Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Aerolase® Complete Trifecta (Laser/Channel/Peel).

Most clients undergo a series of 3–6 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on skin condition, goals, and response. Our clinicians customize the plan during consultation and may recommend maintenance sessions every 3–6 months for sustained results.

Downtime is typically minimal: expect redness and mild swelling for 24–72 hours, with light peeling after the peel. Most people return to normal activities within a day, but avoid direct sun and follow post-care instructions for optimal healing.

Treatments are well tolerated. Aerolase delivers brief heat pulses, microchanneling feels like pinpricks, and the peel may tingle. We use topical numbing and cooling; most clients report manageable discomfort and immediate calming measures to keep comfort high.

You may notice immediate brightness and texture smoothing, while collagen remodeling continues for weeks. Most clients see progressive improvement over three months, with optimal results after a planned series of treatments and maintenance.

Yes — Aerolase is designed for safer treatment of darker skin when used by trained providers. We tailor settings, perform patch testing when necessary, and sequence the peel and microchanneling to minimize hyperpigmentation risk.

Avoid retinoids, aggressive exfoliation, and prolonged sun exposure for at least one week before treatment. Disclose medications and recent procedures at consultation. Arrive with clean skin; our team will review expectations, consent, and pre-treatment skincare to ensure safety.
