Aerolase Era® Laser Resurfacing in Dallas
Aerolase Era® at Savanna Boda Aesthetics
Aerolase Era® is a powerful fractional erbium:YAG resurfacing laser that helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin, minimize pigmentation, and improve overall skin texture. Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers that require downtime and come with discomfort, Aerolase Era® uses short pulse durations for a more controlled, comfortable treatment experience.
This advanced device allows us to customize treatments based on your skin type, tone, and concerns—from a light refresh to a deep resurfacing. You get visible, lasting results without extended recovery or damage to surrounding tissue. It’s precision resurfacing, elevated. Book your session today at our Dallas area clinic and experience a modern, no-stress laser reset.

What to Expect

- Targeted Resurfacing: Using the Aerolase Era® handpiece, we deliver short bursts of laser energy in a controlled, fractionated pattern to stimulate collagen and remove surface imperfections.

How to Prep
- Arrive Makeup-Free: Please come to your appointment with clean skin so we can begin treatment on a fresh surface.
- When to Avoid: Those currently taking Accutane, pregnant clients, or anyone with active cold sores, open wounds, or compromised skin barriers in the treatment area should wait.
- Avoid Active Ingredients: Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, acids, or prescription topicals for at least 3–5 days prior to treatment (unless advised otherwise).
- No Sun or Tanning: Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and spray/self-tanners for 10 days prior. Skin must not be sunburned or recently tanned.
- Let Us Know About Medications: Inform your provider of any recent antibiotics, acne medications (past or current), or other prescriptions that may impact sensitivity.
- Hair Removal: Do not wax, use depilatories, or have a Laser Hair Removal session for 1–2 weeks before your treatment. Shaving may be advised depending on the treatment area.
- Botox and Filler: No Botox or Filler for 2 weeks prior to treatments
Aftercare & Post-Treatment Tips
Support your skin’s recovery and protect your results:
- Redness & Warmth: Expect some redness and warmth post-treatment, similar to a sunburn. This typically fades within a few hours to a few days, depending on treatment depth.
- Gentle Recovery: Use only the post-care products recommended for 4 days. Avoid active ingredients until the healing process is complete.
- Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ daily. Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays during healing.
- Skip Makeup (Temporarily): Depending on treatment depth, you may need to wait 4 days before wearing makeup. We’ll guide you based on your treatment plan.
- Shedding & Flaking: Depending on treatment depth, some dryness or peeling may occur in the days following as new skin emerges. For deeper treatment depth, expect heavy shedding for up to two weeks. This is normal and part of the renewal process.

FAQ'S
Aerolase Era® uses a 2940nm erbium YAG wavelength to precisely vaporize damaged skin without excessive heat or trauma to surrounding tissue. This results in faster healing, less downtime, and less risk of hyperpigmentation compared to CO2 lasers.
Unlike full-field resurfacing, we can customize the intensity, making it ideal for both light refreshers and deeper treatments. It’s highly effective for texture issues, fine lines, and pigmentation. With its precision and power, Era® helps reveal radiant skin that looks smoother and healthier.
Aerolase Era® can be used on all skin tones, but treatment depth and settings must be tailored for darker Fitzpatrick types to avoid pigment risks. At Savanna Boda Aesthetics, we specialize in inclusive skin care and will assess your tone and concerns during consultation.
For deeper resurfacing on melanin-rich skin, we may recommend a more conservative approach or prep your skin beforehand to minimize risk. Our team ensures safety is the top priority while still delivering visible results. Every treatment is customized to your skin’s needs.
Aerolase Era® is great for addressing a wide range of issues including fine lines, enlarged pores, rough texture, acne scarring, and pigmentation. It also works well for sun damage, melasma, and overall tone improvement.
The device resurfaces the top layer of skin while stimulating collagen in the deeper layers, making it a dual-action rejuvenation treatment. Whether you’re looking to refresh dull skin or dramatically improve skin clarity and smoothness, Era® can be tailored to suit. It’s a favorite for total skin renewal.
No topical numbing is needed, as the treatment is well-tolerated and not considered painful. While you may notice a warm, snapping sensation during the laser pulses, most clients describe it as comfortable and easy to manage. In fact, the most noticeable sensation typically comes after the treatment, when the skin feels warm as it begins the healing process.
You’ll be in a comfortable setting with your provider monitoring you closely. We always customize the settings to ensure the best results with the most manageable experience. Recovery is short-lived, and the glow is worth it.
Downtime varies based on the depth of resurfacing. Light treatments may cause redness for 4-7 days, while deeper treatments can result in peeling and redness for 7-10 days. You’ll need to avoid heat, sun, makeup, and non-approved products until your skin is fully healed.
We provide you with post-care recommendations (a gentle gel cleanser, Comfort Cream, and Cell Protection Balm) and instructions to protect your results. Most people resume their normal routine within a week, and skin continues to improve as collagen remodels.
Many clients see great improvement after just one session, especially for texture and mild pigmentation. More severe concerns like deep acne scars or wrinkles may require a series of 2–4 treatments spaced about 8-12 weeks apart.
Your provider will assess your skin and goals to create a plan that fits your timeline and budget. Maintenance treatments every few months can help preserve results. Think of it as ongoing skin fitness—you’ll love how it builds over time.
Absolutely. Aerolase Era® pairs well with treatments like the Aerolase Neo Elite® (known as the Reverse treatment), microneedling, dermaplaning, and your Omnilux LED (used at home). We recommend spacing treatments appropriately for safety and optimal results.
Combining treatments can enhance skin texture, tone, and overall rejuvenation. During your consultation, we’ll help map out a personalized plan to support your skin goals. At Savanna Boda Aesthetics, we believe in a 360° skincare approach that works smarter, not harder.
Those currently taking Accutane, pregnant clients, or anyone with active cold sores, open wounds, or compromised skin barriers in the treatment area should wait. Additionally, individuals who have had recent chemical peels, strong exfoliants, or laser treatments should allow appropriate healing time.
We’ll thoroughly assess your medical history and skincare routine to ensure you’re a safe candidate. As always, communication is key to planning a successful and safe treatment. Your safety and results come first.
