‍

Watch board-certified dermatologist Dr. Andrew Alexis present during a live Neo Elite laser treatment on a patient with melasma and acne. This detailed clinical demonstration provides a comprehensive breakdown of evidence-based treatment protocols for two of the most common skin concerns.

Melasma Treatment Protocol with Neo Elite: Dr. Alexis demonstrates his exact melasma treatment approach, including the number of passes, optimal energy settings (joules), and why Aerolase's 650-microsecond pulse duration technology effectively targets excess melanin while remaining safe for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI. Learn the clinical rationale behind the Neo Elite's superior efficacy for treating melasma compared to traditional laser systems.

Acne Treatment Protocol - Evidence-Based Approach: Dr. Alexis reviews the Neo Elite's proven acne protocol, citing Dr. Omer Saedi's peer-reviewed clinical study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD). Discover how the 1064nm wavelength targets sebaceous glands and inflammatory acne lesions without damaging surrounding tissue.

Clinical Flexibility:

• Using Neo Elite as monotherapy for acne and melasma
• Adjunctive treatment alongside topical retinoids, hydroquinone, or oral therapies
• Combination treatment strategies for optimal patient outcomes

Why Neo Elite for Pigmentation and Acne:

• 650-microsecond pulse duration enables safer treatment across all skin tones
• Non-ablative, no downtime treatment approach
• Dual-indication capability treats melasma and acne in single sessions
• Minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
