What’s the Best Age to Start Preventative Skincare? (Myrtle Beach Edition)

Persistent skin issues such as acne, rosacea, and uneven pigmentation can take a serious toll on your confidence and overall well-being. Living in a humid, coastal environment like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, often adds to these challenges—especially with the increased exposure to UV rays, salt air, and fluctuating moisture levels. At Sculpt Skin Solutions, we proudly offer advanced Aerolase laser technology to our Myrtle Beach-area clients to help combat these concerns safely and effectively. What is Aerolase Laser Treatment? Aerolase is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared laser therapy that uses 650-microsecond pulses of energy to treat a wide range of skin conditions without discomfort or damage to surrounding tissues. The laser’s quick pulse duration makes it ideal for targeting specific skin issues deep beneath the surface, without overheating or requiring downtime. Aerolase stands apart from traditional lasers in its versatility and ability to safely treat all skin types—including darker skin tones. It’s a game-changer for Myrtle Beach clients seeking non-invasive skin rejuvenation with reliable results. How Aerolase Works Aerolase laser treatments deliver high-powered energy into the skin in very short pulses, which generate controlled heat within targeted problem areas. This heat can destroy acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, trigger collagen production, and help break down hyperpigmentation. Because the laser’s pulse is so fast, it doesn’t linger on the surface of the skin, making the treatment virtually painless and extremely safe. The process is simple: Your skin is thoroughly cleansed. Protective eyewear is applied. The Aerolase device is moved across the treatment area as pulses of energy are emitted. You’re done in under 30 minutes—with zero downtime. Conditions Treated with Aerolase at Our Myrtle Beach Med Spa We treat a variety of skin concerns with Aerolase laser therapy, including: Acne and Acne Scars: Aerolase reduces inflammation, kills acne bacteria (P. acnes), and promotes healing. It’s particularly effective for adult acne that’s resistant to topical treatments. [ NIH study on laser acne treatment ] Rosacea and Redness: Aerolase gently shrinks dilated blood vessels and calms redness, offering a soothing alternative to harsh topicals. [ AAD Rosacea guidelines ] Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage: Common in sunny regions like Myrtle Beach, hyperpigmentation and melasma can be treated by targeting and breaking down melanin clusters in the skin. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Aerolase stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to smooth fine lines and firm the skin naturally over time. Skin Tightening: Without any invasive procedures, the heat from Aerolase promotes mild skin tightening and improved elasticity over multiple sessions. Why Aerolase is Ideal for Myrtle Beach Skin Types Myrtle Beach residents often deal with environmental factors that exacerbate skin concerns, including prolonged sun exposure, seasonal humidity, and ocean air—all of which can affect skin clarity and elasticity. Unlike older laser systems that can worsen pigmentation or cause burns, Aerolase is safe for every skin tone and works exceptionally well in treating sun-related skin issues common to coastal living. Benefits of Aerolase Laser Treatment Safe for All Skin Tones: Ideal for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. No Downtime: Walk out of our Myrtle Beach med spa and head to the beach, work, or dinner with no redness or peeling. Comfortable Treatments: Most clients report little to no discomfort during sessions. Fast Results: Many clients begin to notice improvements within a few sessions. Versatile Uses: Whether you're treating acne, aging, or unwanted redness, Aerolase offers comprehensive skin health benefits. What to Expect After Your Appointment Post-treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm or appear a bit flushed—but this resolves within a few hours. No special aftercare is needed beyond sunscreen and a gentle skincare routine. We recommend a series of 4–6 treatments for optimal results, spaced about 2–4 weeks apart depending on your concern. We encourage you to protect your investment by following post-treatment tips: Avoid direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Apply a physical SPF 30+ daily (we recommend mineral-based sunscreen). Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer. Why Choose Sculpt Skin Solutions for Laser Treatments in Myrtle Beach?
