If you’ve been researching Aerolase laser treatment, you’ve probably come across a long list of skin concerns it can help improve. From acne and rosacea to sun damage and skin rejuvenation, Aerolase is one of the most versatile laser treatments available today.
At Trillium Creek Dermatology, we use the Aerolase® LightPod Neo to treat a wide range of cosmetic skin concerns with little to no downtime. If you’re wondering how it works, what it treats, or whether it may be a good fit for your skin, this guide will walk you through what you need to know before scheduling a consultation.
What Is Aerolase Laser Treatment?
The Aerolase® LightPod Neo is an advanced laser that uses 1064 nm laser energy to target specific structures beneath the surface of the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue largely unaffected.
Because the laser interacts with melanin, hemoglobin, and water within the skin, it can be used to treat a variety of concerns without the lengthy recovery associated with some resurfacing lasers.
Many patients choose Aerolase because treatments are quick, gentle, and require little or no downtime.
What Can Aerolase Treat?
One of the biggest advantages of Aerolase is its versatility. Instead of treating just one concern, it can be used for many common cosmetic skin conditions.
At Trillium Creek Dermatology, Aerolase is used to treat:
- Acne
- Melasma
- Rosacea and facial redness
- Brown spots and pigmentation
- Nail fungus
- Scar revision, including acne scars, stretch marks, and keloids
- Skin rejuvenation
- Veins and small vascular lesions
- Warts
- Wound healing
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and determine whether Aerolase is the best treatment for your concerns or whether another option may be more appropriate.
Why Patients Choose Aerolase
Patients often choose Aerolase because it offers several advantages over other treatment options.
The treatment is:
- Gentle on the skin
- FDA cleared for acne treatment
- Appropriate for many skin types
- Performed with little to no downtime
- Quick enough to fit into a busy schedule
Many patients also appreciate that Aerolase can address several concerns over the course of a treatment plan without relying on oral medications.
What Happens During Treatment?
Aerolase treatments are performed in the office and are generally well tolerated.
During your appointment, your provider will move the laser over the treatment area while delivering short pulses of laser energy. Most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth rather than pain.
Treatment times vary depending on the size of the area, but many appointments take less than 30 minutes.
Afterward, most patients are able to return to work or normal daily activities immediately.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments depends on what you’re treating.
For example:
- Acne often improves with a series of four to six treatments, followed by occasional maintenance sessions if needed.
- Melasma and brown spots may improve after one or two treatments, although additional sessions are sometimes recommended.
- Nail fungus is commonly treated with three sessions spaced several weeks apart.
- Scar revision and skin rejuvenation often require multiple treatments because collagen remodeling happens gradually.
Your provider will recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin, your goals, and how your skin responds along the way.
Is Aerolase Right for Me?
Aerolase can be a good option for patients who want to improve acne, redness, pigmentation, signs of aging, or overall skin quality without significant downtime.
The best way to determine whether it’s the right treatment is through a consultation. During your visit, we’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend a treatment plan that’s appropriate for your skin type and goals.
