    What we treat · Clifton, NJ

    Acne & breakouts

    Clearer skin starts with a better plan.

    If breakouts keep coming back, you deserve more than another product to try. Meet with Dr. Patel to explore Aerolase Neo and a practical approach that works with the acne care you already use.

    Understanding acne & breakouts

    Active breakouts, dark marks left behind and textured scars are related but different concerns. Your next step should account for what is happening now, including any acne care you are already receiving.

    Bring your current routine into the conversation

    Tell Dr. Patel about prescriptions, skincare, previous procedures and how your skin responds. Persistent or painful acne may need medical management; a cosmetic laser appointment should not replace the acne care you need.

    If breakouts have settled and marks or scars are your main concern, we can focus the consultation on those changes. Our separate guides explain uneven tone and scar texture in more detail.

    Ask where a procedure fits

    Laser and light treatments are sometimes considered as part of acne care, but results vary and they are not a universal substitute for other treatments. Ask what the proposed procedure is meant to address and why it is being recommended.

    Your plan should include a point to review progress. We will outline the next steps and explain how to assess your progress.

    Dr. Patel will help you choose the right approach and explain the treatment, recovery and full cost.

    Questions worth asking

    Do I need laser treatment for acne?

    Not necessarily. Appropriate acne care depends on its type and severity, your history and what you have already tried. Discuss medical management and other options as well as procedures.

    Can I treat scars while I still break out?

    Ongoing acne needs to be considered before a scar course. Tell Dr. Patel what is active now so the sequence of care can be discussed.

    Should I stop my acne products before visiting?

    Bring a list to the consultation and ask for instructions specific to any proposed procedure. Do not change prescribed treatment just because you are considering a cosmetic appointment.

    What does the consultation cost?

    It is free and reserves 30 minutes in Clifton. You can discuss suitability, options and the full proposed cost before deciding on treatment.
