Aerolase NEO — Acne & Rosacea Laser Treatment · Rapid City, SD

Finally — A Laser That Treats the Root of Your Acne and Rosacea. Not Just the Surface.

The Aerolase NEO uses 650-microsecond technology to suppress inflammation, destroy acne-causing bacteria, and reduce rosacea redness — simultaneously. No medications. No downtime. No skin contact required.

No commitment required. Consultations are personalized to your specific skin.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You've Tried the Prescriptions.
You've Done the Protocols.
You're Still Here.

You’ve done everything a motivated, intelligent person does when they want to fix their skin. The antibiotics. The prescription retinoids. The skincare regimens you built with care. The facials. The dietary changes. And somehow, here you are. What makes it worse is the visibility of it. In meetings. In photos. In the mirror before a big day. The flush that creeps across your cheeks. The breakout that surfaces right when it matters most. You’ve been told it’s “just rosacea” — as if that makes it less real.
A plan built around your specific skin — not a template.

HOW THE AEROLASE NEO WORKS

One Device. Three Root Causes.
The Problem Your Skincare Misses.

Topical treatments work at the surface. Antibiotics work systemically. The Aerolase NEO works at the biological level both miss — targeting the three root causes of acne and rosacea simultaneously, in a single 10–30 minute session.

Excess Sebum

The NEO’s 650-microsecond energy penetrates deep into the dermis to reduce sebum production in the glands that drive acne — not just surface-level oil control.

C. Acnes Bacteria

Deep-penetrating laser energy destroys acne-causing bacteria embedded in pores — without medications, without antibiotic resistance, without gut disruption.

Inflammation + Rosacea

For rosacea patients: the same technology suppresses vascular inflammation driving chronic redness and coagulates the unwanted capillaries feeding persistent flushing.

650 microseconds

The ultra-short pulse duration delivers high energy without overheating surrounding tissue — which is exactly why this device is safe for all skin tones, including patients who have been told by other providers they are not laser candidates. The NEO eliminates the melanocyte overheating that causes PIH in darker skin types. Clinical research, including studies at Howard University Medical School, confirms safety and efficacy across all Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI.

SAFE FOR YOUR SKIN

Whether You've Been Told You're Not a Laser Candidate — or You've Just Been Burned Before — This Is Worth Reading.

The NEO treats the full range of conditions you have been managing for years. More importantly, it does so safely across all skin tones — including patients who have been dismissed by other providers.

Safe for Your Skin Tone — Including Darker Complexions

The NEO was specifically engineered to eliminate the melanocyte overheating that causes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin types. Clinical studies — including research at Howard University Medical School — confirm safety and efficacy across all Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI, year-round. If a previous provider told you that you weren’t a laser candidate, they may have been right about their device. Not this one.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What a Treatment Actually Looks Like

No ambiguity. No surprises. Here’s exactly what happens — before, during, and after.

01

Personalized Consultation

Courtney or Marie reviews your specific skin type, concerns, and history. A protocol is designed around you — not a template applied to everyone.

02

10–30 Min Session

No numbing cream required. No skin cooling. No skin contact. Most patients describe a mild warming sensation — that’s it.

03

Zero Downtime

Return to normal activities immediately. No peeling, no recovery period, no hiding. You walk out looking like yourself.

04

Results Build

Visible improvement typically begins in 3–4 treatments for acne. Rosacea patients often see measurable redness reduction after just 1–2 sessions.

THE TEAM BEHIND YOUR TREATMENT

Clinical Expertise. Not Technicians Running a Default Setting.

NEO’s outcomes are entirely dependent on the clinical judgment of who designs your protocol. LiveWell’s team brings a level of credentialed expertise that esthetician-run clinics simply cannot match.

YOUR BIGGEST QUESTIONS — ANSWERED HONESTLY

Real Answers. Not Marketing Copy.

The questions worth asking before you book — and the direct answers they deserve.

This is a valid question from someone who's been disappointed repeatedly — and it deserves a real answer. The NEO is fundamentally different because it works at a level topical treatments cannot reach: it suppresses sebum production, destroys C. acnes bacteria, and reduces the underlying inflammation — in a single device, without medications, without skin contact, and without PIH risk. That's a different category of intervention, not a better version of what you've already tried.

This is a well-founded concern with older vascular lasers. The NEO's 650-microsecond pulse duration was specifically engineered to be highly tolerable for vascular and rosacea-prone patients — suppressing inflammation rather than triggering it. LiveWell's providers assess each patient's specific rosacea triggers and skin reactivity before treatment. The outcome you're worried about is the exact outcome this technology was designed to prevent.

 

This is one of the NEO's most significant clinical advantages. Its 650-microsecond technology eliminates the overheating of epidermal melanocytes that causes PIH in darker skin types — the exact problem that makes many laser systems unsuitable for Fitzpatrick III–VI skin. Clinical studies, including research at Howard University Medical School, validate safety and efficacy across all skin tones. If a previous provider said you weren't a candidate, they may have been right about their device — not this one.

 

Acne protocols typically require 3–6 initial treatments. Many patients see significant clearance in the first few sessions. Your specific timeline is discussed openly at consultation — no pressure, no surprises. Compared to the ongoing cost of prescriptions, skincare regimens, and concealing products, a defined treatment series that actually resolves the problem is the better picture financially and emotionally.

 

LiveWell is one of the only practices in the Black Hills operating the Aerolase NEO device. The broader differentiation is clinical: Courtney and her team have built their reputation — through hundreds of patient reviews — for individualized protocols, honest advice, and results that match what was promised. Patients travel from outside Rapid City specifically to see this team. The reviews are the proof.

This is something we take seriously — and it's reflected in how every appointment is structured. Courtney explains every step, answers every question, and makes recommendations based on your goals — never on upselling. If something isn't right for you at this time, she'll tell you that too.

YOUR RISK REMOVAL

What Removes Your Risk

We don’t offer empty performance guarantees. What we offer is better: a treatment whose properties remove the risk before you begin.

The LiveWell Treatment Promise

No skin cooling, no anesthetics, no skin contact — so there’s no reaction risk from applicators. No medications, so no systemic side-effect risk. FDA-cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI — so no PIH risk for darker skin tones. And no treatment at LiveWell without a personalized protocol designed for your specific skin. We won’t put you into a treatment that isn’t right for you. That’s not a guarantee — it’s a standard. And it’s backed by hundreds of patient reviews saying exactly that.

WHY NOW

Rosacea Doesn't Pause While You Decide.

Chronic acne and rosacea are progressive inflammatory conditions. Each cycle of inadequate treatment leaves behind additional post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, scarring, and vascular damage that becomes progressively harder to address. The earlier you treat it, the fewer sessions it takes to resolve.
