Skin of Color
Patients of all skin types and tones are searching for the next best thing for their dermatologic and aesthetic needs. This is especially true for skin of color patients who are limited to specific treatments that at times give ineffective results.
How does Aerolase work for skin of color?
The Neo is able to safely treat skin of color patients by using laser energy that can pass through the epidermis so quickly that it does not have time to overheat the epidermal melanocytes, thus avoiding the pigmentary risk associated with most laser systems. With Neo, not only is the treatment safer and much more pleasant than any other laser on the market, but it is also more efficacious, delivering the sought-after result with a lesser number of treatments thanks to its unique blend of high-powered yet gentle laser pulses. Package starting at $2000 and includes aftercare.
Key Benefits
- Quick and Safe: 650-microsecond pulse duration ensures rapid energy delivery without overheating the skin.
- Quick Recovery: Patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
- Ideal for Darker Skin Types: Safe and effective for skin types IV through VI.
What Is Pseudofolliculitis Barbae?
Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (commonly called PFB, ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or beard bumps) is a frustrating and often painful condition caused by shaving. It typically appears on the face and neck and can lead to redness, hyperpigmentation, scarring, and ongoing irritation. While anyone can develop PFB, it is especially common in patients with darker skin types, including tanned skin and Fitzpatrick types IV through VI, due to the natural curl of the hair shaft.
For many, traditional treatment options offer only temporary relief. Topical creams, antibiotics, and at-home remedies often fail to address both the inflammation and pigmentation that make PFB so persistent. That’s where Aerolase technology sets itself apart.
Why the Aerolase Neo laser?
The Aerolase Neo is a state-of-the-art medical aesthetic laser that has revolutionized the treatment of PFB. Its 650-microsecond pulse duration is 50 to 500 times shorter than that of traditional hair removal lasers. This breakthrough allows energy to pass quickly through the skin without overheating the epidermal melanin. In simple terms, the laser precisely targets the hair follicle and surrounding hyperpigmentation while leaving the skin’s surface safe and comfortable.
This advanced approach makes the Neo uniquely effective for treating PFB in all skin tones, including darker complexions that are often at higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation from other laser systems. Patients finally have a safe, effective, and tolerable option to reduce bumps, smooth the skin, and restore confidence.
Skin of Color and the Neo Advantage
Patients with skin of color often face limited choices when it comes to dermatologic and aesthetic treatments. Many lasers on the market carry risks of burns, pigment changes, or scarring when used on darker skin. The Aerolase Neo changes this narrative by delivering energy so rapidly that melanocytes in the epidermis are not overheated.
This means:
- Safer treatments for skin of color without pigmentary risk.
- More comfortable sessions with little to no discomfort.
- Fewer treatments needed thanks to the Neo’s blend of power and gentleness.
At Spa La La, we are proud to offer this advanced technology to ensure all clients have equal access to safe and effective solutions for their skin concerns.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your PFB treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin and hair type. During the session, the Aerolase Neo handpiece will deliver short, gentle pulses of light to the affected area. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth, with no pain or downtime.
Because the Neo targets both the follicle and the surrounding pigmentation, clients typically notice improvements in bumps and discoloration within a series of treatments. Aftercare is simple and may include hydrating skincare and sun protection to support long-lasting results.
Packages start at $2,000 and include aftercare products to help maintain your skin’s clarity and health.
