Combat Summer Acne: How Aerolase Neo Elite® Can Help
As you’re preparing for another busy summer at your practice, it’s common for many of your patients to have similar stories to Emily's. Emily, a young adult who eagerly anticipated her beach vacation, had walked into her local dermatologist's office with a sense of dread. Her face was marked by stubborn acne, exacerbated by the hot and humid summer weather. Emily's self-esteem was at an all-time low, and she feared her breakouts would worsen as the temperature rose.
Treating acne during the summer poses unique challenges. Heat and humidity often lead to increased oil production and clogged pores, exacerbating acne. Moreover, traditional acne treatments like topical retinoids or antibiotics sometimes cause photosensitivity, making them less ideal during sunny months. Emily needed a solution that could offer effective, fast-acting results without the downtime that would keep her indoors.
This is when the Aerolase Neo Elite® came into play.
The Challenges of Managing Acne in Hot and Humid Weather
Summer weather can be a nightmare for acne-prone skin. The combination of sweat, excess oil production, and prolonged sun exposure creates a perfect storm for breakouts. Traditional acne treatments can often fall short during these months. Topical treatments may irritate sun-exposed skin, and oral medications can take weeks to show results, not to mention the potential for side effects, including increased sun sensitivity.
For medical professionals, finding a solution that works quickly and effectively without the drawbacks of traditional treatments is crucial, especially during the summer.
“Though he was on Accutane - he was still suffering from acne that was visible. And with the Neo, we were able to clear his acne and also clear the hyperpigmentation, which were the residual signs of acne.”
—Nazanin Saedi, MD, Associate Dermatologists of Plymouth Meeting
Patients often face limited treatment options, typically relying on traditional medications such as topicals, steroids, and prescription creams. However, these conventional therapies can be insufficient, uncomfortable, or cause unwanted side effects. As a result, there is a growing demand for alternative therapies that are not only simple and comfortable but also offer better efficacy. This surge in interest underscores the need for innovative solutions that provide effective, patient-friendly treatments for acne, thereby enhancing patient satisfaction and outcomes.
How Aerolase Neo Elite® Effectively Treats Acne Without Downtime
The Aerolase Neo Elite® offers a breakthrough solution for acne treatment, especially suited for the summer months. This advanced laser technology harnesses the power of a 1064nm laser to penetrate the skin deeply and target the root causes of acne—sebum production, inflammation, and P. acnes bacteria. Here’s how it works:
- Deep Penetration
The Neo’s 1064nm wavelength and 650-microsecond pulse penetrates deeply into the skin to reduce sebum production and kill acne-causing bacteria.
- Minimal Discomfort
The treatment is virtually painless, with patients experiencing a mild warming sensation.
- No Downtime
Unlike other treatments, patients can return to their daily activities immediately, making it ideal for those on the go during the summer.
- Safe for All Skin Types
Aerolase Neo Elite® is FDA-cleared for all skin types, meaning it can effectively and safely treat patients with varying skin tones.
Mechanism of Action
The laser energy coagulates the inflammation of active acne and heats the sebaceous glands to reduce sebum output. The lasers energy's heat destroys the c. acnes bacteria.
After treatment, sebum output normalizes to a healthy function.
Clinical Evidence Supporting Aerolase Neo Elite®
Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of the Aerolase Neo Elite® in treating acne. In a study involving patients with varying severities of acne, 87% saw a significant reduction in their acne lesions 90 days post-treatment.1 Moreover, these results were achieved without the common side effects associated with traditional treatments, such as dryness or irritation. In the same study, patient satisfaction rates ranged from 90-95% during and after the treatment course.1
