Side effects to Isolaz procedure?

Question

I had profractional laser done years ago and now I only get acne on my nose. Also it made herpes arise on my nose if I get to much sun. Can Isolaz help me and what are the side effects?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

isolaz is outdated very few people use it, its "fine" but you need treatments for acne the are more long term. peels at home every 2-3 months, regular weekly dermarolling (see link) and in office facials and lasers like clear and briliant.

All of my accutane/isotretinoin/acne patients do our accutane protocol from emeragecosmetics (where we do free skincare consults daily) and peels like aerify/cosmelan/enlighten.

Acne requires a combination approach to get long term improvement.  For all patients on isotretinoin, we require them to be on skin care such as vitamin C (Skinceuticals Phloretin CF, EmerageSkin AOX-C), glycolic cream (jan Marini bioclear, EmerageSkin enzymatic polish) , kojic acid serums (Skinceuticals phytoplus) and hyaluronic acid serum (IS clinical hydra cool serum, Skinceuticals B5, EmerageSkin hyla B) in the morning and retinols  (reve skin 1.0 and sente biocomplete serum) and salicylic acid (reveskin acne purifying enhancer), growth factors and peptides (anetageMD, EmerageSkin Re-Fit Face/Eye) night.

All of our patients get clear+brilliant non ablative laser along with a microsecond YAG laser such as aerolase or laser genesis and microneedling with PRP or microneelding RF like intensif or fractora monthly to help improve breakouts, speed the healing process, and improve scarring and facial redness while on the isotretinoin/accutane.  LED light therapy, cosmelan/enlighten/AERIFY peels, salt facial or dermalinfusion can be done as well to speed up the improvement. I suggest tyou go to an expert who combines skin care, lasers, microneedling, PRP, and facials while on oral medications for acne.  Best, Dr. Emer.
