— Common Questions
Good questions. Simple answers.
If you don't see your question here, our team is happy to answer it during your free consultation.
Is the treatment safe for darker skin tones?
The Aerolase Neo is FDA-cleared for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI), including melanin-rich skin. Its short 650-microsecond pulse is designed to minimize the heat-related side effects that can be a concern with some traditional treatments. Any treatment risks specific to your skin will be reviewed during your complimentary consultation.
Can warts come back after treatment?
Yes. Warts are virus-driven and some clients are more prone to recurrence. New warts can also develop in new locations. Maintenance is usually about addressing new warts.
Is laser more effective than freezing or other treatments?
Different approaches have different evidence and considerations. Laser is one option among several — sometimes preferred for warts that haven't responded to other approaches.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a series of brief, warm pulses. The treatment is contactless and doesn't typically require numbing, though sensitivity varies. If you have particularly sensitive skin, let your provider know during the consultation and they'll adjust the protocol.
Can plantar warts (on the feet) be treated?
Yes, though plantar warts are often deeper and may require additional sessions. Your consultation will assess what's appropriate.
Is there any downtime?
Most clients return to their day right after a session. You may see brief redness or warmth in the treated area for a few hours. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided based on your treatment.
