The Aerolase Neo Elite effectively treats acne, rosacea and redness, hyperpigmentation, melasma, uneven skin tone and texture, fine lines, large pores, and even skin laxity. It’s also used on the body to treat areas like the chest, back, arms, and legs.

The Aerolase Neo Elite uses a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser delivered in 650-microsecond pulses. This means the laser energy goes deep into the skin to treat concerns like inflammation, acne bacteria, pigment, and aging—without damaging the top layer of skin. It stimulates natural healing processes, boosts collagen, and targets skin issues at the source.

Not at all. Most clients describe the feeling as a warm zap or a quick pulse of heat, but it’s very tolerable. There’s no need for numbing cream, and treatments are comfortable—even for sensitive skin.

Yes. The Aerolase Neo Elite is FDA-cleared and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones. It’s a great option for those who may not be candidates for traditional lasers due to risk of hyperpigmentation or burns.

No. You can return to your normal routine immediately after treatment. Your skin may appear slightly pink for a few minutes, but this fades quickly. There’s no peeling, no flaking, and no recovery time needed.

That depends on your skin goals. While many clients see visible results after just one treatment, optimal results usually come from a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Some concerns like melasma or deeper pigment may require additional maintenance treatments.

A typical laser treatment takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. It’s a great “lunchtime” option with no interruption to your day.

Yes. Aerolase can be a standalone treatment or added on to a facial for even greater results. At Sanctuary Skin, we often combine laser with treatments like enzyme therapy, chemical peels, or microneedling, depending on your unique skin goals.

Many traditional lasers use longer pulses and create heat in the top layer of the skin, which can cause discomfort, downtime, and risks—especially for darker skin tones. Aerolase’s ultra-short pulse technology allows for deep penetration with minimal heat, making it one of the most comfortable and versatile lasers on the market.

Yes. Aerolase is a great option for active acne, inflammation, or compromised skin barriers. It doesn’t aggravate breakouts or strip the skin—instead, it helps calm the inflammation and clears bacteria for a smoother, calmer complexion.

Yes, you can apply makeup right away if you'd like. However, we always recommend giving your skin a little time to breathe and fully process the benefits of the treatment if possible.

Some clients notice an immediate glow or reduction in redness after just one session. Deeper concerns like pigmentation and acne typically improve gradually with a series of treatments, as collagen builds and inflammation is reduced.

The Aerolase Neo Elite is cleared by the FDA to treat 32 different skin conditions, making it one of the most versatile and advanced laser devices available.
