Neo Skin Rejuvenation Acne Treatment
Mr Olivier Amar - Leading Plastic Surgeon in Chelsea, London
Aerolase Neo Laser treatment for acne and acne scarring. This treatment targets multiple acne factors, addressing active breakouts while targeting root causes.
What is Aerolase Neo Laser acne treatment?
Aerolase laser treatment for acne and acne scarring, also known as NeoClear, offers a revolutionary approach to treating acne conditions. This advanced laser device uses unique 650-microsecond technology to deliver powerful energy that effectively targets acne causing bacteria while being gentle on the skin. The result is quick, visible improvements with minimal side effects.
Aerolase Neo laser technology works through multiple mechanisms to address both active acne breakouts and the underlying causes:
- Eliminates acne causing bacteria: The laser light targets P. acnes bacteria by exciting bacterial porphyrins, producing singlet oxygen that destroys the bacteria.
- Reduces sebum production: High power, deep heating laser energy shrinks sebaceous glands and suppresses sebum output, helping prevent future breakouts.
- Decreases inflammation: The laser coagulates blood capillaries in inflamed lesions, blocking inflammatory responses and reducing redness, swelling and pain.
- Promotes collagen remodelling: Water based laser energy absorption in the deeper dermis stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of acne scars.
- Unclogs pores: The treatment helps clear blocked pores caused by excess sebum and dead skin cell accumulation.
Aerolase Neo laser technology represents the latest advancement in non-invasive acne treatment.
Your consultation
Whether meeting in person or remotely, your consultation with Mr Olivier Amar provides a comprehensive discussion of your hoped for goals and treatment options. To get the most out of your consultation, we recommend reviewing information about your area of interest beforehand.

Safe for all skin types
The Aerolase Neo laser can treat all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker complexions. Its precision technology prevents hyperpigmentation and complications while ensuring optimal results for all skin types, dark and melanin rich skin and sensitive skin conditions.
Risks associated with treatment
Every non-surgical treatment, while performed with the utmost care and expertise, carries inherent risks. Mr Olivier Amar ensures all patients are fully informed about potential complications before proceeding with any treatment.
General treatment side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising and minor discomfort. During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will provide detailed information about procedure specific risks, explain preventive measures and safety protocols, answer all questions about potential complications and provide you with all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Aim to arrive to your appointment with your skin as best prepared for your laser treatment as it can be. Pre-treatment guidelines would ideally include:
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure and tanning 7 days before treatment
- Discontinue Retinol and other active skincare products 48 hours prior
- Stop using products containing acids or benzoyl peroxide
- Avoid alcohol 2-3 days before treatment
- Get adequate rest the night before
- Eat a light meal and stay hydrated
- Clean skin thoroughly before treatment
- If you are taking photo-sensitising medication, such as Accutane, you should consult your Dermatologist prior to treatment
For larger treatment areas or treatment for pigmented lesions, we recommend applying numbing cream to the area 1 hour prior to treatment. Emla 5% numbing cream is available to buy from any pharmacy without a prescription.
Recovery Guide
Immediately after treatment you may experience mild redness for a few hours. No downtime is required and you can resume normal activities immediately. As with all laser treatments, you should avoid direct sun exposure until redness subsides, continue using SPF 50+ protection and follow our recommended skincare routine.
Maintaining your results
Everyone’s skin is unique and therefore reacts differently to treatment. Some patients will notice immediate results, while others may see gradual results that appear over time.
Typically, most patients see noticeable results after 4-6 treatments with enhanced clearance and quality of skin occurring after each subsequent treatment. You may need maintenance sessions to keep ongoing skin conditions under control. Long term management, it is important to understand that acne is a chronic condition and the treatment focuses on control rather than cure. We should be aware that future recurrence is a distinct possibility.
An important step in maintaining healthy and clear skin is to create a consistent treatment routine. It is also recommended that you commit to wearing sun protection daily and follow an at home skincare regimen.
