What Is Aerolase NeoDerm?
Advanced 650-Microsecond Laser Technology for Clearer, Healthier Skin
Aerolase NeoDerm is a next-generation aesthetic and medical laser system that delivers high-energy pulses with ultra-short 650-microsecond technology, allowing for safe, effective treatment of a wide range of skin concerns without damaging the skin’s surface.
It works by targeting key structures in the skin—melanin, inflammation, bacteria, and vascular components—to reduce acne, pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging. The NeoDerm device offers the latest in non-ablative Nd:YAG laser therapy, meaning it works below the skin without removing or injuring the top layers.
Because NeoDerm is gentle, quick, and requires no downtime, it’s ideal for patients looking for noticeable results with minimal disruption to their daily routine. It’s also safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones that are often at risk with traditional lasers. At Skin Oasis Dermatology, we use NeoDerm to provide advanced skin rejuvenation for patients throughout the greater Gambrills area.
Why Aerolase Neo Is Safe for Skin of Color
One of the biggest advantages of the Aerolase® Neo offered at Skin Oasis Dermatology in Gambrills, MD, is its exceptional safety profile for all skin types and tones, including deeper complexions that are often at risk with traditional laser treatments.
Most lasers carry a risk of overheating the epidermis, which can lead to burns, hyperpigmentation, or post-inflammatory discoloration—especially in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI. Aerolase Neo was engineered specifically to avoid these complications, making it a trusted option for our patients throughout Anne Arundel County.
Thanks to its revolutionary 650-microsecond pulse duration, the Neo delivers energy so quickly that it bypasses the epidermal melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells in the skin). This prevents excess heat buildup and dramatically reduces the risk of pigment changes.
Why this matters for patients with darker skin:
Targeted Energy: The laser energy targets the concern—not the skin pigment.
No Risk of Overheating: Prevents burning or unintended damage to the skin surface.
Unmatched Comfort: Treatment is comfortable, even for sensitive or reactive skin.
Inclusive Treatment: It safely addresses conditions common in melanin-rich skin, including:
Melasma and Hyperpigmentation
Acne & post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB)
Redness and inflammation
The Aerolase Neo delivers smoother texture, clearer tone, and calmer skin with fewer treatments and virtually no discomfort—making it one of the most inclusive and reliable laser options available today for patients in Gambrills, MD, and surrounding communities.
What Aerolase® Neo Can Treat
The Aerolase Neo is one of the most versatile aesthetic lasers available, offering safe, effective treatment for a wide range of skin and hair concerns—on all skin tones, including deeper complexions. With advanced 650-microsecond technology, Aerolase can address multiple issues comfortably and without downtime.
Here’s what Aerolase can treat at Skin Oasis Dermatology in Gambrills, MD, serving patients throughout Odenton, Severn, Millersville, Bowie, Glen Burnie, and Laurel:
Acne
Aerolase targets all major acne triggers—excess sebum, inflammation, and acne-causing bacteria.
Key benefits: Reduces oil production, destroys C. acnes bacteria, and calms redness. Quick, 10–30 minute sessions are safe for both teens and adults.
Melasma & Hyperpigmentation
Aerolase treats pigment safely in both light and dark skin tones without causing the "rebound" flare-ups seen with traditional lasers.
Key benefits: Targets melanin in both the epidermis and dermis and reduces the vascular components of melasma.
Skin Rejuvenation & Tightening
Aerolase stimulates collagen to improve tone, texture, and clarity.
Helps improve: Fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and mild skin laxity.
Redness, Rosacea & Broken Capillaries
Neo energy reduces vascular inflammation and coagulates unwanted veins.
Key benefits: Calms rosacea flares and minimizes visible vessels while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Psoriasis
Aerolase suppresses inflammation and improves plaque appearance—without steroids or systemic medications.
Key benefits: Reduces scaling and improves clearance faster than traditional light therapies.
Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)
Aerolase heats the nail bed to destroy fungal organisms.
Key benefits: Safe, quick, and highly effective; most patients only need 2–4 treatments.
Recommended aftercare: Use topical antifungals for two weeks, sanitize shoes/tools, and maintain ongoing hygiene to prevent reinfection.
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB)
The ideal solution for darker skin tones suffering from ingrown hairs and "razor bumps."
Key benefits: Targets the hair and surrounding hyperpigmentation simultaneously while preventing future ingrowns. Safe for skin types IV–VI.
Laser Hair Removal
Aerolase provides a gentle, virtually painless hair removal experience that is safe for all skin tones.
Aerolase NeoDerm Results
Here’s what makes Aerolase stand out:
Gentle, Comfortable Treatments
Many lasers feel hot or require numbing cream. Aerolase is different; most patients describe it as a warm, quick “snap” on the skin—comfortable enough that numbing is not needed.
Safe for Every Skin Tone
Aerolase’s advanced technology avoids overheating the skin, making it safe and effective for all complexions, from the lightest to the darkest, including the diverse community of patients we serve in Anne Arundel County.
No Downtime — Really
Aerolase treatments have little to no downtime, so you can go right back to work, errands, or social plans in Gambrills the same day.
Treats Multiple Concerns at Once
Instead of needing different lasers for different issues, Aerolase is a single-device solution for acne, dark spots, redness, enlarged pores, and more.
Great for Sensitive or Reactive Skin
If your skin gets irritated easily, Aerolase is an excellent option. It’s gentle enough for rosacea and melanin-rich skin that doesn’t tolerate heat well.
Effective for Complex Concerns
Aerolase safely treats conditions that many lasers struggle with, including melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—especially in skin of color.
How Aerolase NeoDerm Works
Advanced Laser Technology That Targets the Root of Skin Concerns
The Aerolase NeoDerm laser uses a 1064nm Nd:YAG wavelength combined with an ultra-short 650-microsecond pulse duration to deliver energy deep into the skin while keeping the surface cool and intact. This allows for highly targeted treatment that is both effective and comfortable for a wide range of skin concerns.
Laser energy is absorbed by specific targets in the skin, including melanin, hemoglobin, water, and acne-causing bacteria. By reaching these structures without triggering surface inflammation, NeoDerm helps reduce pigmentation, redness, oil production, and breakouts. It also stimulates new collagen production for long-term skin renewal.
What sets NeoDerm apart:
Fast, high-energy pulses that avoid overheating the skin
No direct contact with the skin surface during treatment
No need for cooling devices or topical numbing
Safe for all skin tones, including richly pigmented skin
Low risk of irritation, scarring, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
This unique technology makes NeoDerm an ideal choice for patients in Maryland who want both cosmetic enhancement and support for long-term skin health.
