Aerolase in Fleming Island: gentle laser for acne, redness, and tone
A no-contact 1064 nm laser calms active acne, rosacea, and uneven pigment. This gentle wavelength welcomes richer skin tones, and our expert providers give you an honest picture of what to expect.

Treatment Overview
What the Aerolase laser does
Aerolase Neo Elite is a 1064 nm laser that delivers rapid, no-contact pulses of light into the skin. That energy reaches the deeper structures behind several concerns at once: the bacteria and oil that drive active acne, the vessels behind rosacea and facial redness, and areas of uneven pigment. Because it is gentle and does not touch the skin, many patients find it comfortable. We were the first in the area to offer it, and it has been featured on the NBC Today Show.
The 1064 nm wavelength is also among the safer laser wavelengths for richer and deeper skin tones. That matters here, because deeper skin that is not a candidate for a light-based IPL photofacial is often a good candidate for Aerolase instead. For diffuse redness on suitable skin, Laser Genesis may fit better. Which tool is right for you is confirmed at your consultation, part of our full pigmentation and redness program, and we will tell you honestly which one your skin calls for.
Common Concerns
Where Aerolase helps most
A gentle 1064 nm laser does its clearest work on active acne, rosacea, and uneven pigment. Each concern is treated to the degree it needs, and the result develops gradually across a series as the skin calms and clears.
Active acne & breakouts
Inflamed breakouts and the bacteria and oil behind them. The 1064 nm laser reaches the deeper structures that drive acne, calming active blemishes over a series without the harshness of some older devices.
Rosacea & facial redness
The persistent flush and visible vessels of rosacea and reactive skin. Gentle, no-contact laser energy targets the redness so the complexion reads calmer and more settled across the sessions.
Uneven pigment & tone
Patchy pigment and uneven tone, including on deeper skin tones. Because 1064 nm is among the gentler wavelengths for richer skin, Aerolase is often a suitable option where IPL is not. Your consultation will confirm suitability for your specific skin.
Aerolase is often combined with skin and injectable treatments for an integrated plan, which your provider can walk through at your consultation.
Fleming Island · Northeast Florida
Why Fleming Island trusts us with Aerolase
Patients across Fleming Island come to us with acne, rosacea, and uneven tone on every skin type, and many with deeper skin have been told a laser is not for them. We reach for Aerolase because its 1064 nm wavelength is gentle enough for richer skin tones where light-based treatments fall short. And our team confirms it truly fits your skin before we begin, rather than treating everyone the same way.
Northeast Florida’s UV index climbs to extreme from spring through late summer, and sun exposure drives much of the collagen loss and visible aging we treat, so care here is as much about prevention as it is about correction.
The practice Fleming Island trusts for advanced skin care. We were the first locally to offer Aerolase, have been featured on the NBC Today Show, and have been voted the area’s best medspa six years running. We’re cared for from our Medical Spa on Island Lane.

The Pura Vida Approach
Clearer skin, honestly set expectations
Every Aerolase treatment at Pura Vida begins with an honest assessment of your skin, because the right laser depends on the individual and their skin type. If Aerolase is a good candidate for your acne, rosacea, or pigment, an experienced provider sets it conservatively and treats across a sensible series. If a different tool suits you better, we say so.
That is the difference between chasing a machine and getting care from a team that treats Aerolase as one part of a plan, part of our full lasers and devices program built around your skin and how it responds.
Is This For You?
Am I a Candidate?
A Good Fit If…
- you have active acne or frequent breakouts you want to calm
- you have rosacea, persistent facial redness, or visible vessels
- you have a deeper skin tone and have been told a light-based laser is not for you, since 1064 nm is often suitable where IPL is not
- you want uneven pigment and tone addressed and understand the result builds over a series
Let’s Talk First If…
- you have discrete brown sun spots on lighter skin, where an IPL photofacial may fit better
- you have diffuse redness on suitable skin, where Laser Genesis may suit you more
- you are pregnant or breastfeeding, so we will ask you to wait
- you are expecting a single visit to clear everything, which is not how an acne or pigment series works
If Aerolase is not the right tool for your skin, we will tell you honestly and point you toward what is, whether that is a different laser or a referral. Confirming suitability at your consultation, rather than treating everyone the same, is part of how we work.

Our Process
What to expect at your visit
First, a consultation and skin assessment
Every plan begins with an unhurried consult here in Fleming Island, including an honest look at your skin type and your concern. Because 1064 nm is gentler on richer skin tones, Aerolase is often suitable where a light-based treatment such as IPL is not, and your consult is where we confirm whether it is the right fit for you as an individual.
A plan for acne, redness, or pigment
Your provider maps what is worth treating, explains what a course of Aerolase can realistically do, and sets a sensible number of sessions. Acne and pigment respond gradually, so we set that expectation up front rather than promising a single visit will resolve everything.
A gentle, no-contact treatment
The Aerolase handpiece delivers rapid pulses of 1064 nm light without touching the skin, which many patients find comfortable and easy to tolerate. Most describe a warm sensation. Expect mild flushing afterward, which typically settles within hours to a day.
Aftercare and follow-up
We send you home with clear aftercare and, because Florida sun affects pigment and healing, guidance on daily SPF. We photograph your progress and follow up so we can space the series correctly and adjust the plan to how your skin responds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aerolase Questions, Answered
What does the Aerolase laser treat?
Aerolase Neo Elite treats active acne, rosacea and facial redness, and uneven pigment or tone, all with the same no-contact 1064 nm laser. It reaches the deeper structures behind each concern: the bacteria and oil driving acne breakouts, the vessels behind rosacea, and irregular pigment in the skin. We were the first medspa in the area to offer Aerolase, and it has been featured on the NBC Today Show.
Is Aerolase safe for darker or deeper skin tones?
Yes, Aerolase is often a good option for deeper and darker skin tones, which is one of the main reasons we added it to our laser menu. Its 1064 nm wavelength is among the gentler wavelengths available for richer skin, so it is frequently suitable where a light-based treatment like IPL is not recommended. That said, no laser suits every patient, so your provider confirms candidacy for your specific skin at a consultation rather than making a blanket promise.
How is Aerolase different from IPL or Laser Genesis?
Aerolase, IPL, and Laser Genesis treat different concerns on different skin types. IPL targets discrete brown sun spots on lighter to medium skin tones. Laser Genesis gently warms the skin to calm diffuse redness and improve texture. Aerolase, at 1064 nm, treats active acne, rosacea, and pigment, and tends to be the better fit for deeper skin tones or active acne where the other two devices do not apply. Your provider maps out which device suits your skin at your consultation.
What are the downsides or downtime of Aerolase treatment?
The main downside of Aerolase is that it works gradually: it is not a one-visit fix for acne or pigment, and results build across a series of sessions rather than a single appointment. Downtime itself is minimal. Most patients notice mild flushing or warmth in the treated area for a few hours up to about a day, then return to their normal routine. Because the treatment is no-contact and gentle, it fits easily around a normal week for most people.
How many Aerolase sessions will I need to see results for acne or redness?
Most patients need a series of Aerolase sessions rather than one visit to see meaningful improvement in acne, rosacea, or pigment. Your provider sets the exact number at your consultation based on how active or widespread the concern is, and often pairs Aerolase with a supporting skincare plan. Building the result across a course produces a steadier, more lasting outcome than forcing it with one aggressive session.
Where can I get Aerolase treatments near Fleming Island?
Pura Vida offers Aerolase at our Medical Spa on Island Lane in Fleming Island, FL, and welcomes patients from Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, and greater Jacksonville. We were the first medspa in the region to offer Aerolase, and we have been voted the best medspa in the area six years running. Because the Jacksonville area sees an Extreme UV Index of 10 to 11 from April through August, gentle treatment for sun-driven redness and pigment is especially relevant for skin here.
