New Acne Laser for Darker Skin as Seen on The Doctors
Introduction
Acne can be challenging for any patient—but for individuals with darker skin tones, finding safe and effective solutions has often beeneven more difficult. Traditional treatments like topical or oral medications may fall short, and historically, laser options posed a higher risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation, burns, or scarring. That’s changing—thanks to advancements in laser technology. In a featured segment onThe Doctors, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Glynis Ablon introduced the Aerolase Neo Elite®, a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser that’s redefining how acne is treated—especially for patients with skin of color. This innovative device utilizes a unique 650-microsecond pulse duration to deliver energy deep within the skin, targeting acne-causing bacteria and inflammation with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissue. What makes it ideal for darker skin types? TheNeo Elite’s short pulse duration and lack of epidermal melanin absorption allow providers to safely and effectively treat Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI without the common risks associated with conventional lasers. The treatment is quick, well-tolerated, and typically requires only three to five sessions for visible improvement in active acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Dr. Ablon emphasized that patients experience little to no discomfort, making it an excellent option for practices looking to elevate patient experience while expanding treatment options for underserved skin types.
