When we were looking for a laser to bring into the spa, we didn't want something that could only do one thing well. We wanted a workhorse — gentle enough for sensitive skin, designed for every skin tone, and powerful enough to actually move the needle on the concerns our clients bring us every week.
That's how we landed on the Aerolase® Neo Elite. And honestly? It's earned its place as one of our most-loved treatments.
One device. 36+ indications.
Here's the thing that really sold us: the Neo Elite holds FDA clearances for more than 36 skin indications with a single handpiece. Acne. Rosacea. Melasma. Sun spots. Fine lines. Scars. Even things like razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Instead of having to send you somewhere else for a specific concern, we can often address it right here — sometimes in the same visit as another treatment.
That kind of versatility is rare, and it means we can build treatment plans that actually make sense for your skin, not whatever a single-purpose device happens to do.
Virtually painless — really.
If you've had a laser treatment before and braced yourself for that sharp snap-snap-snap feeling, the Neo Elite is going to surprise you. Most of our clients describe the sensation as warm — almost like a little drop of warm water on the skin. Typically no cooling sprays. Typically no numbing cream needed.
That's thanks to the Neo Elite's 650-microsecond pulse technology. The energy is delivered so quickly that your skin's surface barely registers it, while the laser still penetrates deep enough to do real work underneath.
Minimal downtime.
You can come in on your lunch break, get a treatment, and head straight back to work or out to run errands. You might have a little pink flush for an hour or two, but that's typically about it. Most clients report no peeling, no scabbing, no hiding out at home.
For anyone juggling a busy schedule, kids, or a job where you can't exactly show up looking like you just got lasered — this is a real win.
Safe for every skin type.
This one matters to us. Many traditional lasers can be challenging on darker skin tones — longer pulse durations risk burning the surface or causing post-treatment discoloration. Aerolase describes the Neo Elite as “purpose-built to treat all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker tones,” citing a 650-microsecond pulse duration that “reduces the risk of pain, hyperpigmentation, or burns.”
Per Aerolase, the technology is designed to work across Fitzpatrick I through VI. Everyone deserves access to great skincare, and we wanted a device built with that in mind.
Results that build on themselves.
Some of our clients see visible improvement after a single session — especially for things like rosacea or active breakouts. For deeper concerns like melasma or aging skin, we typically recommend a series of four to six treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Your skin keeps improving in the weeks after each session as collagen production ramps up.
Curious if it's right for you?
The best way to know if the Neo Elite would work for your skin is a quick consultation. We'll look at what you're hoping to address, talk through your skin history, and let you know honestly whether this laser is the right tool — or whether something else in our lineup would serve you better.
Either way, you'll leave with a real plan. Learn more about Aerolase or give us a call at 352.234.3340.
