Below you’ll find treatment information, expectations, contraindications, and post-care notes for each service.

  • WHO IS AEROLASE NOT SUITABLE FOR?

    Laser treatment should not be performed on patients who are:


    • Pregnant
    • Sunburned or experiencing skin irritation in the treatment area
    • Showing unidentified or suspicious skin conditions
    • Known to heal poorly after laser treatments
    • Prone to abnormal skin discoloration
    • Taking photosensitizing medications (e.g., Accutane—discontinue 6 months prior)
    • Using topical Retin-A (stop 2 weeks prior)
    • Showing raised pigmented lesions (aside from red angiomas)—must be cleared by a dermatologist first

    Laser treatments may trigger cold sores; antiviral medication is recommended for patients prone to fever blisters.

  • IS AEROLASE SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

    YES! Neo Elite is one of the safest lasers available for darker skin tones due to its MicroPulse-1064 technology, which lowers risks of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. It is suitable for all skin types, (I–VI).

  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR ACNE?

    How the Treatment Works


    The Neo Elite heats the sebaceous glands to kill p. acnes bacteria, reduce oil production, minimize breakouts, and shrink pores. It is safe for all skin types and requires no anesthesia or gels.


    Treatment Expectations


    • Most patients need 4–6 treatments
    • Treatments are spaced 1–2 weeks apart
    • Skin may temporarily worsen before improving
    • Maintenance may be needed, as acne is a chronic condition

    Is It Painful?


    No. Patients feel mild warmth and occasionally slight pinching.


    Can It Treat Acne Scars?


    Yes—redness and pigmentation improve, with mild texture enhancement.

  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL & PSEUDOFOLLICULITIS BARBAE (PFB)?

    How the Treatment Works


    Laser energy targets melanin in the hair follicle to reduce hair growth and improve ingrown hairs. Works best on darker hairs; less effective for blonde, gray, or red hair.


    Expectations


    • Typical clearance: 80% or more after 6 treatments
    • Maintenance: once yearly
    • For LHR: treatments every 4–8 weeks
    • For PFB: treatments every 2–3 weeks

    Important Patient Instructions


    Patients must shave 2–3 days before treatment, leaving 2–3mm of hair growth so the clinician can monitor hair response.


    Pain Level


    Mild warmth; generally comfortable.

  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR TREATING MELASMA?

    How It Works


    Laser energy targets epidermal and dermal pigment to gradually lighten melasma.


    Expectations


    • 3–5 treatments, spaced every 3–4 week
    • Melasma may darken before it lightens
    • Recurrence is common due to sun, hormones, or genetics

    Is It Permanent?


    No. Melasma is a chronic condition that can be managed—not cured.

  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR NAIL FUNGUS (ONYCHOMYCOSIS)?

    How It Works


    Laser light penetrates through the nail to kill fungal organisms by heating the nail bed.


    Expectations


    • 2–4 treatments, spaced 1–2 weeks apart
    • Nails take 9–12 months to fully grow out
    • Reinfection risk is high without proper foot care

    Aftercare Essentials


    Patients should:


    • Bring clean socks to each visit
    • Disinfect shoes with antifungal spray
    • Clean showers and bedding
  • HOW DOES AERLASER WORK FOR REMOVING PIGMENTED SPOTS?

    How It Works


    Laser energy breaks down concentrated melanin in the skin.


    Treatment Course


    • Most spots clear in 2–4 treatments
    • Treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart

    After Treatment


    • Spots darken (often turning black)
    • Slough off naturally in 3–4 weeks
    • Area must remain moist to prevent scarring
  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR PSORIASIS?

    How It Works


    Laser therapy targets microvasculature supporting psoriatic plaques and reduces inflammation.


    Expectations


    • Typically 5+ treatment
    • Psoriasis is chronic—not curable
    • Maintenance treatments may be needed

    After Treatment


    • Redness may last a few days
    • Skin thickness improves over 6 weeks
  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR ROSACEA TREATMENT?

    How It Works


    Laser energy breaks down diffuse redness and coagulates visible capillaries.


    Treatment Plan


    • Improvement often seen in 1–4 treatments
    • Sessions every 3–4 weeks

    Chronic Nature


    Rosacea cannot be cured, only managed. Flare-ups may still occur.

  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR SCAR TREATMENT?

    How It Works


    The laser targets pigment and vascularity within scars to reduce redness, discoloration, and improve texture.


    Expectations


    • 3–4 treatments, spaced 3–4 weeks apart
    • Newer scars respond better than older scars
    • Ablative lasers (e.g., Era) may be required for deep texture correction
  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR SKIN REJUVENATION?

    How It Works


    Laser energy heats water in the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production.


    Treatment Course


    • Typically 6 monthly treatment
    • Results continue improving for 6 more months

    What It Improves


    • Tone and texture
    • Fine lines
    • Red & brown spots
    • Skin firmness
  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR VASCULAR LESION REMOVAL?

    How It Works


    Laser energy heats and collapses blood vessels causing visible redness.


    Expectations


    • Many lesions clear in 1–2 treatments
    • Leg veins may return due to pressure and circulation
    • Temporary “cat scratch” appearance is normal
  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR WART REMOVAL?

    How It Works


    Laser energy destroys the blood supply feeding the wart.


    Expectations


    • 2–4 treatments, every 1–2 weeks
    • Virus remains in the body, so new warts may develop elsewhere

    Safety Measures


    Because viral particles may aerosolize, clinical smoke evacuation and protective gear are required.

  • HOW DOES AEROLASE WORK FOR WOUND HEALING?

    How It Works


    Laser therapy stimulates the body’s healing cascade, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue regeneration.


    Treatment Course


    • 3–6 treatments recommended
    • Sessions 1–2x weekly
    • Chronic conditions may require more sessions

    What to Expect


    • Pain relief may be immediate
    • Wound healing is gradual and varies by severity
