Regeneration Over Destruction: Redefining Aesthetic Laser Care

For decades, lasers have defined skin rejuvenation by controlled damage. They burn, ablate and break down tissue in hopes the body will rebuild itself stronger. While this damage-first model occasionally delivered desired results, it often came with pain, unpredictable healing, extended downtime and heightened risk for patients with darker skin tones.

Today’s aesthetic patients demand something better. They want outcomes without trauma, safety without compromise and results that reflect a luxury experience.

Aerolase has redefined what’s possible with a regenerative-first philosophy. Powered by its two flagship devices, the Neo Elite® (1064nm Nd:YAG, 650-microsecond pulsed laser) and the Era Elite® (2940nm Er:YAG, 300-microsecond pulsed laser), Aerolase® enables true regeneration at both dermal and epidermal levels. Together, these devices form Reverse by Aerolase®, a proprietary protocol designed to rebuild—not destroy—skin.

The Regenerative Role of Neo Elite

The Neo Elite is unlike any other Nd:YAG laser. With its 650-microsecond pulse duration, it penetrates deeply into the dermis while sparing the epidermis. High fluence is delivered precisely, long enough to target deep chromophores, yet short enough to avoid collateral thermal injury.

Regenerative Outcomes:

• Dermal Collagenesis – Activates fibroblasts to create new collagen (types I & III), restoring elasticity and firmness.¹
• Tone & Texture Renewal – Corrects vascular and pigment irregularities for even, luminous skin.^{2, 3}
• Acne & Inflammation Control – Reduces sebaceous gland activity and calms inflammation, minimizing active acne and preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.^{4, 5}

How it’s different from traditional 1064 lasers:
Typical Nd:YAG lasers rely on heat and destruction, often causing pain, downtime, and pigment risk. The Neo Elite’s 650-microsecond pulse bypasses the epidermis and activates the skin’s regenerative cascade, stimulating fibroblasts and creating a healthier, stronger dermis that looks and functions renewed.

The Era Elite is an advanced Er:YAG laser engineered for micron-level precision without collateral damage. Delivering 300-microsecond pulses, it precisely resurfaces the epidermis while carefully controlling thermal interaction with the dermis to stimulate further remodeling.

Regenerative Outcomes:

• Epidermal Renewal – Complete resurfacing stimulates fresh cellular growth, creating a smoother texture.
• Sun Damage Reversal – Erases photodamage, age spots, and environmental wear with accuracy.
• Fine Line & Wrinkle Reduction – Promotes neocollagenesis for visible smoothing and refinement.

How it’s different from CO₂ and traditional ablatives:
CO2 and Er:YAG lasers overheated and caused necrosis in surrounding tissue; the Era Elite’s 300-microsecond pulses resurface skin with pinpoint precision and minimal thermal spread. The result is safer treatment, faster recovery, and superior cosmetic outcomes, without the collateral damage of traditional ablative lasers.

Reverse by Aerolase®: Dual-Layer Regeneration

When Neo and Era are used sequentially, they form Reverse®, Aerolase’s signature regenerative protocol. This comprehensive approach addresses both dermal rejuvenation and epidermal resurfacing without the compromises of traditional resurfacing and rejuvenation.

Why Reverse is Transformative:

• The Ultimate Reset – Reverse simultaneously regenerates the dermis and resurfaces the epidermis, creating results that feel less like a procedure and more like turning back time on the skin.
• A Luxury Experience, Not a Surgery—Treatments are performed comfortably, without anesthesia or numbing, redefining the patient experience as the alternative to painful, destructive procedures. They are safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI.
• Always in Season – Unlike older technologies restricted to “laser season,” Reverse is safe year-round—even in sunny destinations—making it ideal for patients who expect access to treatments on their terms.
• Redefining Recovery – Patients enjoy dramatic results without the trade-off of prolonged downtime, excessive peeling, or the risk of hyperpigmentation. Healthy skin reemerges within days, not weeks.
