What to expect Active Acne
Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunburns for at least two weeks before your treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily.
Accutane (isotretinoin): Discontinue use of Accutane (isotretinoin) for at least six months before considering laser treatment, as it can increase skin sensitivity.
Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed thoroughly before the treatment begins.
Comfort Measures: You will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. Depending on the specific procedure, a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Duration: Each session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and severity of the treated area.
Immediate Aftercare: You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. You may apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel if needed.
Sun Protection: Continue to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum, physical sunscreen with titanium or zinc oxide with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin as it heals for at least 7-14 days. Wear a wide-brimmed hat whenever outside and exposed to sun.
Medications: Continue any prescribed acne medications or skincare products as recommended by your provider.
Gentle Skin Care: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation. Use gentle skincare products and avoid exfoliants and retinoids for a few days.
