The Future Of Advanced Laser Skin Care Is Here!

The Aerolase Era offers a premium solution for eliminating visible signs of aging on the face, neck, chest, and hands. The Aerolase Era is FDA-cleared for removing or diminishing wrinkles, acne scars, uneven tone and texture, scars, and various pigmented and cutaneous lesions.

Key Features

300-Microsecond Technology: Allows for controlled skin ablation with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues.
Safe for All Skin Types: It is particularly beneficial for skin of color, as it reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and other thermal damage-related side effects.
Downtime: varies depending on the depth of ablation used during treatment. Individuals seeking deep wrinkle elimination and sun damage reduction may require a more ablative treatment, which results in longer downtime.

What is the EraPeel!

The Aerolase EraPeel is an advanced laser resurfacing or ablation treatment that deeply refreshes the skin by removing damaged surface layers to reveal smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin. Using precise 2940nm laser technology, it stimulates rapid skin renewal with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Think chemical peel — on steroids. One treatment. Real results.

EraPeel Superficial Ablation

EraPeel Superficial Ablation is ideal for clients seeking skin renewal with little to no downtime. This treatment gently resurfaces the most superficial layers of the skin to improve tone, texture, and overall radiance. Clients notice an immediate healthy glow, with visible refinement of pores and complexion.

Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal, long-term results. This treatment is perfect for enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and rough texture.

Frequency: Every 3–4 weeks (series of 3–6 treatments recommended)
Downtime: 0–1 days

Best for ongoing skin maintenance, glow, pore refinement, and texture smoothing with little to no interruption to daily activities.

Era Medium Ablation

EraPeel Medium Ablation is designed for clients looking to correct moderate sun damage, brown spots, uneven pigmentation, and fine lines. This treatment gently vaporizes the outermost layer of skin to reveal smoother, brighter, more youthful-appearing skin beneath.

Medium ablation is ideal for clients with more noticeable signs of aging who are comfortable with a small amount of downtime. A topical numbing cream is recommended prior to treatment for enhanced comfort.

Frequency: Every 6–8 weeks (1–3 treatments depending on goals)
Downtime: 3–5 days

Ideal for moderate sun damage, pigmentation, and fine lines. Clients can expect visible peeling and redness for several days.

Era Deep Ablation

EraPeel Renew is a deeper resurfacing treatment for clients with more advanced signs of aging who are comfortable with moderate downtime. This powerful treatment renews the epidermal layer of the skin to dramatically improve deep wrinkles, extensive sun damage, brown spots, and acne scarring.

Using precise 300-microsecond laser pulses, Renew delivers profound rejuvenation in a single treatment while remaining gentler than traditional ablative lasers. Unlike fractional treatments that require multiple sessions and repeated downtime, Renew typically achieves results in one session, meaning downtime occurs only once.

Frequency: Typically once per year (or as medically recommended)
Downtime: 7–10 days

Designed for deeper resurfacing and more advanced signs of aging, acne scarring, and extensive sun damage. Expect more significant peeling and recovery, but with more dramatic, long-lasting results.

Neo + Era = REVERSE

Reverse By Aerolase combines two powerful laser treatments for a complete skin transformation:

Step 1: Using Aerolase Neo Elite

Targets dermal pigment, redness, and vascular concerns

Stimulates collagen and elastin to firm and tighten skin

Improves sun damage, age spots, and acne scars

Step 2: Next using Aerolase Era Elite

Gently removes damaged outer skin layers for total renewal

Smooths fine lines, wrinkles and rough skin texture

Enhances skin clarity and radiance

Together, these technologies work to correct and prevent aging, unveiling fresher, younger looking skin with minimal downtime.

Frequency: The number of Neo and Era treatments will vary based on skin condition and level of ablation.
Downtime: 3-5 days (varies by size, depth, and location)

Recovery varies based on the treated area, with localized healing and scabbing as the skin regenerates.

Scars & Cutaneous Lesions

Scar tissue, benign growths, and cutaneous lesions can be precisely treated with the Era laser by selectively ablating the affected area while preserving surrounding healthy skin. The laser removes the lesion layer by layer, typically in one to two treatments, resulting in more uniform skin tone and texture.

Because only a beam of laser light touches the skin, treatments are hygienic, precise, and comfortable, allowing for safe treatment of multiple areas of the face and body.

Frequency: 1–2 treatments per area (as needed)
Downtime: 5–14 days (varies by size, depth, and location)

Recovery varies based on the treated area, with localized healing and scabbing as the skin regenerates.

Era Elite FAQ

Who should not get laser treatments?

Those who are pregnant
Those who are sunburned or have irritated skin in the sites to be treated
Those who are exhibiting unidentified skin conditions in the sites to be treated
Those who have healed poorly after other types of laser treatments
Patients prone to skin discoloration
Patients who are taking photosensitizing medication, such as Accutane, should consider discontinuing the medication 6 months before treatment
Patients who are taking topical Retin-A, patients should wait 2 weeks before treatment
Don’t apply laser energy to any raised lesions, aside from purely red ones i.e. angiomas; other lesions should first be checked by a dermatologist
Patients who are sunburned should wait until the burn subsides. Herpes Simplex Labialis (fever blisters) can be activated by laser treatment, especially on the upper lip, and patients with a tendency for fever blistering can be started on antiviral medication before treatment.

What is the Aerolase Era Elite and how does it work?

The Era Elite is an advanced 2940nm Er:YAG laser designed for high-precision skin resurfacing. It delivers targeted thermal energy to ablate the epidermis with micron-level accuracy, promoting collagen remodeling and revealing smoother, healthier skin.

What makes the Era Elite different from other Er:YAG lasers?

Unlike traditional Er:YAG lasers, the Era Elite offers full control over ablation depth and thermal effect, allowing providers custom treatments from light peels to full resurfacing—all in a single device. It also integrates seamlessly with Aerolase's Neo Elite for combination protocols that treat both the dermis and epidermis.

How often should I get treated?

Superficial Ablation Frequency: Every 3–4 weeks (series of 3–6 treatments recommended) One treatment every one to two weeks.

Medium Ablation Frequency: Every 6–8 weeks (1–3 treatments depending on goals)

Deep Ablation Frequency: Typically once per year (or as medically recommended)

Reverse Frequency: Varies depending on the number of Neo and Era treatments recommended

What skin conditions can the Era Elite treat?

The Era Elite effectively treats wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, pigmentation, melasma, uneven tone and texture, and surgical or traumatic scars. It can also be used for preventative and corrective aging treatments.

How many sessions are typically needed to see results?

Many clients see visible improvements after a single treatment. However, for deeper wrinkles, scars, or severe sun damage, a series of 2–3 sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.

Can it be used on dark skin?

YES! The Era Elite can be safely used on darker skin tones with conservative settings and proper pre- and post-treatment protocols. For deeper dermal treatments on all skin types, Era is often paired with the Neo Elite.

Is it painful?

Most clients tolerate the procedure well. A topical anesthetic is typically applied before treatment to enhance comfort. The Er:YAG wavelength also causes less thermal damage than CO2 lasers, resulting in a more comfortable experience.

Can Neo Elite be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely!! In fact, when Era Elite is combined with a chemical peel, microneedling, Glo2Facial and Botox, the results are even more phenomenal than either of the treatments alone. The Era + Neo combined addresses deeper skin concerns like pigmentation and acne while refining texture, reducing scars, and smoothing wrinkles for transformative outcomes.
