“We’re doing ablative treatments earlier for patients to prevent aging in the future. After the Era treatment patients commonly refer to the treatment as a magic eraser because it takes away the visible signs of aging the patients notice, plus brown spots that are not adequately treated with a lighter treatment such as chemical peels.”

Era Elite FAQ

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.

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 patients 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.

Are Era Elite treatments painful?

Most patients 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.

Is the Era Elite safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types?

While 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.

Embrace the Next Generation of Skin Rejuvenation.

Era goes beyond expectations—it’s a leap forward in skin care technology. Whether you’re a practitioner aiming to expand your practice or a patient looking for transformative yet gentle treatments, Era brings precision, versatility, and confidence to every session.
