How Long Does Aerolase Take?

The duration of an Aerolase treatment session varies depending on the area being treated and the specific concern. Sessions are generally efficient and can last anywhere from a few minutes to around 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the treatment.

Is Aerolase Painful?

Aerolase treatments are known for their comfort and minimal discomfort. The laser technology is designed to target specific areas with precision while minimizing heat exposure to the surrounding skin. Patients often report a mild sensation during the procedure, similar to the snapping of a rubber band against the skin. The sensation is well-tolerated, and many patients do not require any anesthesia or numbing creams.

How Can I Prepare for Aerolase?

To ensure optimal results and a comfortable treatment experience, consider the following preparation steps:

  • Consultation: Schedule a consultation with Dr. Henry to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history.
  • Sun Protection: Protect your skin from sun exposure before the treatment, as sunburned or tanned skin can affect the procedure's effectiveness and safety.
  • Avoid Skin Products: Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants or retinoids, for a few days prior to the treatment.
  • Discuss Medications: Inform Dr. Henry about any medications, supplements, or medical conditions you have to ensure there are no contraindications.
  • Stay Hydrated: Keep your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water leading up to your treatment.
