Sub-Ablative to Fractional Coring: The New Era Elite Optical Modules
Join dermatologist Cheryl Burgess, MD, for a webinar where she will take a clinical look at each new Optical Module for the Era Elite.
Resurfacing has always forced a choice: results or downtime, depth or comfort, one device or a full menu of them. With its four new Optical Modules, the Era Elite removes that choice.
Join dermatologist Cheryl Burgess, MD, for a clinical look at each new module. All four run on one 2940 nm erbium platform and cover the full range from sub-ablative tightening to hybrid fractional coring:
- Afterglow, sub-ablative tightening for an immediate glow with no downtime
- Gentle Ablative Resurfacing, which renews the epidermis and erases fine lines, pores and surface pigment
- Deep Variable Ablative Resurfacing, with customizable ablation depth for wrinkles and acne scars
- Hi-Fraxx, which combines fractional coring and full-field ablation in a single pulse
You’ll see why the 300-microsecond pulse gets the job done without collateral thermal damage. You’ll also learn how to match each module to the patient’s concern, skin type and available recovery time, and how layered protocols and Reverse Skin Renewal with the Neo Elite let you build one menu that runs from a pre-event glow to deep correction.
What you’ll learn:
- How short-pulse Er:YAG differs from CO2 and long-pulse erbium, and why that matters for comfort and recovery
- How to choose the right module for each patient, from sub-ablative Afterglow to Hi-Fraxx fractional coring
- How to set protocols by Fitzpatrick skin type, including the options for skin of color
- How to combine modules into layered protocols for localized concerns
- How to turn one device into a complete resurfacing menu for your practice
