Why the Neo Elite

Unlike lasers that risk dark marks on melanin-rich skin, the Neo Elite's 1064nm wavelength and 650-microsecond pulse treat acne on every skin tone with very low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — so it's a strong option when medications, peels, or other lasers haven't been a fit.

You're a good candidate if

You have active breakouts or acne-prone skin, want to avoid oral medications or downtime, and want an option that's safe for deeper skin tones.

Aftercare

None required. Wear SPF, skip harsh actives for 24 hours, and resume your routine — including makeup — the same day.

About the Aerolase Neo Elite

650-microsecond pulse

High energy delivered faster than skin conducts heat, so there's no need for cooling or numbing cream and treatments stay comfortable.

1064nm Nd:YAG, contactless

A single wavelength delivered without touching the skin — no cryogen, no sapphire tips, no disposables — that reaches oil glands, pigment, vessels, and hair follicles.

Safe for Fitzpatrick I–VI

Engineered to treat every skin tone safely, including skin of color, with markedly lower risk of dark marks and scarring than many alternative lasers.

The Neo Elite is FDA-cleared across 36+ indications and is used across dermatology and medical aesthetics.

The Neo Elite also helps with concerns like pseudofolliculitis (razor bumps), keratosis pilaris, mild-to-moderate psoriasis, nail fungus, and certain scars — ask your provider whether it's right for your goals.
