One Laser.
Every Skin Type.
Aerolase Neo Elite is a 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser built around a 650-microsecond pulse. It gives us a highly versatile, non-ablative treatment option across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI — with no surface removal and typically little to no social downtime.
At Bolus, Neo is especially valuable when the condition matters more than the color of the patient's skin.
Neo can be incorporated into treatment plans for inflammatory, vascular, pigmentary and rejuvenation concerns while allowing parameters to be individualized around skin type and diagnosis.
Fitzpatrick I–VI.
Many energy devices require increasingly conservative treatment as epidermal melanin increases. Neo's 1064-nm wavelength and very short pulse architecture make it an important tool when treating patients with darker skin tones.
All skin types does not mean one setting for everyone.
Skin type, diagnosis, pigment history, medications, recent sun exposure and treatment objective still influence how we treat. The advantage is having a technology that gives us meaningful options across the full Fitzpatrick spectrum.
Useful because it can do more than one job.
Neo is not a resurfacing laser like HALO or CO₂. Its value is versatility, tolerability and its ability to become part of very different treatment strategies.
1064 nm
A deeply penetrating Nd:YAG wavelength used across vascular, inflammatory, pigmentary and hair-related applications.
650 μs pulse
Very short pulse delivery allows high energy to be delivered while limiting prolonged heat diffusion into surrounding tissue.
No numbing
Most Neo treatments do not require topical anesthesia or contact cooling, making the visit efficient and generally well tolerated.
Minimal downtime
Because the epidermal surface is not ablated, most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
Start with the condition. Not the machine.
Neo can perform many jobs, but the treatment plan still starts with a diagnosis and the result we're trying to achieve.
Acne + NeoClear
Inflammatory acne, oil-related activity, redness and post-acne discoloration across a broad range of skin tones.
Melasma
A chronic pigment condition requiring conservative energy selection, pigment suppression, sun protection and maintenance.
Rosacea + Redness
Diffuse erythema, inflammatory rosacea and selected superficial vascular concerns when Neo is clinically appropriate.
Cherry Angiomas + Vascular Lesions
Selected cherry angiomas and visible vascular lesions may respond to 1064-nm Nd:YAG treatment. Lesion size, depth, location and skin type determine whether Neo, ClearV or another vascular strategy makes the most sense.
PIH + Dark Marks
Selected post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly when we need an energy option appropriate for Skin of Color.
PFB + Ingrown Hair
Pseudofolliculitis barbae and hair-associated inflammation can be incorporated into Neo treatment strategies.
Skin Rejuvenation
Tone, redness, mild pigmentary change and collagen-oriented skin maintenance with essentially no social downtime.
A low-downtime laser still deserves a thoughtful plan.
Neo is relatively easy to recover from, but candidacy, treatment parameters, aftercare and follow-up still matter.
Before
We review the treatment concern, skin type, pigment history, recent sun exposure, medications and other factors that may influence treatment.
During
Most Neo treatments do not require topical anesthetic. Patients generally describe brief warmth or heat as energy is delivered.
Immediately After
Temporary warmth or mild redness may occur. Most patients have little to no social downtime and resume normal activities promptly.
Aftercare
Gentle skincare, sun protection and condition-specific instructions are emphasized. Your aftercare may vary depending on what we're treating.
Follow-Up
Corrective conditions commonly require a series. Once control improves, treatment frequency generally shifts toward individualized maintenance.
Better skin isn't a single treatment.
It's a strategy.
Most of the conditions we treat with Neo are not one-and-done problems. Acne can recur. Rosacea can flare. Melasma can reactivate. Pigment returns with new exposure. Skin continues to age. Long-term success comes from understanding the condition, correcting what we can, protecting the progress and adjusting when your skin changes.
Understand Your Skin
We start with what your skin is actually doing — not with a device. Acne, melasma, rosacea, redness, pigment and aging behave differently and require different strategies.
Control What's Driving It
Hormones, inflammation, oil production, vascular activity, pigment production, sun, heat, lifestyle, medications and skincare can all influence what appears on the surface.
Use the Right Tools
Aerolase may be the foundation — or one part of the plan. Depending on your skin, we may incorporate MOXI, BBL, ClearV, HydraFacial, peels, microneedling, professional skincare or other appropriate treatments.
Correct the Problem
This is often the more intensive phase. Depending on the condition and severity, we may recommend a series of treatments rather than expecting one visit to undo months or years of change.
Protect the Progress
Once your skin improves, we protect what we've accomplished with appropriate home care, sunscreen, pigment or acne management and intelligently timed treatments.
Maintain + Adjust
Healthy skin isn't static. Once we've gained control, treatment frequency usually decreases and shifts toward a maintenance rhythm that changes when your skin or life changes.
Maintenance helps keep it there. And when life changes your skin, your plan changes with it.
How many Aerolase treatments will I need?
It depends on what we're treating.
Neo is used for very different conditions, so one universal treatment count would be misleading.
Think of these numbers as the correction phase — not necessarily the end of your skin plan. Once we achieve the desired response, treatment frequency typically decreases and shifts toward maintenance.
Treatment counts are general planning ranges, not guarantees. Diagnosis, severity, skin type, treatment parameters and response determine the actual plan.
Acne is one of Neo's strongest stories.
A 2024 prospective study evaluated five 650-microsecond 1064-nm laser treatments in patients with mild through severe facial acne across Fitzpatrick I–VI. Median lesion reduction reached 83.7% by the third treatment and 86.7% at 90-day follow-up.
A larger 2025 retrospective study of 225 patients reported a median of three treatments to achieve clearance, with outcomes broadly similar between white patients and patients with Skin of Color.
Those studies are encouraging, but acne remains multifactorial. At Bolus, Neo may be used alone or alongside topical therapy, hormonal treatment, professional skincare, peels or other modalities depending on the patient.
Across Fitzpatrick I–VI.
Patients received five treatments at two-week intervals without anesthesia or skin cooling. The study reported high satisfaction and no observed adverse events.
Read the PubMed abstract →Melasma and rosacea are managed — not “fixed.”
Neo can be useful in both conditions, but neither should be reduced to a one-device sales pitch.
Melasma
Published work supports the 650-microsecond 1064-nm laser as an option for melasma across skin types, with several treatments typically required. We combine energy selection with pigment suppression, daily sun protection, heat/trigger awareness and long-term maintenance.
Important: melasma can recur. More aggressive energy is not automatically better.
Rosacea + Redness
Neo may help address inflammatory redness and selected vascular features, including in Skin of Color. Depending on the vascular pattern, BBL, ClearV, ClearSilk or another modality may be a better or complementary choice.
Important: rosacea is chronic and may require ongoing maintenance plus barrier-focused skincare and trigger management.
Three excellent tools. Different jobs.
The right device depends on the concern, skin type, desired correction and downtime tolerance.
Neo does a lot. It does not have to do everything.
We use the device for the job it does best, then add another modality only when that modality solves a different part of the problem.
Neo + Professional Skincare / Peels
For selected acne patients, laser treatment may be paired with topical therapy, professional skincare, exfoliation, extractions or chemical peels.
Neo + Pigment Management
Topical pigment suppression, mineral sunscreen and lifestyle/trigger management remain central. MOXI may also be incorporated in carefully selected treatment plans.
Neo + ClearV / BBL
Diffuse inflammation and discrete vascular structures are not always the same target. Another vascular technology may be added when clinically appropriate.
Neo + Resurfacing
If texture, scars or deeper photodamage are the dominant issue, HALO, CO₂, Er:YAG, RF microneedling or scar-specific procedures may do the heavier corrective work.
Build the plan around your skin — and your goals.
Some patients need one treatment. Others want a defined corrective series. Others want a long-term relationship that keeps them consistent throughout the year.
Individual Treatments
Start with exactly what your skin needs today. This works well for a specific concern, an occasional treatment or someone who is not ready to commit to a larger plan.
Packages + Custom Packages
Packages are available for defined treatment series, and custom packages can combine different parts of the Bolus ecosystem — including laser treatments, skin treatments, professional skincare and other clinically appropriate services.
Your package does not have to be five identical treatments. The plan can evolve around the result we're trying to create.
Private Client
Designed for patients who want skin health to remain an ongoing priority. Foundation unlocks Preferred Pricing and Elevated unlocks our best Exclusive Pricing while your monthly contribution builds your Bolus Wallet for eligible care.
You can absolutely combine a package with Private Client. Your active Private Client level determines the applicable treatment pricing; we do not stack an additional package discount on top of Private Client pricing.
Your skin doesn't know what's on your calendar.
Chronic and recurring skin conditions do not follow a neat treatment schedule. Maintenance gives us a framework to protect progress and respond intelligently when real life shows up.
Hormonal Breakout
Your skin was doing beautifully — then your cycle triggered an inflammatory acne flare. The plan may temporarily shift back toward control.
Vacation + Heat
You were meticulous about sunscreen, but heat, sun exposure or too much time in a sauna reactivated melasma. We reassess instead of pretending the condition disappeared forever.
Rosacea Flare
Heat, stress, exercise or a birthday dinner with a couple glasses of wine may suddenly bring redness back. Maintenance means we have a strategy when it does.
Life Keeps Happening
New sun damage develops. Skin ages. Seasons change. Medications and hormones change. The technology you need next year may not be the one you need today.
Spot + limited-area Aerolase treatments are available.
Have only a few active breakouts or a localized concern? Aerolase Neo spot treatment and limited-area treatment are available for isolated inflammatory acne and other appropriate concerns on the face and body.
A Few Active Breakouts
For a small number of isolated inflammatory acne lesions, a focused Neo treatment may be more appropriate than treating the entire face.
Regional Facial Treatment
Acne or another appropriate concern concentrated around the jawline, chin, cheeks, forehead or another facial region can be treated as a limited area when clinically appropriate.
Face + Body Acne
Larger acne patterns involving the chest, shoulders, upper back or full back can also be treated. Larger areas are planned and priced according to the treatment field rather than simply counting individual lesions.
If a few inflammatory breakouts appear between maintenance visits, ask whether a focused Neo treatment makes sense.

Read the science behind the treatment.
Device marketing is not enough. These publications help explain where the 650-microsecond 1064-nm laser has clinical evidence.
Mild to Severe Facial Acne
Patients across Fitzpatrick I–VI received five treatments. Median lesion reduction reached 86.7% at 90-day follow-up.
PubMed →225 Acne Patients
A large retrospective cohort reported a median of three laser treatments to achieve clearance, with broadly comparable outcomes in white patients and Skin of Color.
Open Access Study →Melasma
A clinical evaluation described the 650-microsecond 1064-nm laser as a treatment option for melasma with essentially no pain or downtime and use across skin types.
PubMed →Cherry Angiomas
A systematic review found multiple laser and non-laser approaches effective for cherry angiomas. Nd:YAG 1064 nm was among the effective laser modalities and may offer pigment-related advantages in darker skin types.
PubMed →Research does not guarantee an individual result. Treatment selection, diagnosis, settings, concurrent therapy and adherence all affect outcomes.
What patients usually want to know.
Is Aerolase safe for darker skin?
Neo is designed for treatment across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI, and its 1064-nm wavelength makes it particularly useful in Skin of Color. That does not mean every patient receives identical settings. Diagnosis, skin type, pigment history and treatment objective still guide the plan.
Does Aerolase Neo hurt?
Most patients find Neo very tolerable. Treatments generally do not require topical numbing, gel or contact cooling. You may feel brief warmth during treatment, and sensation varies by treatment area and parameters.
Is there downtime?
Neo is non-ablative and does not remove the surface of the skin. Most patients have essentially no social downtime and can resume normal activities immediately. Temporary warmth or mild redness can occur.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the condition. Acne, melasma and rosacea are generally treated as a series, while rejuvenation may be used periodically for maintenance. We do not use one universal treatment count for every diagnosis.
Can Aerolase treat acne?
Yes. NeoClear is one of the strongest evidence-supported uses of the 650-microsecond 1064-nm platform. Published studies include patients with mild through severe facial acne and Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI.
Can Aerolase treat melasma?
It can be incorporated into selected melasma treatment plans. Melasma is chronic and often requires multiple strategies including strict photoprotection, topical pigment control and maintenance. We do not present any laser as a cure for melasma.
Can Aerolase treat rosacea?
Neo can be useful for selected inflammatory and vascular components of rosacea, including in darker skin types. Depending on the pattern of redness or visible vessels, BBL, ClearV, ClearSilk or another vascular technology may be more appropriate.
Is Aerolase a resurfacing laser?
No. Neo is a non-ablative 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser. It does not remove the epidermal surface like ablative CO₂ or Er:YAG resurfacing, and it does not create fractional columns like MOXI or HALO. If deeper texture or scars are the primary concern, we may recommend a different or combined approach.
Can I buy an Aerolase package and become a Private Client?
Absolutely — and for many clients that may be the best way to begin.
A package creates a defined corrective plan. Private Client provides the ongoing pricing and strategy to maintain and protect the result. Foundation unlocks Preferred Pricing and Elevated unlocks Exclusive Pricing while status is active.
Private Client pricing is not combined with an additional package discount.
Can Aerolase Neo treat cherry angiomas?
Yes, selected cherry angiomas and other vascular lesions can be treated with 1064-nm Nd:YAG technology. The best device depends on the lesion's size, depth, color, location and your skin type. At Bolus, we may choose Neo, ClearV or another vascular modality rather than forcing every vascular lesion into the same treatment.
Any new, changing, bleeding, irregular or diagnostically uncertain lesion should be medically evaluated before cosmetic laser treatment.
How much does Aerolase Neo cost?
Aerolase Neo face treatment is $500 at Standard Pricing. Foundation Private Clients receive $400 Preferred Pricing, and Elevated Private Clients receive $300 Exclusive Pricing. Other treatment areas or specialized treatment plans may be priced differently.
Tell us what your skin is doing.
We'll build the strategy.
Acne, melasma, rosacea, pigment, redness or simply a desire for low-downtime maintenance — Neo gives us another way to build the treatment around the patient rather than forcing the patient into one technology.
