Testimonials

Khalil Khatri, MD, The Skin & Laser Surgery Center of New England , Chelmsford, MA

I use 30 different lasers in my three practices and have used Diode, IPL, Alexandrite and Nd:YAG for laser hair removal. Aerolase works well and is very safe on all skin types. I would definitely buy it again.
David Goldberg, MD, Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of New York and New Jersey

LightPod Neo effectively treats facial telangiectasias without any observed complications. My patients experienced significant, and even dramatic, improvements after two treatments.
James Newman, MD, Premier Plastic Surgery, San Mateo CA

The Era is unique in causing less erythema and discomfort without sacrificing results. In one treatment with Era I can achieve more profound wrinkle and pigmentation reduction than in 4 fractional resurfacing treatments and with less discomfort and downtime
Michael Gold, MD, The Gold Skincare Center, Nashville, TN

The LightPod Era gives a physician the capability of a suitcase-sized erbium laser for full-face resurfacing, yet the energy can be turned down to perform laser peels. This device should be in every dermatologist’s office.
Fran Cook-Bolden, MD, Skin Specialty Dermatology, New York, NY

The LightPod Neo is unique in providing high efficacy while being gentler and safer on skin of color. Treatment pain is less and we don’t need to use anesthetics. Results have been impressive and patients are very happy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Company

Why is the LightPod Neo so safe and gentle on Skin of Color and tanned skin?

The Neo’s unique 0.65msec pulse duration is shorter than the Thermal Relaxation Time of the skin tissue, so the energy passes through the skin quickly and does not overheat the epidermal melanin. When treating skin of color, this provides new levels of efficacy as well as safety by avoiding pigmentary risk. Also, because skin cooling is not necessary during treatment, the handpiece of the Neo does not contact the skin – thereby reducing treatment time in a hygienic procedure while eliminating the irritating skin contact of other laser technologies.
Aerolase Technology

How were you able to get so much power out of such a small laser?

LightPod laser technology includes a direct beam of laser light from the handpiece, thus eliminating the optical losses of the other laser systems that transmit the light through fibers and optical components. As a result the power is much higher, which enables the laser to achieve high fluences in a shorter and gentler pulse duration. This is known as MicroPulse-1064 ™ technology.

What makes LightPod lasers so high in ROI (Return on Investment)?

LightPod laser technology has revolutionized the aesthetic laser by eliminating two major subsystems from the prior generation of lasers: the water circulating system, and the fiber optic lightguide. Both contribute to the exorbitant size, weight and cost of those stationary lasers, and both are common service and repair troublepoints, so that cost and hassle are eliminated. Also there are no costly per-use consumables with Aerolase. LightPod lasers also are uniquely versatile in terms of both application range and treatable skin types, and they are portable (at 22 lbs. each) for revenue generation in multiple spa or clinic locations. When you combine this maximized revenue opportunity with minimized cost of ownership, you have the best ROI in the business.

Treatments

Can I combine LightPod laser treatments with toxins and fillers?

The LightPod Neo is frequently used in combination with injectables. Unlike other lasers which are harsh on the skin, the Neo is so gentle that the practitioner can combine laser treatment and toxin or filler injections in a single office visit. This saves a significant amount of time and avoids scheduling hassles for the patient and practitioner. Furthermore, clinical research has shown that, by preheating the skin prior to making the injections with the Neo, there is a noticeable reduction in the pain, bruising and swelling typically caused by the injections.

What makes Aerolase LightPod lasers so easy and safe to delegate the treatments?

All LightPod lasers represent a new technology platform, delivering a uniquely gentle pulse duration that makes the treatments much safer and gentler. The operator interface and control panel are very simple and easy to understand with a minimum number of settings and buttons, and no complex software. Furthermore, the lasers include many safety features that help to prevent operator error in terms of setting the laser parameters.
