Additional Frequently Asked Questions About Aerolase® Neo Laser Skin Resurfacing
What makes the Aerolase Neo Elite laser platform unique compared to other aesthetic lasers?
The Aerolase Neo Elite uses advanced MicroPulse-1064 laser technology, which delivers high energy in ultra-short pulses. This enables highly effective treatments that are virtually pain-free, without the need for anesthetics or cooling gels. The collimated beam allows for non-contact treatment, reducing the risk of infection and making it more sanitary. It is also versatile—capable of addressing a wide range of skin concerns with minimal discomfort or downtime.
How does the Neo Elite laser work, and what makes it so comfortable for patients?
The Neo Elite uses a proprietary MicroPulse-1064 nanometer wavelength, which delivers energy in a series of short, high-powered pulses rather than one long burst. This design allows the laser to penetrate deeply into the skin while minimizing heat buildup on the surface. This helps dramatically reduce the potential for discomfort during the procedure.
Unlike many other lasers, the Neo Elite features a collimated beam, meaning the laser energy stays focused regardless of the distance from the skin. This allows for non-contact treatments that are less invasive, with no compression or dragging of the handpiece across the skin.
Is the Neo Elite laser safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones?
Yes—one of the standout features of the Neo Elite is its safety and efficacy across all skin types, including Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI. The 1064nm wavelength penetrates deeply while minimizing the risk of pigmentary changes. However, caution is advised with higher doses of energy on darker skin, especially when using smaller spot sizes.
How many treatments are needed and when can results be expected?
Treatment protocols vary depending on the condition being treated, but most concerns respond well to a series of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 1 to 4 weeks apart. Some conditions, like acne or rosacea, may show improvement in just a few weeks, while others like melasma may take longer. Many patients see continued improvement over time due to the stimulation of collagen and the body’s natural healing response.
Are there any side effects, precautions, or patients who should not undergo laser treatment?
While the Neo Elite is known for its safety, it’s not suitable for everyone. Treatment should be avoided in patients who:
- Are pregnant
- Have sunburn or irritated skin at the treatment site
- Have unidentified skin conditions or a history of poor healing after laser treatments
- Are on photosensitizing medications like Accutane (discontinue 6 months prior)
- Are using topical Retin-A (discontinue 2 weeks prior)
- Have active herpes outbreaks (antivirals may be prescribed preventively)
It’s also critical to follow post-treatment care and avoid sun exposure to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.
