Aerolase Laser
The Aerolase LightPod Neo® is a uniquely gentle and versatile laser device, which is safely and effectively used for a broad range of common aesthetic skin treatments. The Aerolase laser has been proven effective for patients of any age or skin type.
HOW DOES THE AEROLASE LASER WORK?
The Neo’s 1064 laser light is attracted to a combination of melanin, hemoglobin, and water within the skin tissue. The laser energy passes through the epidermis and selectively targets specific tissue structures without affecting the surrounding skin. These factors are what make the laser so versatile, efficient, safe, and gentle.
WHY LASER THERAPY:
Safe & Gentle: Aerolase laser technology is FDA cleared for acne treatment and has a proven safety record without the common side effects of other therapies such as itchy, dry or sensative skin.
Quick Results: Many patients see results immediately after one treatment and further improvement with subsequent treatments. Other therapies can take up to 90 days to show improvement.
No Harmful Drugs: You avoid the negative side effects associated with many popular, systematic drug therapies.
No Downtime: You can Immediately return to normal activities after treatment.
Acne
NeoClear by Aerolase acne therapy is the perfect solution for all ages and all skin types who suffer from all severities of acne. This safe, effective, and tolerable treatment is quickly becoming the ‘go-to’ treatment for patients suffering from acne.
Acne is caused when pores become clogged and then infected with the p. acnes bacteria. The laser light heats the affected area to effectively kill the acne’s bacteria while also helping to shrink the sebaceous glands, which will cause them to produce less oil, limit future outbreaks and reduce pore size. This can vary depending on the skin and severity of the condition, but generally, 4 to 6 sessions are required to achieve a good result. After that, the patient may need maintenance every few months depending on their skin type.
Melasma
This can vary depending on the size density of melanin and depth of the affected area. Typically melasma will lighten or disappear completely after 1-2 treatments although in some cases more treatments may be necessary. It is important to understand that melasma, like eczema and psoriasis, is a chronic condition that can be controlled rather than cured.
Nail Fungus
Typically, 3 treatment sessions are recommended spaced out 3-4 weeks to gauge the success of each subsequent treatment and to physically view the clear nail growth. Follow-up treatments may be needed to prevent or treat reinfection.
Rosacea & Redness
Rosacea lesions tend to subside after the first or subsequent treatments. Regardless of the treatment response, recurrence is common and can be caused by a number of lifestyle factors. It is important to understand that rosacea is a chronic condition that can only be controlled rather than cured. Individual results will vary but can depend on the body surface that is affected. While some patients may see relief in just one treatment, other patients may need a number of treatments to achieve their desired result.
Pigmented Spot Removal
Some patients will respond better than others and the number of treatments for each lesion may depend on the darkness and size of the lesion as well as the amount of laser energy used. After treatment, the lesion should continue to darken and eventually slough off in 3-4 weeks. Some differences in pigmentation between the treated spot and surrounding tissue may persist after the lesion is fully or mostly removed. This can vary depending on the size and color of the pigmented spot. Typically sun and age spots will disappear completely after 1-2 treatments although in some cases more treatments may be necessary.
Scar Revision
Typically, newer scars respond better than older ones due to the increased amount of vascularity or melanin present within the scar. While collagen will be remodeled to help with skin texture, it is important to let the patient know that laser therapy will diminish any melanin or vasculature within the scar, but will not remove the scar as an ablative laser, such as the LightPod Era, is needed to diminish scar tissue. Typically, the more pigment or vasculature the scar contains the more treatment sessions may be needed. While there may be a noticeable improvement after just one treatment, multiple treatment sessions may be needed to sufficiently eradicate the color.
Skin Rejuvenation
NeoSkin by Aerolase is the perfect anti-aging solution for all ages and all skin types who either want to keep their skin clear and youthful or for those that want to turn back the clock and regain a youthful complexion. This safe, effective, and tolerable treatment is quickly becoming the ‘go-to’ therapy for patients wanting clear, beautiful skin.
Patients should begin to see results immediately after the treatment and the results will continue to become better over time. After the complete set of treatments (typically once a month for 6 months) patients can expect to see the results continue for the next six months, after which they can start the treatments again. This can vary depending on the skin and severity of the condition, but generally, 6 sessions are required to achieve a good result. After that, the patient may need maintenance every few months depending on their skin type.
Veins & Vessels
Vessels treated on the legs have a higher tendency to resurface, as the blood pressure tends to be higher. After treatment, rust-colored staining of adjacent skin tissue, called hemosiderin, may appear from the breakdown of hemoglobin and will subside over the course of 3-4 weeks. Typically angiomas and spider veins will disappear completely after 1-2 treatments although in some cases more treatments may be necessary.
Warts
Some patients will respond better than others and the number of treatments for each vessel may depend on the depth and size of the wart. This can vary depending on the depth and size of the wart. Typically warts disappear completely after 1-2 treatments although in some cases more treatments may be necessary.

The Aerolase Neo Elite® laser safely and effectively reduces unwanted hair for good. Permanently reduces hair after 4-6 treatments. Treatment sessions are well-tolerated. No skin cooling or anesthetics required. Safe to use on skin of color. Effective even on lighter-colored hairs and fair skin
