If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of breakouts, redness, or dark spots—only to find that nothing seems to work—you’re not alone. Many of our clients come to Sanctuary Skin after trying everything from prescriptions to peels, only to be disappointed by harsh side effects, minimal results, or treatments that aren’t safe for their skin tone.
That’s exactly why we brought in the Aerolase Neo Elite—a state-of-the-art device that offers one of the most effective and inclusive laser treatments in Virginia Beach.
This single treatment doesn’t just improve one skin concern. It targets the root causes of acne, calms rosacea, fades pigment, and rejuvenates the skin—all without pain, heat, or downtime.
Let’s break down how it works.

How Aerolase Laser Treatments in Virginia Beach Treat Acne, Rosacea, and Pigment Safely
Unlike older lasers or chemical peels, Aerolase works beneath the surface using a 650-microsecond 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength. It’s powerful enough to reach the deeper layers of skin, but short enough that it doesn’t cause surface damage. This allows it to safely target:
Acne and Breakouts
Kills acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes)
Shrinks sebaceous (oil) glands to reduce excess sebum
Calms inflammation and reduces active lesions
Works well for both teenage and adult acne
Many clients see visible calming after just one session, and with a series of 3–6, skin stays consistently clearer.
Rosacea and Redness
Seals off broken capillaries
Reduces flushing and visible redness
Strengthens the skin barrier with consistent treatments
For those with sensitive skin or vascular conditions, Aerolase is one of the only lasers that won’t trigger additional irritation or heat response.
Pigment and Melasma
Breaks apart clusters of melanin without damaging the skin’s surface
Calms inflammation that often fuels melasma
Safe for deeper Fitzpatrick skin types (IV–VI)
Unlike IPL, Aerolase doesn’t cause rebound pigmentation or post-inflammatory darkening, making it ideal for clients with melanin-rich skin.
Why It’s Different from Other Laser Treatments
Many lasers work by creating controlled injury or heat. That often leads to peeling, sensitivity, or post-care restrictions—and in some cases, they can actually make pigment or redness worse.
Aerolase is different.
No heat buildup at the surface
No risk of pigment rebound
No flaking or shedding
No need to pause your skincare routine
And it’s completely safe for all skin tones
It’s one of the few lasers we trust to use on active acne, inflamed rosacea, or even tanned skin without concern.
Is Aerolase Right for You?
If you’re experiencing:
Hormonal or cystic acne
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Sun damage or melasma
Redness, broken capillaries, or rosacea flares
Texture, enlarged pores, or dullness
Then Aerolase may be the most effective and non-invasive treatment you’ve tried yet.
Most clients benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance as needed. You can also combine it with facials, DMK enzyme therapy, or pigment-inhibiting skincare for enhanced results.
