Your Questions About Laser Treatment For Acne

Susan asks…

After having laser hair removal and acne laser treatment, when is it safe to tan again?

I have a laser hair removal appointment tomorrow and 2 final acne laser treatments (dermalaser) next week. I need to tan for a role, will the week after next be okay to tan again?

rob answers:

They say you are supposed to wait 6 weeks. Try a spray tan rather than actual tanning.

Is $1,200 for laser acne treatments just one procedure or thats the total for every thing ?

I wanted to get a laser treatment for my acne but i want to know is $1,200 for one treatment or is that the total to get everything done ? Please can someone help me because if its just for one treatment then I’m not getting it. But if its the total after all treatments are done then i might consider to go in and get it done. Thanks ! ! !

rob answers:

Depends on where you live, what place you go to, and what part of the body you want it done.

Cheeks = $275 – $1200
Chin = $200 – $800
Forehead = $250 – $1100
Lower Face = $300 – $1500
Full Face = $350 – $1800
Neck = $300 – $1500
Upper Back = $450 – $2300

3 – 4 treatments are recommended to get maximum results you want. These are usually performed every 3 or 4 weeks. You should notice a gradual reduction in the number and severity of acne within or over 3 weeks. Also, improvement will last between 6 months – 1 year.

Thomas asks…

Does insurance cover acne laser treatment?

My insurance I found it covers for my little sister in laser treatment for her Vitiligo. She doesn’t have to pay. Anyway I was wondering if that covers it will it cover some or most of acne laser treatment? I had acne since middle school now in college i have scars I just receive treatment for acne. But I’m pretty sure I’m going to need some more for the scars and i forgot what else they told me for discoloration. I’m just wondering. If not I know I can pay for it but not at the moment.

rob answers:

Read the policy notes. It will tell you what the insurance covers.

All we could do is guess since we don’t know the details of your policy.
