— Our Approach
Targeted laser for surface vessels.
Whether on the face, legs, or elsewhere, surface vascular concerns share a common approach: short-pulse energy that targets the vessel and leaves the surrounding skin largely untouched.
— The Technology
650 microseconds of precision.
The Aerolase Neo's 650-microsecond pulse targets hemoglobin inside small visible vessels, causing the vessel to collapse over time without damage to surrounding tissue.
It's contactless. No cooling gel, no anesthetic — appropriate for vessels in a range of locations and skin types.

Learn about Skincare— What to Expect
A clear path.
Most surface vessels respond well to a short series of focused sessions.
01
— Consultation
Free assessment.
Your esthetician reviews your skin, history, medications, and goals. You'll leave with a treatment plan, an honest timeline, and clear pricing — no pressure.
02
— Treatment
In-office sessions.
Each Aerolase session typically runs 20–30 minutes. The treatment is contactless and most clients return to their day right after, with little to no downtime.

One to three visits.
Sessions are spaced 3–6 weeks apart. Treated vessels typically begin to fade within days, with continued clearing in the weeks that follow.
04

Stay protected.
Habits that support your specific vascular concern — SPF, trigger management, circulation support — help reduce the development of new vessels.
— Common Questions
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.
What kinds of vessels can be treated?
Small benign surface vessels — including facial broken capillaries, leg spider veins, and similar — are within scope. Larger varicose veins and vessels requiring sclerotherapy are outside our scope, and we'll refer you to a qualified specialist when appropriate.
Will the vessels come back?
Treated vessels typically don't return, but new vessels can develop with various contributing factors. Maintenance addresses any new vessels rather than retreating the originals.
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.
Are some vessels easier to treat than others?
Yes. Smaller, more defined vessels often respond faster than larger or diffuse ones. Your consultation includes an honest assessment of expected outcomes for your specific vessels.
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.
