AcneLase is Dr. Jetty‘s dual–pulse Nd:YAG acne protocol. Long–pulse and short–pulse 1064 nm energy in one session clears active inflammatory acne and refines post–acne skin.
Serving Princeton, NJ and Surrounding Communities.
AcneLase is the dual-pulse Nd:YAG acne protocol developed by Dr. Jetty at Princeton Aesthetics, combining long-pulse and short-pulse 1064 nm energy in a single session to clear active inflammatory acne and refine post-acne skin without carbon suspension or concurrent oral antibiotics.
Sustained deep dermal heating that targets the sebaceous gland and reduces the inflammatory drive behind active acne. Comfortable in clinic, no anesthesia required.
Higher peak-power 1064 nm energy that adds photo-disruptive action against bacterial colonization and stimulates dermal remodeling for skin quality and early scar improvement.
Long-pulse and short-pulse Nd:YAG are sequenced back-to-back in the same visit. The combination addresses active acne and post-acne skin in a single treatment block, not separate appointments.
AcneLase is the in-clinic protocol that combines long-pulse and short-pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG energy in a single session to address the multiple drivers of acne at once. Each session targets sebaceous gland activity, post-inflammatory erythema, and the dermal architecture beneath active and resolving lesions. Most patients complete a series of six to eight sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart.
Each session begins with long-pulse Nd:YAG delivered across the affected zones. Short-pulse Nd:YAG follows immediately in the same session to add photo-disruptive action and trigger collagen remodeling. Most face-only sessions take about thirty to forty-five minutes.
AcneLase addresses inflammatory and cystic acne, post-inflammatory erythema, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, recurrent and antibiotic-resistant acne, and early to moderate atrophic scarring. The protocol is designed for patients who want clearance and skin quality improvement without long-term oral antibiotics or isotretinoin.
AcneLase departs from the conventional acne paradigm of months of topicals, antibiotics, and isotretinoin. The protocol is a procedural, dual-pulse Nd:YAG treatment that addresses the underlying biology of acne in the dermis itself.
Earlier laser-acne protocols relied on a topical carbon lotion to enhance laser absorption. AcneLase produces measurable clearance without the carbon step, eliminating the messy preparation and the questions about long-term safety of repeated carbon exposure.
The protocol was validated with patients off all oral antibiotics and topical acne medications during therapy. Patients who want to stop the cycle of recurrent doxycycline or minocycline courses have a real procedural alternative.
Published data demonstrate maintained improvement at a mean of twenty-two months after the active treatment phase ends. AcneLase is not a temporary surface treatment that fades when sessions stop.
Most acne protocols treat the acne now and the scars later. AcneLase addresses inflammation, post-inflammatory erythema, and early scar architecture in the same session, shortening the overall timeline to clear skin.
The dual-pulse Nd:YAG approach is the foundation of how acne can be treated procedurally. Dr. Jetty performs every AcneLase session personally and designs a session count tailored to disease severity and skin type.
Long-pulse 1064 nm energy is delivered across the affected zones. The sustained deep heating reduces sebaceous gland activity, calms the inflammatory milieu around active lesions, and warms the dermis in preparation for the second pulse.
Short-pulse 1064 nm energy follows immediately in the same session. The higher peak-power delivery adds photo-disruptive action against bacterial colonization and initiates collagen remodeling in the upper and mid dermis.
Each session ends with cooling and post-care guidance. Sunscreen is non-negotiable, gentle skincare is preferred for forty-eight hours, and patients return for the next session in two to four weeks.
Reducing the root driver.
The long-pulse component delivers heat at the depth of the sebaceous unit. Reducing gland activity reduces the substrate for acne formation, not just the lesions already visible.
The short-pulse contribution.
The short-pulse component adds a photoacoustic effect that contributes to bacterial reduction within the follicular unit and around active lesions.
Treating the red marks acne leaves behind.
1064 nm Nd:YAG has a real vascular signature. The combined pulses fade the persistent redness that follows resolved acne lesions over the treatment series.
Skin quality alongside clearance.
Short-pulse Nd:YAG initiates collagen remodeling in the upper dermis. Patients with early atrophic scarring see softening of the architecture across the treatment series.
Validated dual-pulse protocol.
The combined long-pulse and short-pulse Nd:YAG approach was validated by Bakus et al. in 2018 with sustained benefit at twenty-two months. AcneLase carries that evidence into clinic.
The two pulses are not interchangeable. Long-pulse alone treats the inflammation; short-pulse alone treats the skin quality. Sequencing both in one session is what makes AcneLase a different procedural treatment for acne.
Papulopustular and nodulocystic disease.
Patients with active inflammatory and cystic acne who want a procedural treatment that addresses the disease at the dermal level.
When the same prescription cycle keeps repeating.
Patients who clear on oral antibiotics and relapse when the course ends. AcneLase offers a different point of attack on the disease.
A procedural alternative.
Patients who are candidates for isotretinoin but prefer a non-systemic option. AcneLase is not a substitute for isotretinoin in every case, and Dr. Jetty discusses both pathways during consultation.
AcneLase is not for patients with active herpes simplex outbreaks, patients on photosensitizing medications, or patients with very recent isotretinoin use. Dr. Jetty reviews every candidate personally and recommends the appropriate timeline for treatment.
AcneLase was designed by Dr. Jetty around the published dual-pulse Nd:YAG evidence base, not assembled from generic laser-acne settings.
Every AcneLase session is performed by Dr. Jetty. No technician or delegated provider performs this protocol at Princeton Aesthetics.
The combined long-pulse and short-pulse Nd:YAG approach is supported by published clinical data with twenty-two month durability.
AcneLase produces clearance without topical carbon suspension and was validated with patients off systemic acne medications during therapy.
1064 nm Nd:YAG is the wavelength of choice for darker skin types because of its low epidermal melanin absorption. Settings are calibrated to skin type at every session.
The dual-pulse mechanism addresses inflammatory lesions, post-inflammatory erythema, and early scar architecture in the same session.
Dr. Jetty designs your AcneLase series around disease severity, skin type, and prior response to other therapies.
Minimal downtime. Most patients return to work, school, and social activity within hours of treatment.
Begin with an educational discovery session at no cost. Walk away with a treatment plan whether or not you proceed.
