Over time, your skin’s natural renewal process slows, allowing sun damage, collagen loss, acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, and textural irregularities to become increasingly visible. As the skin’s supportive framework changes, fine lines, enlarged pores, and roughness may develop, diminishing the smooth, luminous complexion associated with youthful, healthy skin.
Aerolase Era skin resurfacing is an advanced 2940 nm Er:YAG laser treatment that precisely removes damaged surface skin while stimulating healthy regeneration beneath. By harnessing laser energy that is highly absorbed by water within the skin, it encourages fresh, smoother skin to emerge with greater clarity, refined texture, and a more youthful appearance.
The Aerolase Era is an innovative 2940 nm Er:YAG laser designed for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing. With a single session, it can correct various imperfections, revealing more youthful-looking skin. Unlike fractional or long-pulsed lasers, the Aerolase Era’s gentle 300-microsecond pulse duration ensures clean ablation without collateral damage to the dermis.
The absorption of Er:YAG 2940nm laser by water in the skin efficiently vaporizes the skin, stimulating the re-epithelialization of new skin to replace it. The Aerolase Era is FDA-cleared for removing or diminishing wrinkles, acne scars, uneven tone and texture, scars, and various pigmented and cutaneous lesions.
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.
Your skin may appear pink or red, similar to a moderate sunburn, depending on the depth of your treatment. You may also notice a feeling of warmth and mild tightness. As your skin heals, old, damaged cells are gradually shed to reveal fresher, healthier skin beneath.
Many patients notice smoother, brighter skin once the initial healing is complete. Because your skin continues to produce new collagen and remodel over time, improvements in texture, tone, and overall quality may continue to develop over the following weeks and months.
For many individuals, yes. The Aerolase Era’s precise Er technology minimizes thermal injury to surrounding tissue, making it a valuable resurfacing option for many skin tones, including skin of color. Your consultation will determine whether it is the most appropriate choice for your skin.
The damaged skin treated during your procedure is replaced with healthier new skin, but the natural aging process and ongoing sun exposure continue throughout life. Thoughtful skincare, diligent sun protection, and periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve your refreshed complexion for years to come.
Beautiful skin is rarely the result of a single treatment: it is the product of thoughtful planning and an approach that respects your natural features. At Balanced Aesthetics & Wellness, we take the time to understand your goals and create a personalized treatment plan that delivers natural, refined rejuvenation. Whether you live in Santa Clara or the neighboring communities, we invite you to schedule a consultation and discover how the Aerolase Era can reveal healthier, more luminous skin.
