What’s the difference between Aerolase Neo and Era?
Neo is non-ablative and treats conditions like acne, rosacea, melasma, and inflammation. Era is an ablative resurfacing laser used to reduce wrinkles, texture, and sun damage.
Is there any downtime?
Neo has no downtime—you can return to your normal routine immediately. Era may cause 1–3 days of redness and light flaking, depending on the depth of treatment.
Does Aerolase work for darker skin tones?
Yes. Both Neo and Era are safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Neo is especially well-suited for treating pigment and acne in darker complexions without causing damage.
How soon will I see results?
Neo results often appear after 1–2 treatments, especially for acne and redness. Era may show immediate smoothing, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Can I combine Neo and Era in the same session?
Yes, depending on your skin goals and tolerance. Neo can prep or calm the skin before an Era session, especially if both inflammation and texture are being addressed.
What areas can be treated?
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, back (for acne), and hands. Era can also be used on eyelids and around the mouth to target fine lines.
