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

Acne & Rosacea Treatment
“After 20+ years of breakouts, she suggested I might have rosacea. The results were so immediate that I was actually frustrated — frustrated that no one else had made that distinction in the decades I spent seeking help before.”

Skin Treatment

Laser & Aesthetic Treatment
“The only one I trust with my treatments. My skin looks better than it ever has. Life-changing doesn’t feel like an exaggeration.”
Real Answers. Not Marketing Copy.
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.
