The Protocol

Three acts, no intermission.

The treatment

Light, delivered precisely

The Neo delivers 1064 nm laser energy in 650 microsecond pulses: long enough to reach the target, brief enough to spare the surrounding skin. It calms the bacteria and inflammation that drive acne, tightens the look of pores, and encourages collagen where age has been editing your face without permission. No numbing, no gel, no recovery.

Who it is for

Skin that wants results without a recovery plan

Because the Neo works without injuring the surface, it is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper skin tones that many lasers cannot treat. It suits active acne, rosacea prone redness, post inflammatory marks, and clients who simply cannot build downtime into their calendar.

What to expect

Warmth, then glow

Most clients describe a series of warm pulses, entirely tolerable. Skin may look faintly flushed for an hour or two. Makeup can go on the same day. Results build across the series as inflammation quiets and collagen does its slow, well mannered work.

Most clients find it very comfortable: brief pulses of warmth without numbing cream. It is one of the gentlest lasers in aesthetics, which is precisely the point of its 650 microsecond technology.

Is it safe for darker skin tones? +

Yes. The Neo was designed to treat all Fitzpatrick skin types safely, which is rare among lasers and one of the reasons we chose it.

How many sessions will I need? +

Most concerns respond best to a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart, then periodic maintenance. Your plan is confirmed at your consultation.
