Laser Genesis Caused Me to Breakout?

October 27, 2012
Asked By:brenstu1512 in Charlotte, NC

Doctors, Thanks in advance for your help. Has Laser Genesis ever caused breakouts after the initial treatment? The procedure was recommended to me for facial redness. I was also told the heat from the laser would kill bacteria under the skin. However, 1-2 days after my first treatment, it seems like all acne in the lower layers of my skin is coming to the surface. Is this normal? Is there a way to mitigate this problem for future treatments?

Sheryl D. Clark, MD, FAAD says:

Dear 142683anon:Yes, hairs with any pigmention will absorb some of the 1064 laser energy. For this reason the brows must be protected during treatment. The bearded area of men is avoided.  Our patients with excess hair of the face or even just peach fuzz love this, as it leaves their facial ...
