Laser Technology

The Science of the Aerolase Neo Elite®

The Aerolase Neo Elite is an advanced 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser that delivers energy through ultra-short 650-microsecond pulses. This technology allows controlled thermal energy to reach targeted structures within the skin while helping minimize excessive heating of surrounding tissue.

For acne-prone skin, Aerolase may help reduce inflammatory lesions, improve visible redness, and support a clearer, more balanced complexion. Its non-ablative approach makes it a versatile treatment option for different skin types and tones.

Clinical Applications

Acne Concerns Aerolase Can Address

Aerolase Neo Elite 650µs laser therapy can be considered for a variety of inflammatory and acne-related concerns across the face, neck, chest, and back.

Inflammatory Acne & Deeper Breakouts

Deeper Breakouts & Blemish Discomfort

Aerolase may help reduce some inflammatory acne lesions. Deep, painful, nodular, or cystic acne needs medical assessment and may require other treatment to reduce the risk of scarring.

Hormonal Jawline & Chin Breakouts

Cyclical Lower-Face Breakouts

Laser treatment may help improve inflammatory breakouts affecting the chin and jawline. However, it does not correct the underlying hormonal factors responsible for recurring acne.

Post-Acne Redness (PIE)

Persistent Vascular Redness

Aerolase may help improve the appearance of persistent redness associated with healed acne lesions by targeting vascular components within the skin.

Post-Acne Dark Spots (PIH)

Uneven Skin Tone & Discolouration

Aerolase may help improve the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, including dark marks left behind after acne heals. Treatment suitability depends on skin tone, pigmentation characteristics, and individual skin response.

Back, Chest & Shoulder Acne

Larger Body Area Management

Laser treatment can be considered for inflammatory breakouts affecting larger body areas, including the back, chest, and shoulders. Treatment duration depends on the area being addressed.

Teenage & Adolescent Acne

Gentle In-Clinic Care

Aerolase may be considered for selected adolescents experiencing inflammatory acne. Treatment suitability depends on acne severity, skin condition, age, and clinical assessment. More severe or scarring acne may require medical treatment.

Candidate Suitability & Treatment Scope

Who is a good candidate for Aerolase laser acne treatment?

Aerolase may be considered for selected mild to moderate inflammatory acne or post-acne redness after an assessment. It can complement established acne care; results vary and laser treatment alone may not clear acne.

Active Acne vs. Established Acne Scars: Aerolase laser treatment primarily addresses active breakouts, inflammation, and vascular redness. Established depressed acne scars, including boxcar and icepick scars, generally require different treatment approaches. Depending on scar type and skin condition, options may include RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, or other professionally recommended procedures.

Not every breakout type responds identically. Your provider will evaluate your skin barrier, current skincare or medications, and recommend an appropriate session cadence. Results vary, and multiple sessions are typically recommended.

Treatment Comparison

Aerolase Laser vs. Other Acne Treatment Options

Choosing the Right Acne Treatment

Aerolase laser therapy may be used independently in selected cases or alongside other acne treatments. The most appropriate approach depends on acne severity, medical history, skin type, and treatment goals. Moderate to severe acne, particularly when scarring is present, may require assessment and treatment by a qualified medical professional.

The Treatment Journey · What to Expect

What to expect at your laser acne appointment

Your visit follows four structured clinical steps, from examining active breakouts through comfortable contact-free phototherapy and tailored homecare.

01

Consultation & Skin Assessment

Your provider assesses your acne severity, skin type, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether Aerolase is appropriate and recommend a personalized treatment schedule.

03

Results & Follow-Up

Monitoring your skin's response over time.

Common Inquiries

Frequently asked questions about laser acne treatment

Clear, clinical answers about how Aerolase works, candidate suitability, comfort, session frequency, and downtime.

Aerolase Neo Elite uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with 650-microsecond pulses to deliver controlled energy into the skin. Treatment may help reduce inflammatory acne lesions, influence acne-associated bacterial and sebaceous activity, and improve visible redness. Results develop gradually and vary between individuals.

Most clients describe the sensation as gentle warmth or mild snapping against the skin. Aerolase treatments are generally well tolerated and typically do not require topical numbing cream. Sensitivity varies depending on the treatment area and individual skin response.

Many clients undergo a series of approximately 3–6 treatments, although the number and frequency depend on acne severity, treatment goals, and individual response. Your provider will recommend an appropriate treatment schedule following your skin assessment.

Aerolase Neo Elite can be used across a broad range of skin tones, including Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI. Its 650-microsecond technology is designed to help minimize excessive thermal exposure to surrounding tissue. However, all laser treatments carry potential risks, including pigmentation changes, making professional assessment and appropriate treatment settings important.

Aerolase is a non-ablative laser treatment that typically requires minimal downtime. Some clients experience temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling. Most can return to their usual activities shortly after treatment, following their provider’s aftercare recommendations.

Certain acne medications and active skincare ingredients may affect treatment suitability or skin sensitivity. Inform your provider about all prescription medications, including isotretinoin, topical retinoids, and other acne treatments. Your provider will assess whether any adjustments are necessary before treatment.

Aerolase primarily helps manage active inflammatory acne and may improve the appearance of certain post-acne marks, including redness and hyperpigmentation. Although some laser protocols may support collagen remodelling, deeper or depressed acne scars generally require a separate treatment approach. Your provider can recommend suitable options following a skin assessment.

Yes. Acne is influenced by several factors, including hormones, genetics, skincare habits, and sebaceous activity. While Aerolase may help reduce active breakouts, it does not permanently eliminate the underlying causes of acne. Maintenance treatments or a consistent skincare routine may be recommended depending on your individual needs.

Aerolase laser therapy may help improve inflammatory acne, but it does not necessarily replace prescription acne treatments. Depending on acne severity and individual circumstances, laser treatment may be recommended alongside an established skincare or medical treatment plan. Your provider can help determine whether additional medical assessment is appropriate.

Some clients notice changes in inflammation or redness after their initial sessions, while others require several treatments before visible improvements develop. Results vary depending on acne severity, skin characteristics, treatment frequency, and ongoing skincare. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust recommendations as appropriate.
