Beyond Standard Procedures: How Aerolase Treats Acne, Melasma, Rosacea, and Rejuvenation Differently
Discover how microsecond vs picosecond lasers treat acne, melasma, and rosacea differently. Expert comparison of Nd:YAG, IPL, diode, and Er:YAG platforms.

What's the difference between long-pulse and short-pulse lasers? Which laser technology treats acne most effectively? Can picosecond lasers safely treat melasma? How does 1064nm Nd:YAG compare to picosecond technology for skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation?
Join Jodi Cordrey, RN, and Dana Greenhalgh, LE, for a comprehensive comparison of laser technologies used to treat acne, melasma, and rosacea. See how wavelength and pulse duration truly shape clinical outcomes, and unpack the physics and trade-offs between leading platforms, including 1064 nm Nd:YAG, 1726 nm, IPL, 2940 nm Er:YAG, CO₂, Q-switched, and picosecond systems.
Key Topics:
- Long- vs short-pulse laser physics: How microsecond, millisecond, nanosecond, and picosecond pulse durations change thermal delivery, selectivity, and patient experience.
- Acne treatment protocol showdown: Comparing clinical outcomes for acne vulgaris across 1064 nm Nd:YAG, IPL, 1726 nm, and microsecond laser systems.
- Melasma management without backlash: Why traditional picosecond laser strategies can worsen hyperpigmentation, and how to approach melasma more safely and predictably.
- Skin regeneration with minimal downtime: 2940 nm Er:YAG microsecond technology vs traditional erbium and CO2 lasers for skin resurfacing and ablative rejuvenation.
- Laser practice ROI, simplified: Multi-indication workhorses vs single-purpose devices, and how each model impacts revenue growth, utilization, and patient retention.
Whether you're evaluating your first laser investment or expanding your current technology offerings, we’re handing over the keys to the clinical insights and competitive analysis to help you make an informed decision.

Presented by Jodi Cordrey, RN
Before finding her true passion in Aesthetics Medicine, she worked for 21 years as an ICU nurse. In 2018, she started her aesthetics career at Strella Medical Aesthetics, in Lower Gwynedd, PA, where she thrives as the lead nurse. In addition to educating herself, she is committed to training others, while helping them advance their career in medical aesthetics. She taught a 5 day comprehensive laser course as well as Microneedling and injectables classes at Strella for 3 years before becoming a clinical trainer with Aerolase. Both in practice and at training, Jodi loves the technology the Aerolase lasers offer and the ability to perform combination treatments on all skin types, during every season.
