Yes, and in many cases, Aerolase is a gentler and more comfortable option than previous-generation lasers. If you’ve had a bad experience with lasers that caused redness, discomfort, or pigmentation issues, Aerolase may feel like a breath of fresh air. Its unique 650-microsecond technology is designed to treat vascular concerns without overheating or damaging the surface, making it a great choice even for those who’ve had less-than-ideal outcomes in the past.
While Aerolase doesn’t eliminate triggers, it does help minimize your skin’s reactivity to them. By reducing inflammation and vascular sensitivity beneath the surface, many clients notice they flush less severely, even when exposed to things like warm weather, spicy food, or emotional stress. It won’t cure rosacea, but it can significantly reduce how reactive your skin feels day-to-day.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a common rosacea treatment, but Aerolase is gentler and more inclusive. IPL can be effective but may cause discomfort or post-treatment redness, especially in sensitive or darker skin tones. Aerolase uses a different wavelength and delivery system that makes it much better tolerated, with fewer risks and no downtime. It’s also a great choice for treating rosacea in hard-to-treat areas like around the nose and chin.
Yes, many clients dealing with rosacea-related stinging or burning find significant relief with Aerolase. Because the laser calms inflammation and reduces vascular reactivity, it helps take the heat out of your skin—literally.
While everyone’s skin responds a little differently, many people notice their skin feels less tight, less reactive, and much more comfortable even after just a few sessions. It’s a gentle way to help reset your skin’s sensitivity threshold.
Yes, we’ll ask you to avoid active skincare ingredients (retinoids or exfoliating acids) for at least two to three days beforehand. You should also avoid sunburns, heavy alcohol use, and anything that tends to trigger a flare-up, like intense heat or steam rooms. We’ll give you a full pre-treatment checklist so your skin is in the best shape to get great results.
Rosacea Doesn’t Rest, But Your Skin Can
Your results don’t stop when you leave the treatment room. Taking care of rosacea-prone skin at home is key to keeping flare-ups at bay and supporting your skin’s healing process. We recommend a minimalist routine focused on hydration, barrier repair, and SPF. Think gentle cleansers, fragrance-free moisturizers, and daily sun protection.
Additionally, avoid harsh scrubs, strong actives, and overly hot water, and remember—Ciao Bella is always happy to help you build a calming skincare plan that works with your treatment results.
