3 Million Pulses Later with Dr. Suneel Chilukuri: What I Do Today vs. 10 Years Ago with Aerolase Neo
Dr. Suneel Chilukuri shares how his Aerolase Neo protocols, settings and skin-of-color approach have evolved over 10 years and 3 million pulses.
Ten years ago, Dr. Suneel Chilukuri fired his first pulse of Aerolase Neo. More than 3 million pulses later, very little about how he treats looks the same.
The settings, the treatment intervals, the conditions he reaches for Neo to treat, even the patients he treats with it: nearly every part of his approach has been tested, questioned and refined over a decade of daily use. Some techniques he once relied on, he's left behind. Others he barely considered in those early years have become central to his practice.
In this session, Dr. Chilukuri puts his approach from ten years ago side by side with what he does today. He explains what changed, why it changed, and the moments that made him rethink what he thought he knew. It's an unfiltered look at how one of dermatology's most recognized names has refined his work with Neo, one pulse at a time.

- How his approach to treating darker skin types has evolved
