Aerolase technology effectively reduce and remove scars from the dermal and epidermal layers.
The Era is used to ablate skin along incision lines, post-suturing, to minimize raised scar formation, and to resurface scar tissue. Aerolase lasers are used to remove vascularity and other pigmentation from existing scars to make them less noticeable.
The Most Advanced Treatment of Scars and Striae
Types of scars treated
Different types of veins and vascular lesions can be:
Treatment of incisions post-suturing
For the treatment of incisions post-suturing, to minimize raised scar formation, the Era is used to ablate along the incision line; this promotes evenness of skin healing and the heat from the laser energy stimulates the formation of new collagen, further improving the surface texture and uniformity.
Existing scars
For the treatment of existing scars, the Era can be used to reduce the raised scar tissue and improve texture, while either the Neo or Neo V is used to target pigment including red (vascularity) and brown (hyperpigmentation) to improve the cosmetic appearance of the scar.
Efficacy & patient satisfaction
In a recent clinical study, from Khalili A. Khatri, MD, the efficacy & patient satisfaction in Laser Scar Revision using the 300-microsecond ER:YAG laser was tested and found:
- 30% of patients rated improvements as excellent
- 70% of patients rated improvement as good or satisfactory
How Aerolase helps reduce the appearance of scars from both the dermis and epidermis.
The 650-microsecond 1064nm Nd:YAG laser targets the dermis, helping reduce the pigment and discoloration from scars and help stimulate collagen growth to enhance the skins texture.
The 300-microsecond 2940nm ER:YAG laser targets the epidermis by efficiently removing the upper layer of the skin, removing scar tissue, and promoting the regrowth of healthy skin.
Combining both of these devices creates the Reverse by Aerolase® protocol normalizing skin texture and tone by removing scar tissue and blending healthy skin.

Scars and striae treatment FAQ
For the treatment of existing scars, the Era can be used to reduce the raised scar tissue and improve texture, while either the Neo or Neo V is used to target pigment including red (vascularity) and brown (hyperpigmentation). The Neo Elite's 650-microsecond 1064nm wavelength targets vascular and pigmented components while stimulating deep collagen production, while the Era represents a new revolution in skin rejuvenation as a high-precision 2940nm laser that delivers high-fluence in a collimated beam, utilizing a gentle 300-microsecond pulse duration. The Era Hybrid Fractional combines full-field ablation with 16 microchannels of fractional ablation - all in a single pass.
The Reverse by Aerolase protocol harnesses the power of two state-of-the-art lasers: the Neo Elite and the Era Elite. The Neo Elite is a 650-microsecond Nd: YAG laser specifically designed to remove pigment from scars and stimulate collagen production, leading to a smoother, even skin texture. The Era Elite incorporates full ablation in a single pulse, allowing the removal of scar tissue while further stimulating neocollagenesis. You'll be able to target both the superficial and deeper skin layers in a single treatment. This comprehensive approach addresses both functional and aesthetic aspects of scarring.
Ideal for deeper lines, skin growths, and acne scars. The Era Elite also allows limited-area treatments, so you only treat the skin you need to. The Neo Elite excels at treating red and hyperpigmented scars, keloids, and recent red striae, while the Era Elite is optimal for textural irregularities, atrophic acne scars, and mature white stretch marks. Combining it with Neo Elite unlocks unprecedented results. The Era Elite is the single leading device-based solution for complete epidermal renewal addressing enlarged pores, sun damage and brown spots, scars and acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles.
The Neo Elite uses a 650-microsecond pulse duration that's clinically proven to be safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI, while the Era Elite uses 300-microsecond pulse technology that allows for controlled skin ablation with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues making Reverse effective and inclusive. This is especially important since keloid and hypertrophic scars are more prominent in darker skin types. The shorter pulse duration also means it is less painful and does not need cooling. Both devices offer superior safety profiles compared to traditional fractional CO2 lasers.
Individual Neo Elite treatments for vascular/pigmented scars typically require 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Era Elite textural treatments usually need 1-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Thanks to the proprietary laser energy delivery, this treatment offers minimal social downtime of just 3–7 days for combination protocols. Clinical studies show increases in collagen types I and III in over 85% of patients. Results continue improving for 3-6 months post-treatment as collagen remodeling occurs.
Individual Neo Elite scar treatments range from $400-700 per session, while Era Elite treatments range from $600-1,200 depending on treatment area and depth. Combination Reverse® protocols typically range from $3,500-6,000 for complete treatment series. The ability to offer both non-ablative and ablative options allows practices to serve diverse patient populations and budgets. Both the Neo Elite and Era Elite laser devices offer several benefits for patients in comparison to other laser-based treatments: The Aerolase devices have a patented short pulse (300-650 microseconds), allowing it to deliver highly effective results with minimal downtime.
Post-Neo Elite care requires sun protection and gentle skincare with minimal downtime. Era Elite treatments require more intensive wound care for 5-7 days including occlusive healing ointments and strict sun avoidance for 2-4 weeks. The synergy of Aerolase Neo and Era Elite in a single treatment plan provides improved skin tone and texture by targeting both pigmentation and surface imperfections, ensuring comprehensive rejuvenation with collagen stimulation essential for maintaining youthful, firm skin. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain results and prevent new scar formation in acne-prone patients.
