Laser Skin Resurfacing | Chicago IL

Welcome to the forefront of skincare innovation with Aerolase, the ultimate solution for your aesthetic needs. It’s not just a laser device; it’s a game-changer in the world of medical aesthetics. Whether you are looking to revitalize your skin, combat acne, reduce pigmentation, or achieve smooth, hair-free skin, Aerolase delivers remarkable results that exceed expectations.

What is Aerolase^® Neo Elite?

Unlike traditional lasers that may cause discomfort and require extensive downtime, the Neo offers complete skin rejuvenation in a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment for all skin types and tones. It utilizes a unique 650-microsecond pulse duration which eliminates discomfort during treatment, which
means you can return to your daily activities immediately afterward.

The Neo’s energy passes through the skin and is attracted to a combination of melanin, hemoglobin, and water in the skin tissue to selectively heat these targets, resulting in clear, healthy skin. The treatment is quick, comfortable and without side effects. It can be used on all skin types, including darker skin tones, making it a versatile option for a diverse range of patients. Treatments are performed without any skin cooling, anesthetic, and even without the need to touch the skin.

How can Neo be used on darker skin types?

Patients with darker skin types are usually limited to specific treatments that at times give ineffective results. With its unique 650-microsecond pulse technology, the Neo can safely treat skin of color by using laser energy that can pass through the epidermis so quickly that it does not have time to overheat the epidermal melanocytes, thus avoiding the pigmentary risk associated with most laser systems.

Does Neo provide an all-rounded treatment (Rejuvenation and Tightening)?

Yes, whether you are looking to restore your clear, youthful glow, or prevent signs of aging, Neo can help achieve your skin goals with a rejuvenation and tightening treatment.

As skin matures, its quality may decline. Pores can expand, collagen diminishes, leading to laxity, and issues like redness, hyperpigmentation, and adult acne may arise. With a single device, Neo can help tackle these concerns.

First, the energy targets water in the dermis to stimulate collagen production, which reduces fine lines, pores, and tightens skin. Then, if present, Neo targets melanin and hemoglobin to clear brown pigment, clear vascular lesions, and suppress inflammation. The treatment is quick and tailored to address each patient’s specific needs. You will likely require multiple treatments to achieve your goal.

Neo for Acne and Acne scarring

Neo is a powerful acne treatment that eliminates the major factors causing acne including excess sebum production, inflammation, and the p. acnes bacteria. Typically, many different treatments, medications, or skin care options are required to address these factors, but Neo can achieve this with a single device making it cost effective and great for those not wanting to take medications. The unique settings of the 650-microsecond device allows energy to penetrate deeply into the skin within a highly safe and tolerable pulse to reduce sebum production, suppress inflammation, and destroy the p. acnes bacteria to help clear current acne breakouts and to stop them in the future. Also, the deep heating energy helps build collagen, which can reduce the appearance of acne scars and leave skin looking radiant.

Neo for Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses a combination of heat and energy to destroy the hair follicle without harming the skin around it. Neo offers patients a uniquely pain-free and gentle way to get rid of any unwanted hair. The hair must be in its growing phase to be successfully destroyed so treatments are spaced 4 weeks apart to ensure maximum results.

Neo for Melasma and Hyperpigmentation

Neo by Aerolase allows patients of all skin types to comprehensively clear their melasma and hyperpigmentation without the use of traditional topical treatments. As a multi-factorial condition that can involve epidermal melanin, dermal melanin, and a vascular component, melasma typically requires a complex treatment regimen to achieve clearance and prevent recurrence. The Neo’s 650-microsecond laser energy is delivered into the dermis and epidermis to break up melanin deposits while shutting down vasculature and inflammation. For an accelerated clearance, the Neo can be combined with a chemical peel in a single treatment session.

Rosacea, Redness, and Veins

A common condition with skin aging is the appearance of redness and formation of veins and broken capillaries in the skin. Rosacea is a chronic disorder that is characterized by facial flushing and with time the gradual development of persistent facial redness and spider-like blood vessels. Neo effectively
addresses these conditions with deep-penetrating energy that suppresses the inflammation causing the redness. It also coagulates the unwanted veins and broken capillaries, which are then gradually cleared by the body’s natural immune response.

PFB

PFB (Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, i.e. ingrown hairs, razor bumps or beard bumps) is an irritating condition that is commonly caused by shaving often in patients of darker skin types. The laser selectively targets melanin in the underlying hair and follicle to destroy it without overheating the epidermal melanin.

Psoriasis Clearance

Neo uniquely enables patients with psoriasis a safe, effective, and tolerable treatment for patients of all ages and skin types without the use of topical steroids or systemic medications. It uses its microsecond technology to suppress inflammation and coagulate the hyper-vasculature feeding plaque growth with deep-penetrating energy.

Nail Fungus

Onychomycosis, or nail fungus, is an infection of the toenail in which the nail changes color, thickness, and quality. In addition of causing an unhealthy appearance, it can cause pain and difficulty walking. It is much safer and more effective compared to oral medications or topical creams. The laser energy heats and penetrates deep into the nail bed to ensure the fungal material is destroyed. Results are not immediate, as it takes anywhere from 3-12 months for the new, non-infected nail to grow. It is recommended that patients follow post- treatment instructions provided to avoid reinfection.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

• Notify your practitioner of any medications you have used within the last 6 months.
• Notify your practitioner if you have a history of perioral herpes.
• Discontinue Accutane 9 months before treatment.
• For laser hair removal, discontinue waxing, tweezing or plucking 3 weeks prior to treatment. Shaving is required 2 days before treatment, as small 2-3 mm stubble of hair MUST be present for the treatment to be effective.

 

Post-Treatment Instructions

• You may return to your normal daily activities immediately after your treatments.
• Avoid extended sun exposure or tanning for at least 1-week post treatment.
• Any redness that occurs, if any, should disappear within a few hours after the treatment and if you would like, apply an ice pack.
• Keep the area well moisturized with an inert moisturizer. The area will change color in the days and weeks following treatment and may form a crust or a scab. This is a normal occurrence during the healing process and should be allowed to slough off on its own. Do not rub, scratch, or pick at the treated area to let the treated area naturally heal.
• Avoid extended sun exposure or tanning for one-month post treatment. After the crusted pigmented skin layer sloughs off, use a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB minimum of SPF 30. Remember to reapply throughout the day.
• If the area becomes tender, reddened, or shows signs of infection, please notify your doctor immediately.
• To achieve the best results, complete the full treatment schedule at the intervals recommended by your laser practitioner.
• After laser hair removal, continue a regiment of shaving through your course of treatments, 2 days before each treatment session, to ensure any remaining follicles are present at treatment.
• Leg veins may convert to what looks like a cat-scratch from 24 hours up to 2 weeks post- treatment. This is a normal occurrence. Veins may disappear and re-appear for a period of up to 3 months post-treatment.
• When treating rosacea, pronounced vessels may convert to what looks like a cat-scratch (rust coloring or bruising) from 24 hours up to 2 weeks post-treatment. This is a normal occurrence. Such pronounced vascular lesions may disappear and re-appear for a period of up to 3 months post-treatment.
• After a treatment of leg veins or a rosacea treatment, avoid blood thinners for 1-2 weeks post-treatment. Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours post-treatment.
• Immediately after a treatment for psoriasis, there may be some transient erythema in or adjacent to thetreated area, which should resolve within a few days. It may take up to 6 weeks for the affected areas of skin return to a more normal thickness, but the redness may take up to several months to improve. Typically, maintenance sessions will need to be scheduled for continued improvement of flare ups occur.
• After a treatment for PFB, continue a regiment of shaving or clipping hairs through your course of treatments to ensure any remaining follicles are present at treatment.
• When treating melasma, keep the area well moisturized with Bacitracin or Polysporin. The area will change color in the days and weeks following treatment and may form a crust or a scab. This is a normal occurrence during the healing process and should be allowed to slough off on its own. Do not rub, scratch, or pick at the treated area to let the treated area naturally heal.
• When treating active acne, discontinue any chemical peels or exfoliating agents for 2 weeks as the skin may become more sensitive after the treatment.
• When treating nail fungus, keep the treated nails and skin clean and dry, especially after sports or activities involving water or moisture. Wear only clean socks. Treat all of your shoes with anti-fungal spray immediately after your treatment and at least once per week thereafter. You may apply nail polish 24 hours after treatment. Discard any nail polish previously used on the nails. Use an anti-fungal cream on your nails for two weeks post-treatment. Change the sheets the first night after each treatment and wash socks and sheets with bleach. Clean your bath or shower with bleach prior to use. Clean all nail instruments with bleach before using them again. If you shower anywhere outside of your own home (e.g. the gym), wear properly treated flip-flops or sandals and disinfect them after each use.
