Acne. Redness. Pigmentation. Uneven tone. Unwanted hair. Signs of aging.
Usually, that sounds like a list that would require several different treatments.
But that's what makes Aerolase such an interesting option.
Aerolase Neo Elite is a versatile laser treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns while offering a comfortable treatment experience with little to no downtime.
So, what exactly does it do and could it be right for your skin?
What Is Aerolase?
Aerolase Neo Elite is a medical laser that uses a 1064 nm Nd wavelength and short pulses of energy to target specific concerns within the skin.
Its technology allows energy to be delivered quickly, helping minimize excess heat on the skin's surface while targeting the structures beneath it.
Depending on your treatment plan, Aerolase can be used to address everything from active acne and unwanted pigmentation to redness, signs of aging, and unwanted hair.
In other words: it's not a one-concern laser.
What Can Aerolase Treat?
This is where Aerolase really stands out.
Your provider may recommend Aerolase for concerns including:
- Active acne
- Acne-related redness
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Redness and vascular concerns
- Rosacea
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin rejuvenation
- Unwanted facial or body hair
Because every person's skin is different, your consultation will determine whether Aerolase is appropriate for your specific concern.
Aerolase for Acne
If you're struggling with acne, Aerolase can offer a different approach.
The laser energy can target factors associated with breakouts while also helping reduce inflammation and redness.
It can be particularly appealing for patients who want to incorporate an in-clinic treatment into a broader acne management plan.
And because acne isn't one-size-fits-all, Aerolase can be combined with an individualized skincare and treatment plan based on what's actually happening with your skin.
Aerolase for Redness & Rosacea
Persistent redness can be difficult to cover and even more frustrating to manage.
Aerolase can target vascular concerns beneath the skin, helping improve the appearance of redness and creating a more even-looking complexion.
Your provider can assess the cause of your redness and determine whether laser treatment is appropriate.
Aerolase for Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Years of sun exposure can eventually show up as uneven pigmentation, dark spots, and an overall uneven complexion.
Aerolase can target unwanted pigment to help create clearer, more even-looking skin.
And if summer left behind a few reminders of all that sunshine, fall is a great time to have your skin assessed and create a treatment plan.
Aerolase for Skin Rejuvenation
You don't necessarily need one major skin concern to benefit from laser treatment.
Aerolase can also be incorporated into a rejuvenation plan to address concerns such as:
- Fine lines
- Uneven tone
- Uneven texture
- Redness
- Signs of sun damage
- Overall skin quality
The goal is healthier, clearer, more refreshed-looking skin not changing the way you look.
What Is an Aerolase Treatment Like?
Treatment will vary depending on the concern and area being addressed.
During your appointment, the laser handpiece delivers quick pulses of energy to the treatment area. Many patients find Aerolase treatments very tolerable, and treatment sessions can be relatively quick depending on the area being treated.
Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect before beginning.
Is There Downtime?
One of the reasons Aerolase is so popular is its minimal downtime.
Most patients can return to their regular activities following treatment, although temporary redness or warmth may occur.
As with any laser treatment, following your provider's aftercare instructions, including diligent sun protection is important.
When Will I See Results?
Results depend on what you're treating.
Some patients may begin noticing changes after their initial treatments, while concerns such as acne, pigmentation, redness, or overall rejuvenation may require a series of sessions.
Your provider will recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin, goals, and response to treatment.

One Laser, Many Skin Goals
One of the biggest benefits of Aerolase is its versatility.
