harsh topicals. We’ll walk you through what to expect based on your skin type.
While chemical peels and extractions can be helpful, they’re often more surface-level and can sometimes cause irritation or downtime. Aerolase works deeper in the skin, targeting the underlying causes of acne like bacteria, inflammation, and oil production. It’s a more comfortable and comprehensive option, especially for those who want visible results without harsh side effects.
Yes—this is actually one of the reasons so many of our clients love Aerolase. While it’s highly effective for treating acne, it also stimulates collagen production and improves overall skin tone and texture. That means you can target breakouts and reduce the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation, or dullness in the same session. It’s a great option for adult acne or anyone looking for clearer, smoother, more radiant skin across the board.
Who’s a Good Fit for Acne Laser Treatment?
Whether you’ve just started breaking out or have been battling acne for years, Aerolase may be the solution your skin’s been waiting for. This treatment is ideal for teens going through hormonal changes, adults experiencing stubborn or late-onset acne, and anyone frustrated with persistent flare-ups that haven’t responded to topicals, peels, or prescriptions.
It’s also a great choice if you have sensitive skin or a deeper complexion and have felt limited by other acne treatments. Aerolase is safe, inclusive, and fully customizable, so we can tailor your sessions to exactly what your skin needs, without ever overdoing it.
