— Our Approach
Targeted treatment, quickly delivered.
Discrete facial vessels are one of the most satisfying things to treat — the result is often visible within days.
— The Technology
650 microseconds of precision.
The Aerolase Neo's 650-microsecond pulse targets the hemoglobin inside small blood vessels, causing the vessel to collapse without damage to surrounding tissue.
It's contactless. No cooling gel, no anesthetic — and for individual vessels, the treatment session itself is often just a few minutes.

Good questions. Simple answers.
If you don't see your question here, our team is happy to answer it during your free consultation.
Is the treatment safe for darker skin tones?
The Aerolase Neo is FDA-cleared for use on all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI), including melanin-rich skin. Its short 650-microsecond pulse is designed to minimize the heat-related side effects that can be a concern with some traditional treatments. Any treatment risks specific to your skin will be reviewed during your complimentary consultation.
Why do these vessels appear?
Many factors — sun damage, aging, genetics, rosacea, and trauma can all contribute. Your consultation includes a brief history review to inform treatment and prevention.
Will the same vessels come back?
Treated vessels typically don't return, though new vessels can form over time. Maintenance is usually about treating any new vessels rather than retreating the original ones.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a series of brief, warm pulses. The treatment is contactless and doesn't typically require numbing, though sensitivity varies. If you have particularly sensitive skin, let your provider know during the consultation and they'll adjust the protocol.
Can you treat vessels around the eyes?
Yes, with appropriate eye protection. Periocular vessels are commonly treated with the Aerolase Neo.
Is there any downtime?
Most clients return to their day right after a session. You may see brief redness or warmth in the treated area for a few hours. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided based on your treatment.
