What is Aerolase Laser? The Gentle power behind Toronto's top skin treatment

Aerolase laser is a pain free laser yet effective skin treatment that works for all skin types. Some traditional laser treatments require downtime for your skin. The gentle yet powerful approach offers a solution for stubborn ace scars and signs of aging. At Bar Beauty Medical we are offering this groundbreaking Aerolase Neo Elite technology that treats 36 different skin conditions in one single device. Transforming our clients skin dealing with unwanted pigmentation, rosacea, or simply a refreshed complexion. Laser treatments require downtime and can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful. Aerolase represents a new generation of lasers that will not require you to take a week off to recover. The Aerolase technology lies in its 650 microsend pulse laser.

Understanding Aerolase Laser Technology: The Science Behind the Results

Aerolase Neo Elite is a state of the art ND:YAG laser system set apart from conventional laser treatments utilizing 650 microsends while other lasers use longer pulse duration and heat causing potential discomfort especially in those with darker skin tone. The 650 microsend technology is faster than the skins thermal relaxation time. The energy reaches its target without allowing heat to spread to surrounding tissue.  The laser targets three key chromophores in your skin: melanin, hemoglobin, and water. The triple targeting capability allows it to address multiple skin concerns at once. The goal is to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, eliminate acne causing bacteria and break down excess pigmentation, also collapsing unwanted blood vessels. Aerolase can achieve all these results without damaging any surrounding healthy skin tissue. The Aerolase Neo Elite laser is FDA cleared and Health Canada approved for all skin types. Safely treating melanin rich skin without the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns.

What Skin Conditions Can Aerolase Laser Treat?

Aerolase laser is recognized for its versatility. This single device can address a range of skin concerns. Making it one of our most used tools at Bar Beauty Medical for:

Acne and Acne Scarring: The NeoClear treatment by Aerolase targets all major acne factors simultaneously. The laser energy penetrates deep into the sebaceous glands to reduce oil production, eliminates p.acnes bacteria that cause breakouts, and reduces the inflammation that leads to scarring. Unlike topical treatments that can take months to work, patients often see improvement in active acne within just a few sessions. For existing acne scars, the laser stimulates collagen remodeling to smooth texture and improve skin appearance.

Rosacea and Facial Redness: If you struggle with persistent facial redness, broken capillaries, or rosacea flare-ups, Aerolase offers hope. The laser targets hemoglobin in the unwanted blood vessels, causing them to collapse and be naturally absorbed by your body. It also reduces inflammation at the cellular level, providing long-term relief from redness rather than just temporary cosmetic coverage.

Hyperpigmentation and Melasma: Brown spots, age spots, sun damage, and melasma can be notoriously difficult to treat, especially for those with darker skin tones who risk making pigmentation worse with traditional treatments. The Aerolase laser safely breaks down excess melanin deposits in both the epidermis and dermis while controlling the vascular component that often contributes to melasma. This comprehensive approach addresses the root causes rather than just surface discoloration.

Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and Skin Laxity: The NeoSkin rejuvenation treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production deep in the dermis. This helps tighten loose skin, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, minimize pore size, and improve overall skin texture. The result is firmer, more youthful-looking skin without the need for invasive procedures or extended recovery periods.

Additional Conditions: Aerolase effectively treats spider veins, pseudofolliculitis barbae (ingrown hairs and razor bumps), psoriasis, skin tags, unwanted hair, surgical scars, stretch marks, and numerous other dermatological and aesthetic concerns. This versatility means you can address multiple skin issues with a single treatment modality.

The Aerolase Treatment Experience: What to Expect at Bar Beauty Medical

BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT

At Bar Beauty Medical we’ve streamlined the process for a tailored treatment plan for your specific concerns.

Initial Consultation: Your Aerolase journey begins with a comprehensive skin assessment. Our experienced practitioners will examine your skin, discuss your concerns, review your medical history, and determine if Aerolase is the right solution for you. We'll create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs, including the recommended number of sessions and expected timeline for results.

Preparation: On treatment day, arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or oils. Unlike many laser treatments, Aerolase requires no numbing creams or topical anesthetics. You'll be provided protective eyewear, and we'll ensure you're comfortable before beginning.

During Treatment: The actual Aerolase laser treatment is remarkably comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warming feeling or light snapping against the skin—far more tolerable than traditional lasers. Treatment time varies depending on the area being addressed, typically ranging from 15 to 45 minutes. The laser handpiece delivers precise pulses of energy to target areas, and you can even resume conversation during the procedure.

Immediate Aftermath: You may experience slight redness or warmth in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours. Unlike ablative lasers that leave skin raw and require significant healing time, Aerolase allows you to return to normal activities immediately. You can even apply makeup right after treatment if desired.

Post-Treatment Care: Following your Aerolase session, we'll provide specific aftercare instructions. Generally, this includes avoiding direct sun exposure for about a week, using broad-spectrum sunscreen, and avoiding harsh exfoliants or active ingredients like retinols for a few days. You should avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours to minimize any potential irritation.

Treatment Schedule: While some improvement may be visible after a single session, optimal results typically require a series of treatments. Most patients undergo 4-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, depending on the condition being treated. Your practitioner will customize the treatment schedule based on your skin's response and your aesthetic goals.

Why Aerolase Laser Stands Out: Benefits That Matter

Safe for All Skin Types: Perhaps the most significant benefit is Aerolase's safety profile for darker skin tones. Traditional lasers carry a high risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V, and VI. The Aerolase laser's ultra-short pulse duration prevents epidermal melanocytes from overheating, eliminating this risk. Toronto's diverse population can finally access advanced laser treatments safely.

No Downtime Required: In today's busy world, most people cannot afford days or weeks of recovery from cosmetic procedures. Aerolase treatments require zero downtime. You can schedule a session during your lunch break and return to work immediately afterward. This convenience factor makes consistent treatment schedules much easier to maintain.

Comfortable Treatment Experience: The 650-microsecond technology delivers energy so quickly that it bypasses the pain receptors in your skin. No numbing creams, no ice packs, no anesthesia—just comfortable, tolerable treatment that most patients find surprisingly pleasant compared to their expectations.

Versatility and Efficiency: Rather than needing different devices or multiple treatment modalities to address various skin concerns, Aerolase can treat dozens of conditions with one system. This versatility makes it possible to customize treatments and address multiple issues in a single session, saving time and money while delivering comprehensive results.

FDA-Cleared and Health Canada-Approved: Aerolase Neo Elite isn't experimental technology—it's been rigorously tested and approved by regulatory bodies for safety and efficacy. This provides peace of mind that you're receiving evidence-based treatment backed by clinical research.

Long-Lasting Results: While individual results vary, many patients enjoy long-lasting improvements from their Aerolase treatments. The collagen stimulation, bacterial elimination, and vascular reduction create foundational changes in your skin health, not just temporary surface improvements.

Minimal Side Effects: The precision of Aerolase technology significantly reduces the risk of adverse effects like blistering, burning, scarring, or prolonged hyperpigmentation that can occur with other laser systems. The most common side effect is temporary mild redness that resolves within hours.

Aerolase Laser vs. Traditional Skin Treatments: Making the Right Choice

To fully appreciate what Aerolase laser is, it helps to understand how it compares to other popular skin treatments available in Toronto's aesthetic medicine landscape.

Aerolase vs. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): While IPL can address pigmentation and redness, it uses broadspectrum light rather than laser energy, making it less precise and potentially less effective. IPL also carries higher risks for darker skin tones. Aerolase's laser technology provides deeper penetration, more precise targeting, and safer treatment for all skin types.

Aerolase vs. Traditional Fractional Lasers: Fractional CO2 and erbium lasers are effective for skin resurfacing but involve significant discomfort, downtime (often 7-14 days), and risk of complications. These ablative lasers remove the top layers of skin, requiring healing time. Aerolase is non ablative, meaning it doesn't damage the skin surface while still delivering deep therapeutic benefits.

Aerolase vs. Chemical Peels: Chemical peels can improve texture and pigmentation but require recovery time, can be uncomfortable, and carry risks for darker skin tones. Aerolase provides similar benefits with no peeling, no downtime, and safer outcomes across all skin types.

Aerolase vs. Microneedling: Microneedling with or without radiofrequency (RF) can stimulate collagen, but it involves creating controlled injury to the skin, which means some downtime and potential for infection or scarring. Aerolase achieves similar collagen stimulation without breaking the skin barrier.

Aerolase vs. Oral/Topical Acne Medications: Traditional acne treatments often involve long-term use of antibiotics, retinoids, or isotretinoin, all of which carry potential side effects. Aerolase offers a drug-free alternative that addresses acne from multiple angles without systemic effects or the need for extensive laboratory monitoring.

The choice between treatments depends on your specific concerns, skin type, lifestyle, and goals. At Bar Beauty Medical, we can help you determine if Aerolase is the right solution or if combining it with other modalities would optimize your results.
