What is Aerolase?

The Aerolase Neo Elite is an aesthetic medical laser that provides a premium patient experience unrivaled in dermatology and aesthetics. Uniquely gentle, the Neo offers complete skin rejuvenation in a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment for all skin types and tones.

The Neo’s unique 650-microsecond technology is attracted to a combination of melanin, hemoglobin, and water in the skin tissue, which contributes to the signs of aging in your skin. The Neo’s energy passes through the skin to selectively heat these targets without adverse effects, resulting in clear, healthy skin. The 650-microsecond pulse eliminates discomfort during treatment and provides safe, highly efficacious results for even the darkest skin. Tones.

Neoskin By Aerolase® For Skin Rejuvenation And Tightening

NeoSkin by Aerolase advances skin rejuvenation and tightening to new levels by enabling a comprehensive treatment that addresses tone and texture, redness, pigmentation, laxity, and other unwanted skin conditions in a single treatment with a single device. NeoSkin uses 650-microsecond laser energy, which is uniquely attracted to melanin, hemoglobin, and water within the skin to safely, effectively, and tolerably renew the skin’s natural, youthful glow. NeoSkin now achieves the results that used to require numerous treatments and methods.

Addressing The Aging Process

As the skin ages, numerous changes can occur. Skin quality can deteriorate with enlarged pores, uneven texture, and sagging skin. Unwanted conditions, such as redness, veins, sun damage, and age spots, may appear. Acne may follow through adulthood. Whether you are looking to restore your clear, youthful skin or prevent signs of aging, NeoSkin can help achieve your skin goals. First, NeoSkin’s 650-microsecond energy targets water in the dermis to stimulate collagen production, which reduces fine lines and pores and tightens skin. Then, if present, NeoSkin targets melanin and hemoglobin to clear brown pigment, clear vascular lesions, and suppress inflammation. This NeoSkin treatment is a quick, tailored treatment to address each patient’s specific needs.

Neoclear By Aerolase® Acne Treatment

NeoClear by Aerolase provides patients of all ages and skin types with a new, safe, effective, and tolerable treatment for acne, utilizing advanced 650-microsecond technology. NeoClear is a powerful acne treatment that eliminates the major factors causing acne, including excess sebum production, inflammation, and the P. acnes bacteria. Typically, many different treatments, medications, or skin care options are required to address these factors, but NeoClear can achieve this with a single device. 

A Safe And Tolerable Treatment

The unique settings of the 650-microsecond device allow energy to penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering a highly safe and tolerable pulse that reduces sebum production, suppresses inflammation, and destroys P. acnes bacteria to help clear current acne breakouts and prevent them in the future. Additionally, the deep heating energy helps build collagen, which can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and leave the skin looking radiant.

Neoskin By Aerolase® For Melasma And Hyperpigmentation

NeoSkin by Aerolase enables patients of all skin types to effectively clear their melasma and hyperpigmentation. As a multi-factorial condition that can involve epidermal melanin, dermal melanin, and a vascular component, melasma typically requires a complex treatment regimen to achieve clearance and prevent a recurrence.

The Aerolase Neo helps patients achieve clearance with a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment by addressing each of these factors. The Neo’s 650-microsecond laser energy is delivered into the dermis and epidermis to break up melanin deposits while shutting down vasculature and inflammation. Due to the unique parameters of the Neo’s energy, treatment is highly tolerable with minimal risk of adverse effects compared to traditional topical or device treatments for melasma.

Helping You Manage Melasma

Managing melasma can be challenging, and topical agents may necessitate long-term treatment. The Neo, however, can help patients achieve clearance with fewer treatments. For patients who want an accelerated clearance of their condition, the Neo can be combined with a peel in a single treatment session. First, the Neo helps to break up the epidermal and dermal pigment.

Then, the peel may be applied to speed up the cellular turnover of the epidermis. While the Neo may be used alone as a single treatment, the combination of these two treatments offers patients a great “one-two punch” to clear their condition.

Aerolase Neo melasma treatments typically take 15 to 20 minutes. Neo melasma treatments are safe, effective, and tolerable for all skin types and all forms of melasma. Treatment may be performed without the need for skin cooling, anesthetics, or even skin contact.

Neoskin By Aerolase® For Rosacea, Redness, And Veins

NeoSkin comprehensively addresses rosacea, redness, veins, and broken capillaries in a single, 20 to 25-minute treatment session. A common condition with skin aging is the appearance of redness and the formation of veins and broken capillaries in the skin. Rosacea is a chronic disorder characterized by facial flushing and, over time, the gradual development of persistent facial redness and spider-like blood vessels. 

It is often punctuated by episodes of inflammatory papules (bumps), pustules (pimples), and swelling. Management for many people often includes avoidance of popular foods and alcohol as well as cosmetic camouflage, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Other forms of diffuse redness, such as poikiloderma of Civatte, may be attributed to factors like exposure to UV rays and lifestyle, which can also be addressed through the NeoSkin treatment. 

The Aerolase Neo effectively addresses these conditions with deep-penetrating energy that suppresses the inflammation causing the redness. It also coagulates the unwanted veins and broken capillaries, which are then gradually cleared by the body’s natural immune response.

Psoriasis Clearance

Aerolase 650 Microsecond Technology™ suppresses inflammation and coagulates the hypervascular feeding plaque growth with deep-penetrating energy. Aerolase uniquely enables patients with psoriasis to receive a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment for all ages and skin types, without the use of topical steroids or systemic medications. This means that there are no side effects from traditional therapies. Plus, compared to other light-based therapies, Aerolase 650 Microsecond Technology offers quicker treatments and faster rates of clearance. 

​​Treating Nail Fungus

Onychomycosis, or nail fungus, is an infection of the toenail in which the nail changes color, thickness, and quality.  In addition to causing an unhealthy appearance, it can cause pain and difficulty walking.  

Laser treatment for nail fungus is a safe, quick, and highly effective option.  Most patients are able to clear their infection with only one or two treatments.  Laser procedures for nail fungus are proven to be a much safer and more effective method compared to oral medications or topical creams.   One of the key aspects of eradicating nail fungus is to achieve penetration of the laser energy into the nail bed.  This area needs significant heating to ensure the fungal material is destroyed, which requires a deep-heating and powerful laser.  The Aerolase Neo Elite offers patients the ideal laser for such treatment.  After treatment, patients can resume their normal daily activities.

Results are not immediate, as it takes anywhere from 3 to 12 months for the new, non-infected nail to grow.  It is recommended that patients follow this preventive care regimen to avoid reinfection:

  1. Apply an antifungal cream for 2 weeks following the procedure. Always spray the inside of the shoes with an antifungal spray at the end of the day and avoid wearing them for 2 days. Alternatively, use Steri-Shoe ultraviolet shoe sanitizers.
  2. After 2 weeks, spray the feet or fingers with anti-fungal spray on an ongoing basis.
  3. Change the sheets on the 1st night after each treatment;
  4. Clean the shower floor before next use with a cleanser that contains bleach.;
  5. Cleanse all nail instruments with bleach before reusing them.
  6. Throw out any nail polish previously used on the nails.
  7. Exercise caution in public areas, such as hotel rooms and public showers.

Aerolase For Hair Removal

Laser hair removal utilizes a combination of heat and energy to target and destroy the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.  The Aerolase Neo Elite laser provides patients with a uniquely pain-free and gentle method for removing unwanted hair.

A Gentle Experience

Most patients who have been treated with other lasers say that being treated with the Aerolase Neo Elite is much gentler and more pleasant.  During laser hair removal, the hair must be in its growth phase to be successfully destroyed.  To ensure that all hair is effectively removed during the growing phase, you will receive a series of treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.  This will successfully ensure maximum results.

PFB

PFB (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, i.e., ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or beard bumps) is an irritating condition that is commonly caused by shaving. It often appears in patients with darker skin types, including those with tanned skin and skin types IV through VI. The laser selectively targets the melanin in the underlying hair and follicle, as well as hyperpigmentation surrounding the lesion. 

Due to Aerolase lasers’ unique 650-microsecond pulse duration, which is 50 to 500 times shorter than the pulse durations typically used for hair removal by other laser technologies, the energy passes through the skin quickly and does not overheat the epidermal melanin, effectively treating the condition.

Skin Of Color

Patients of all skin types and tones are seeking the next best solution for their dermatologic and aesthetic needs. This is especially true for patients of color who are limited to specific treatments that, at times, give ineffective results. The Aerolase Neo 650 Microsecond Technology has been revolutionized to provide patients of all ages and skin types with an equal and fair opportunity to treat skin conditions using advanced technology.

The Aerolase Neo is an aesthetic medical laser that provides a premium patient experience unrivaled in dermatology and aesthetics. Uniquely gentle, the Neo offers complete skin rejuvenation in a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment for all skin types and tones. The 650-microsecond pulse eliminates discomfort during treatment and provides safe, highly efficacious results for even the darkest skin tones.

How Does Aerolase Work For Skin Of Color?

The Neo is able to safely treat skin of color patients by using laser energy that can pass through the epidermis so quickly that it does not have time to overheat the epidermal melanocytes, thus avoiding the pigmentary risk associated with most laser systems. With Neo, not only is the treatment safer and more pleasant than any other laser on the market, but it is also more efficacious, delivering the sought-after result with fewer treatments thanks to its unique blend of high-powered yet gentle laser pulses.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Aerolase?

NeoClear is a special treatment as it has no side effects, is very comfortable for patients, and the results can be seen quickly, in as little as a single treatment. NeoClear is an excellent option for patients in the Phoenix area who do not want to take prescription medications or are unable to. Additionally, with increasing prescription costs, NeoClear is an excellent, cost-effective solution for patients with acne problems.

What Are the Benefits of Aerolase?

  • Versatile care in fewer visits: Addresses multiple concerns in one session: tone and texture, redness/rosacea, pigmentation and melasma, acne, enlarged pores, and early laxity.
  • Comfortable for all skin types: 650‑microsecond pulses minimize heat buildup in the epidermis, making treatment highly tolerable, even for sensitive skin and deeper skin tones. No gels, cooling, or anesthesia needed in most cases.
  • Collagen support & skin smoothing: Deep dermal heating prompts new collagen formation to refine fine lines, reduce the look of pores, and subtly tighten over time.
  • Little to no downtime: Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Mild warmth or pinkness fades within hours.

Aerolase Recovery

Most patients experience minimal after‑effects beyond a short‑lived warmth or pinkness that settles within a few hours. Here’s how to protect your results:

General care (first 24–48 hours)

  • Keep skin cool and clean; avoid hot yoga, saunas, and very hot showers the day of treatment.
  • Moisturize as needed and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily; reapply as needed when outdoors. Skip retinoids, scrubs, acids, benzoyl peroxide, and fragrances until skin feels back to baseline (usually 1–3 days).
  • Do not pick or scratch.

By concern

  • Acne: You may notice early improvement in inflammation within days; a brief, mild purge can occur as pores clear.
  • Melasma/Pigmentation: Strict sun protection is essential to maintain your gains; we may pair your plan with pigment-targeted skincare.
  • Redness/rosacea: Flushing typically subsides over several sessions; avoid known triggers (such as alcohol, spicy foods, and extreme heat) after treatment.
  • Hair removal: Expect normal shedding to occur in 1–3 weeks; avoid waxing/tweezing between visits (shaving is acceptable).
  • Nail fungus: Nail appearance improves as it grows out; keep nails trimmed and follow antifungal hygiene guidance to prevent reinfection.
