WHAT IS AEROLASE?
Advanced Laser Technology, Gentle on Your Skin
Aerolase® is a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with more than 30 FDA-cleared indications. It uses ultra-short 650-microsecond pulses to deliver energy beneath the skin’s surface while protecting the outer layer, so it treats underlying concerns without excessive heat or surface injury.
Depending on the setting, the energy targets pigment, blood vessels, acne bacteria, or hair follicles. Over time, your body clears unwanted pigment, collagen production increases, inflammation calms, and hair growth slows. It’s safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI, including darker and sensitive skin.
