Aerolase Neo Elite

The Aerolase Neo Elite® is truly one of a kind. It uses a special short-pulse laser technology that sets it apart from anything else out there (650-microsecond short-pulse 1064nm YAG technology).

While traditional lasers rely on heat to get results (which can mean discomfort and downtime), the Neo Elite works differently: it sends energy deep into the skin without heating the surface.

It's one of the most versatile lasers available, safe for ALL skin tones and able to treat a wide range of concerns with little to no downtime.

You'll see real, visible results quickly. No burning, no lingering redness, no recovery time needed.

Yes, and it is one of the primary reasons we chose to bring this laser into Refinery. Many lasers deposit heat in a way that puts melanin-rich skin at risk of burns or hyperpigmentation, which is exactly why deeper skin tones have historically been turned away from laser treatments altogether.

Aerolase Neo Elite® works differently, and it's what makes it special. Its pulse duration is shorter than the skin's thermal relaxation time, so energy bypasses the outer skin layer and reaches the target below the surface before surrounding tissue has a chance to overheat. That precision is what makes it safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, whether you're dealing with acne, pigmentation, or texture, all without disrupting your skin's natural barrier.

We still customize every treatment to your skin at consultation, but the ability to treat clients that other lasers exclude is one of the reasons this machine anchors our practice.

Most clients describe it as a warm sensation, brief pulses of heat, but genuinely comfortable rather than painful. There's no need for numbing cream or cooling devices, and even sensitive areas tolerate it well, which makes it ideal for first-timers or anyone nervous about lasers.

That comfort comes down to engineering. The Neo's 650-microsecond pulse delivers its energy faster than the skin's discomfort threshold can register, which is precisely why we chose this machine. Sensation varies a little by area (bonier spots notice more) and by what we're treating that day, but if you've braced yourself based on stories about older lasers, you can unbrace. Sessions are quick enough that clients often book them on their lunch break, and honestly, it's the laser our own providers choose for theirs too.

Many clients notice calmer, brighter, less reactive skin within the first session or two, particularly with redness and active breakouts, which respond quickly to the Neo's anti-inflammatory effect. For pigmentation, melasma, or deeper scarring, results develop more gradually over multiple sessions.

That's because Aerolase Neo Elite® works by stimulating the skin from within, so improvements keep building even after treatment ends. Each session builds on the last: firmer texture, more even tone, and new collagen develop steadily across the series and continue improving for weeks afterward, since collagen matures on its own schedule. Think of it as a slow, steady transformation that lasts, rather than an overnight fix. Imaging at your visits documents the change along the way, so you're never left squinting at the mirror wondering if it's working.

Aerolase Neo Elite® is incredibly versatile. From Rosacea, spider veins, stretch marks, psoriasis, warts, ingrown hairs, and even unwanted hair removal (on all skin tones), it also boosts collagen production, making it a great choice for anti-aging and overall skin rejuvenation. 

Whether you’re treating one issue or several at once, Aerolase Neo Elite® can address them in a single session.

It’s your all-in-one skin reset. It’s a game-changer for anyone looking for results without the risk or recovery of harsher lasers. You’ll walk out with skin that looks better and functions better too.

It’s ideal for people with busy lifestyles or those new to laser treatments.
