Aerolase laser treatments in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL at Dermagnify deliver powerful results with exceptional safety across all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), year-round, with no risk of burning or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when used correctly.
At Dermagnify, Medical, Surgical and Cosmetic Dermatology in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Dr. Mark A. Cappel, MD, Mayo Clinic-trained, double board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, offers the complete Aerolase suite.
The platform comprises two single-laser treatments: the Aerolase Neo Elite (non-ablative 1064nm Nd:YAG) for medical and cosmetic skin conditions with zero downtime, and the Aerolase Era Elite (ablative 2940nm Er:YAG) for transformative resurfacing of deep wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. For patients who want both in one visit, the Aerolase Reverse protocol combines them in a single session. We proudly serve patients in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and throughout Northeast Florida.
The 3 Aerolase Treatments
Key Concerns Addressed
Acne & Active Skin Conditions
Inflammatory and cystic acne, melasma, hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory marks, and rosacea respond particularly well to the deep dermal action of the Aerolase Neo, which targets bacteria, inflammation, and excess pigment with zero downtime.
Aging Skin & Sun Damage
Deep wrinkles, fine lines, photoaging, and rough texture are best addressed by the ablative Aerolase Era Elite, which resurfaces the damaged epidermis and stimulates collagen remodeling for visibly firmer, smoother skin.
Acne Scars & Textural Irregularities
Atrophic acne scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling) and uneven texture respond best to the Aerolase Era Elite. For a comprehensive approach combining both lasers, ask about the Aerolase Reverse.
Vascular Concerns & Redness
Rosacea, facial redness, and visible blood vessels are treated effectively by the Aerolase Neo, whose 1064nm wavelength targets hemoglobin in the dermal vasculature without disrupting surrounding skin
Medical Skin Conditions
Beyond aesthetic concerns, the Aerolase Neo has proven clinical utility for hidradenitis suppurativa, pseudofolliculitis barbae, chronic dermatitis, localized plaque psoriasis, and wound-healing support.
Laser Hair Reduction
The Aerolase Neo's 1064nm wavelength delivers safe, effective hair reduction for all skin types — including tanned and darker tones that traditional hair-removal lasers can't treat safely. It's virtually pain-free with no numbing required and little to no downtime, so you're back to normal activities right away.

TREATMENT
OVERVIEW
Your Initial Consultation
Dr. Cappel, MD, performs an Alma IQ® skin analysis, reviews your medical history, evaluates your Fitzpatrick skin type, discusses your goals, and recommends the appropriate Aerolase modality (Neo, Era, or Reverse) with a customized protocol.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2–6 weeks before treatment (longer for Era and Reverse). Discontinue retinoids 1–2 weeks before resurfacing treatments. If you have a history of cold sores, prophylactic antiviral medication may be prescribed for Era or Reverse.
During the Treatment
Treatment time varies by modality: Neo (20–30 min, no numbing), Era (30–60 min, topical anesthetic), or Reverse (60–90 min, both lasers in sequence). See the relevant sub-page for procedure-specific details.
Immediate Aftercare
Neo: skin appears pink for a few hours, makeup and normal activities resume immediately. Era and Reverse: occlusive ointment applied; detailed wound-care instructions cover the following 7–14 days.
Recovery & Downtime
Neo: zero downtime. Era / Reverse: 3–7 days of re-epithelialization, peeling, and resolving pinkness, pinkness gradually fades over 2–4 weeks.
Results Timeline
Acne improvements visible within 1–2 weeks. Pigmentation lightening over 4–8 weeks. Collagen-driven improvements in firmness and texture develop over 2–6 months. Sessions per treatment series vary by modality and goal.
Potential Risks
When performed by a board-certified dermatologist, Aerolase treatments have an excellent safety profile. Common: temporary redness, mild swelling. Less common: hyperpigmentation (managed via skin-type-specific settings), infection, scarring (very rare). HSV reactivation preventable with prophylactic medication for Era and Reverse.
Aerolase treatment costs vary depending on the modality you choose, the treatment area, depth of treatment, and the number of sessions in your plan. The figures below are general guidelines, your exact pricing will be confirmed during your consultation, when we tailor a plan to your skin and goals.
Aerolase Neo sessions typically range from $300 to $600 each, and package pricing is available for those committing to a series of four to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Aerolase Era, our deeper resurfacing modality, runs $1,500 to $3,500 per session, with most patients seeing best results after one to three treatments depending on the severity of the concern; full-face treatments are priced separately from smaller, targeted areas.
For patients seeking comprehensive rejuvenation, our Reverse protocol combines Neo and Era in a single session for $1,800 to $4,100. We also offer three multi-session packages designed for layered, progressive results: Plan 1 (one Reverse plus four Neo treatments), Plan 2 (two Reverse plus four Neo), and Plan 3 (three Reverse plus six Neo), each structured to deliver compounding improvements in skin clarity, tone, and texture over time.
