Aerolase Era Skin Resurfacing
Mr Olivier Amar - Leading Plastic Surgeon in Chelsea, London
Aerolase Era Laser Treatment: Advanced Skin Rejuvenation
What is Aerolase Era Skin Resurfacing treatment?
The Aerolase Era represents the latest advancement in skin rejuvenation technology. Utilising a high-precision 2940nm laser technology and 300-microsecond pulse duration, this treatment encourages faster regrowth of new skin with minimal discomfort and downtime. The laser’s energy is pulsed across the skin’s surface in a carefully controlled manner, gradually vaporising old tissue to stimulate the growth of new skin and collagen for a smooth, evenly toned and youthful appearance. Aerolase Era laser allows for customisable depth of ablation tailored to the individual patient’s needs:
- Superficial treatment: refreshes and smooths skin texture, and reduces pore size
- Medium treatment: addresses moderate sun damage and fine lines
- Deep treatment: targets deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and significant skin concerns
An important step in maintaining healthy and clear skin is to create a consistent treatment routine. You should also commit to wearing sun protection daily and follow an at home skincare regimen.
Your consultation
Whether meeting in person or remotely, your consultation with Mr Olivier Amar provides a comprehensive discussion of your hoped for goals and treatment options. To get the most out of your consultation, we recommend reviewing information about your area of interest beforehand.
During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will listen to your desired outcomes and goals, conduct a thorough assessment, present appropriate treatment options and explain procedures in detail. This will include a step-by-step treatment process, required preparation, recovery timeline and potential risks and complications.
A consultation ensures you receive comprehensive information about all options, and understand both benefits and limitations of proposed procedures. You will have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you wish before you decide the next steps together, including the option to take no action.
Safe for all skin types
The Aerolase Era laser can treat all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker complexions. Its precision technology prevents hyperpigmentation and complications while ensuring optimal results for all skin types, dark and melanin rich skin and sensitive skin conditions.
Risks associated with treatment
Every non-surgical treatment, while performed with the utmost care and expertise, carries inherent risks. Mr Olivier Amar ensures all patients are fully informed about potential complications before proceeding with any treatment.
General treatment side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising and minor discomfort. During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will provide detailed information about procedure specific risks, explain preventive measures and safety protocols, answer all questions about potential complications and provide you with all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Aim to arrive to your appointment with your skin as best prepared for your laser treatment as it can be. Pre-treatment guidelines would ideally include:
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure and tanning 7 days before treatment
- Discontinue Retinol and other active skincare products 48 hours prior
- Stop using products containing acids or benzoyl peroxide
- Avoid alcohol 2-3 days before treatment
- Get adequate rest the night before
- Eat a light meal and stay hydrated
- Clean skin thoroughly before treatment
- If you are taking photo-sensitising medication, such as Accutane, you should consult your Dermatologist prior to treatment
Numbing the treatment area
Local anaesthesia involves numbing the treatment area using an injection or gel or a combination. You will still feel some pressure or movement. Full sensation will return when the medication has worn off.
Recovery Guide
Immediately after treatment you can expect to experience redness, swelling and itching which may last around 10 days. The process your skin undergoes to heal after medium or deep depth of ablative laser is typically complete within 10-14 days.
The treated area should be kept moist with ointment for up to two weeks until the healing process is complete. As with all laser treatments, you should avoid direct sun exposure until redness subsides and skin healing is complete, continue using SPF 50+ protection and follow our recommended skincare routine.
Aerolase Era treatment is a gentle resurfacing laser treatment. As a result, there is minimal downtime required. Depending on the type of daily activities, you should be able to resume daily activities between 5-7 days.
Maintaining your results
Everyone’s skin is unique and therefore reacts differently to treatment. It is important to understand that skin is always aging and signs of aging will naturally reappear. In a single treatment, Aerolase Era laser offers noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness, with results that can last several years. This varies between patients depending on factors such as skin condition, age and how well you look after your skin.
An important step in maintaining healthy and clear skin is to create a consistent treatment routine. You may opt for maintenance sessions of Aerolase Neo Laser to keep ongoing skin conditions under control and preserve results as skin aging continues. It is also recommended that you commit to wearing sun protection daily and follow an at home skincare regimen.
