WHAT IT IS
What is Aerolase laser treatment for acne?
Aerolase laser treatment for acne uses a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser with an ultra-fast 650-microsecond pulse duration to treat active acne at the source. The laser targets sebaceous glands to reduce oil production, destroys acne-causing bacteria in the skin, and reduces the vascular inflammation that drives breakouts - all without downtime, antibiotics, or harsh topical treatments. It is safe for all skin types and skin tones. Aerolase acne treatment is available at Skin Ritual in Newmarket, Auckland, at $400 per session.
WHO IT HELPS
Aerolase for acne effectively treats...
01
ACTIVE BREAKOUTS
Ongoing acne that isn't resolving with topical treatment alone. Aerolase addresses the bacterial and inflammatory drivers that topicals can't reach.
03
OILY + CONGESTED SKIN
Aerolase suppresses sebaceous gland activity, reducing and regulating oil production and the congestion that leads to breakouts.
05
UNRESPONSIVE ACNE
Clients who have tried prescription and over-the-counter topicals without success - laser offers a different mechanism of action that works where topicals have not.
02
CYSTIC + NODULAR ACNE
Deep, painful cysts and nodules driven by sebaceous overactivity and bacterial infection. Laser reaches the depth required to treat these effectively.
04
HORMONAL ACNE
Acne driven by hormonal fluctuations - particularly along the jaw, chin, and lower face. Laser addresses the sebaceous and inflammatory components of this acne.
06
ALL SKIN TONES
Aerolase is safe for all skin tones, including medium to dark skin tones where some other acne laser treatments carry a risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
HOW IT WORKS
The science of Aerolase for acne.
1
Sebaceous gland suppression
The laser targets sebaceous glands in the dermis - the oil-producing glands responsible for the excess sebum that blocks pores and feeds acne bacteria. Reducing sebaceous gland activity decreases oil production and creates a less hospitable environment for breakouts.
2
Bacterial reduction
Aerolase reduces the microbial load on the skin by targeting acne-causing bacteria directly. Destroying bacteria at the source - rather than attempting to manage them at the surface - produces a more meaningful and lasting reduction in breakout frequency.
3
Inflammation reduction
Laser energy is absorbed by haemoglobin in the capillaries surrounding active breakouts - reducing the vascular inflammation that causes redness, swelling, and the painful pressure associated with cystic acne. This has an immediate calming effect on active lesions and reduces the inflammatory response over a course of treatment.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
What you can expect from Aerolase for acne.
Results depend on skin type, and consistency with your prescribed homecare. These are the outcomes most clients experience when they follow the skin therapist guidance.
Fewer breakouts
Bacterial reduction and sebaceous suppression produce a meaningful decrease in breakout frequency over a course of sessions.
Faster healing
Existing breakouts resolve more quickly as inflammation is reduced and the skin's healing environment improves.
Less inflammation
Active lesions become less red, less swollen, and less painful as vascular inflammation is addressed at the source.
Clearer skin tone
As active acne reduces, the overall appearance of the skin improves - less redness, less congestion, more even tone.
Reduced oiliness
Sebaceous gland suppression reduces oil production - skin feels less congested and less prone to blocking.
No downtime
Return to your normal routine immediately after each session. No peeling, no redness, no recovery period.

"My journey started with Skin Ritual back in October 2025 with Tanya. She supported me with so much knowledge and patience during one of the hardest phases of my skin journey. After months of ongoing breakouts from products I thought were helping, my skin began to heal once I started my treatments here slowly. Acne is such a painful and emotional experience, but Skin Ritual made it feel manageable and hopeful again. I highly recommend this place to anyone struggling with their skin"
