Neo ERA® Treatments

• With the LightPod Era, practitioners now have a single laser modality in a single handpiece that can effectively treat a range of cosmetic concerns from the most deeply wrinkled, photodamaged skin to the most superficial irregularities within a single treatment. LightPod Era’s 300-microsecond laser technology enables precision within a gentle pulse. The 300-microsecond pulse duration delivers high energy within a short pulse duration, which allows the skin to cool in between pulses to prevent thermal overheating and collateral damage. Precise control (E-Figure 1), depth of ablation (E-Figure 2) and the ability for the skin to cool itself between pulses eliminates demarcation lines and allows predictable, reproducible outcomes. Published clinical data has shown that in comparison to other ablative technologies, the LightPod Era offers shorter downtime, a higher therapeutic window, and a lesser risk of complications such as pigmentary changes or scarring.In addition, partial area ablation of singular functional aesthetic units (E-Figure 3) is enabled due to the absence of port-treatment demarcation lines caused from thermal damage. This advances the traditional ablative lasers that need to treat entire areas to cover-up demarcations lines caused by excess thermal damage. The LightPod Era now allows for customized treatment solutions with minimized downtime.Clinical Applications

Lightpod ERA MANUFACTURER NOTES

The LightPod Era represents a new revolution in skin rejuvenation as a high-precision 2940nm laser that delivers high-fluence in a collimated beam, utilizing a gentle 300-microsecond pulse duration. The Era uniquely allows for independent depth of ablation of shallow or deep indications (plus, a non-ablative mode) within a treatment site, as well as precision targeting of difficult contours of the nose and periocular areas. These controlled pulses allow for full ablation of the epidermis without damaging the dermis, which eliminates pinpoint bleeding, oozing, and excessive amounts of downtime while still achieving the stunning results historically only seen with C02 lasers. The LightPod Era operates without any per-treatment costs or consumables to keep your practice highly profitable.

Complete Artistic Control – LightPod Era allows you to address each patient’s individual anti-aging concerns by enabling tailored treatment for both deep and superficial indications without demarcation lines.

Maximum Results, Minimal Downtime – a single treatment session allows for comparable results to a series of treatments with fractional devices, but with less downtime. A single more aggressive treatment offers similar results to C02 without adverse effects or prolonged patient downtime.

Precise Depth of Ablation – unique control over complete epidermal renewal eliminates collateral thermal damage, damaging the dermis and ensures achieving desired, reproducible results for each patient.

Minimal Adverse Effects – unmatched results with no hyper- or hypopigmentation, no bleeding, no oozing, no scarring and no excessive downtime immensely boosts patient satisfaction.

300-Microsecond Ablative Laser Technology
The LightPod Era’s gentle 300-microsecond pulse is delivered in a unique collimated beam, which combines to allow for a number of advantages including:

Independent depth of ablation within a treatment site
Less downtime and fewer treatments than fractional lasers
Less downtime and risk of adverse effects, yet comparable results to C02
Partial face treatments without demarcation lines
Precision targeting of difficult contours (nasal, periocular, perioral, scars, etc.)
No touching of the skin, which allows exceptional visual control, hygiene and treatment comfort
A new sub-ablative mode opens epidermal renewal to darker skin types
