One laser platform can address very different concerns when treatment parameters are selected for the individual patient. Bella Derma uses Aerolase Neo Elite for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation, acne, redness, vascular concerns, hair removal, and more. When laser is one part of a broader plan, our guide to aesthetic treatment sequencing in Reno explains how Aerolase may be coordinated with injectables, PRX, microneedling, and facials.
Aerolase is not a single-purpose treatment. The Neo Elite’s 1064 nm Nd:YAG technology can be used across a range of skin tones and concerns, allowing Bella Derma to tailor treatment choice, settings, and sequence to the patient rather than forcing every concern into the same protocol.
Long-term reduction of unwanted hair across small and large treatment areas, with protocols selected for skin tone and treatment area.
Support smoother-looking skin, collagen remodeling, tone, texture, and overall rejuvenation without aggressive resurfacing.
Target active acne, inflammation, oil-related breakouts, and the appearance of post-acne marks as part of a broader acne plan.
Address melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven discoloration with pigment-aware treatment planning tailored to skin tone and recurrence risk.
Address persistent redness, flushing and visible facial vessels with symptom-specific treatment planning—and referral when rosacea needs medical management.
Target selected psoriasis plaques with Aerolase Neo Elite when appropriate, with treatment planning based on disease extent, location, symptoms, and whether dermatology co-management is needed.
Treat selected facial capillaries, spider veins and superficial vessels with laser when appropriate—and refer larger or symptomatic leg veins for medical evaluation when needed.
Treat newer and mature stretch marks with a revision plan tailored to color, texture, skin tone and scar age using Aerolase, microneedling or a staged combination when appropriate.
Aerolase Neo Elite is a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser that uses Aerolase’s 650-microsecond pulse technology. In practical terms, it gives a trained provider a versatile tool for addressing different targets in the skin while allowing treatment settings to be selected for the individual patient and concern.
That versatility is why the same platform may be used for very different goals—such as acne, unwanted hair, visible redness, pigmentation, vascular concerns, and overall skin rejuvenation. The device itself is only one part of the treatment. Skin tone, pigment history, current inflammation, medications, sun exposure, treatment goals, and how the skin has responded to prior procedures all matter when deciding whether laser treatment is appropriate.
Bella Derma uses Neo Elite as part of a consultation-first approach rather than treating every concern with the same protocol. For technical information directly from the manufacturer, visit the official Aerolase Neo Elite page.
Laser treatment should not begin with the question, “Which setting do we use?” It should begin with, “What are we actually trying to improve, and what is the safest, most useful path for this skin?”
Neo Elite’s 1064 nm wavelength is one reason Aerolase is frequently considered across a broad range of skin tones. But a device being capable of treating diverse skin types does not eliminate the need for careful assessment. Recent tanning, melasma tendency, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, active breakouts, sensitivity, medications, and the specific treatment goal can all change the plan.

Bella Derma Skin Care Solutions is a medically guided aesthetics practice in Reno led by May Belle Fellenz, APRN, MSN, FNP-BC. Our goal is not to fit every patient into a laser package. It is to determine whether Aerolase is appropriate, what concern should be treated first, and whether another modality—or no procedure at all—would make more sense.
That matters because redness, pigmentation, acne, textural change, visible vessels, and signs of aging can overlap. Two people who describe the same concern may need very different plans. Bella Derma considers skin history, goals, tolerance, timing, home care, and the sequence of treatments before recommending a path forward.
In some plans, Aerolase may stand alone. In others, it may be coordinated over time with professional skincare, PRX Derm Perfexion, microneedling or VAMP Advanced, facials, or injectables. The sequence depends on the problem being treated—not on how many services can be combined.
No. Aerolase Neo Elite is a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. IPL and BBL use broad-spectrum light filtered into ranges of wavelengths. Because the technologies interact with skin differently, the best choice depends on skin tone, the target being treated, pigment history, and treatment goals.
Aerolase positions Neo Elite for use across Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. That does not mean every treatment is appropriate for every person. Skin condition, current sun exposure, pigment history, indication, and treatment parameters still need to be evaluated individually.
Depending on the patient and indication, Neo Elite may be used for concerns including acne, unwanted hair, uneven pigmentation, visible redness, vascular concerns, and skin rejuvenation. Bella Derma evaluates the underlying concern before deciding whether laser treatment is the right tool.
Many Neo Elite treatments are designed around minimal social downtime, but the skin response varies by indication, treatment parameters, and the individual. Your provider should explain what to expect for the specific treatment being recommended.
There is no universal number. Hair reduction, acne, pigmentation, redness, and rejuvenation have different treatment timelines. Severity, biology, treatment interval, home care, and response all affect the number of sessions that may be appropriate.
Treatment sensation varies by patient, treatment area, and indication. Neo Elite is designed around short pulse delivery and patient comfort, but no responsible provider should promise that every person will feel nothing.
Start with the concern, not the procedure. A consultation allows Bella Derma to look at what you want to change, what may be causing it, whether laser is appropriate, and where Aerolase fits within the overall treatment sequence.
Two patients can have the same concern and still need different treatment plans. Bella Derma starts with skin type, goals, history, treatment tolerance, and whether another modality should come before or after laser treatment. Aerolase may be used alone or as one part of a broader skin-care plan.
Start with a consultation. Bella Derma can determine whether Aerolase is appropriate, which concern should be prioritized first, and how laser treatment fits with your other skin-care or aesthetic goals.
