Aerolase NeoClear, medical-grade peels, and microneedling protocols that calm inflamed acne — without the long-term hit of accutane or oral antibiotics.
How we treat active acne at Bar Beauty
Active acne — inflamed papules, pustules, cysts — responds well to in-office laser, peels, and topical protocols when stacked properly. Our standard active-acne protocol pairs Aerolase NeoClear laser sessions every 2 to 3 weeks with medical-grade chemical peels and a cleaned-up at-home routine using SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective and NOON aesthetics’ AcNo Complex. Most patients see meaningful clearing within 4 to 6 weeks.
Aerolase NeoClear mechanics
NeoClear is a 1064nm laser pulse that targets P. acnes bacteria, calms inflammation in the sebaceous glands, and reduces oil overproduction. Three to six sessions get most cases of inflamed acne under control. Safe across all skin tones — no PIH risk like with some other acne lasers.
Medical-grade peels for acne
Salicylic acid peels (20% to 30%) clear pores, reduce sebum, and brighten post-acne marks. We layer them between Aerolase sessions. For patients with a lot of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, we add a NOON Aesthetics peel from our NOON line that combines acid blends with anti-inflammatory complexes.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell you a 12-month accutane prescription on day one. We’re not a dermatology practice — we’re a medical aesthetics clinic. If your acne is severe nodulocystic, scarring, or hormonal in a way that needs systemic treatment, we’ll refer you to a dermatologist. For everything else (mild to moderate inflammatory acne, hormonal flares, post-pill rebound), we have effective in-office options.
Acne scarring after the active phase
Once active acne is controlled, we move to scar work — microneedling with exosomes for boxcar and rolling scars, Morpheus 8 RF for ice-pick scarring, and Aerolase tone work for post-inflammatory marks. Plan on 4 to 6 sessions for visible scar improvement.
