Ablative Laser Resurfacing
Restore a youthful glow
Skin imperfections such as wrinkles, scars, and sun damage can affect your confidence and appearance. Ablative Laser Resurfacing is a revolutionary treatment that addresses these concerns, providing smoother, rejuvenated skin. By removing damaged outer layers and promoting collagen production, this laser therapy can restore a youthful glow and significantly improve skin texture and tone.
What is Ablative Laser Resurfacing?
Ablative Laser Resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses an intense beam of light to precisely remove the outer layers of skin. This process stimulates the underlying skin to produce new collagen, resulting in tighter and smoother skin. This FDA-approved technique is renowned for its ability to treat various skin issues effectively.
Aerolase Era for Advanced Ablative Laser Resurfacing
The Aerolase Era is at the forefront of laser technology, providing a versatile and secure approach to various skin issues. This advanced, medical-grade laser system not only excels in enhancing skin tone and texture and minimizing wrinkles but also uniquely performs ablative treatments safely on darker skin tones—a challenge for many traditional lasers.
What Sets Aerolase Era Apart?
Safe for All Skin Types
Unlike many other laser systems, the Aerolase Era is FDA-cleared for use on all skin types, including darker complexions. Its gentle, virtually painless treatment makes it an excellent choice for those looking for a safe and effective ablative laser option.
Advanced Technology
The Aerolase Era uses a 2940nm wavelength laser, falling under the Erbium YAG category. This wavelength is easily absorbed by the water in your skin, making it perfect for precise skin resurfacing. It also has an incredibly quick pulse duration of just 300 microseconds (0.0003 seconds).
The combination of this specific wavelength and ultra-short pulse duration provides several key benefits:
- Precision: It allows for accurate targeting of specific skin layers.
- Minimal thermal damage: The short pulse reduces heat buildup in surrounding tissues.
- Faster healing: Less thermal damage often leads to quicker recovery times.
- Reduced discomfort: Patients typically experience less pain during and after treatment.
- Lower risk: The precise control helps minimize the potential for side effects often seen with longer-pulse lasers.
Skin Tone and Texture Enhancement
With its state-of-the-art laser technology, the Aerolase Era can significantly improve skin tone and texture. It effectively diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Skin Rejuvenation
Beyond resurfacing, the Era also stimulates collagen production, boosting skin elasticity and tone for a refreshed appearance.

Aerolase Era treatments are designed to prioritize patient comfort, with many reporting little to no discomfort during the procedure.
