Rejuvenate your skin’s overall tone, texture and elasticity, with Erbium laser resurfacing treatment. This technology combines the visible results of ablative laser therapy with non-ablative methods for a more comfortable treatment and faster recovery.

Erbium laser skin resurfacing precisely removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells so that a new, fresh layer of skin can take its place. The procedure also tightens skin by activating collagen production. Laser skin resurfacing with Erbium is the preferred procedure for patients who would like to achieve dramatic improvement in skin appearance. This procedure successfully removes superficial lines to moderately deep wrinkles with less pain, fewer side effects, and a more rapid recovery than other treatments.

The Erbium glass fractional fiber laser 1550nm machine is split into multiple beams (pixels) creating multiple microscopic channels of thermal injury while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. The healthy untreated tissue allows the skin to heal much faster and helps stimulate collagen remodeling and new cell growth resulting in a quicker recovery with very little downtime. The procedure is gentle enough to treat even the most delicate skin of the neck, chest, and hands.

What to expect

Appropriate protective eyewear is required for both the patient and practitioner. You may feel mild heat with delivery of the laser pulses during treatment, but the procedure is generally well tolerated with minimal discomfort. Post treatment you may have some mild redness and the skin may feel as though you have a sunburn. Mild swelling can also occur in more aggressively treated areas. You will see a pixel pattern on the skin for 3-5 days post treatment with flaking and full recovery within 5-7 days.

Erbium vs CO2

Erbium lasers are a milder and less invasive treatment option than a similarly ablative carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. How are the two different? The CO2 laser can remove deeper layers of damaged skin than the erbium laser – yet the recovery is far more intense, and the care you must undergo during recovery is extensive. Erbium glass laser treatment provides patients whose skin damage is not as severe — or who would simply prefer a more rapid laser skin resurfacing recovery — with an excellent alternative.

This laser can be precisely controlled so that only specific areas, such as the mouth or eye area, are easily targeted. Often, the procedure is done in conjunction with another cosmetic operation, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. Erbium laser treatment can provide the “finishing touch” to surgical lifting procedures and take care of fine lines, pigmentation and rough skin.

Erbium laser technology to penetrate deep into the skin layers while protecting the epidermis. The treatment targets specific skin concerns by heating the deeper tissues to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:

*Consultation: During your initial consultation, experts will assess your skin concerns and discuss the best treatment plan to achieve your goals.

*Preparation: Before the procedure, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort.

*Laser Treatment: The Erbium laser is then passed over the target areas, delivering precise energy to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate deeper layers of skin. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation as the laser works, but discomfort is generally minimal.

*Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, a soothing ointment will be applied to promote healing, and you’ll be given instructions for at-home care.

Each session typically lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. For optimal results, a series of 4-6 treatments is often recommended, spaced a few weeks apart.

Recovery and Downtime

Erbium laser resurfacing is known for its faster recovery times compared to other laser treatments. Most patients experience redness, swelling, and peeling for a few days after treatment as the skin heals and regenerates. However, the downtime is generally less than a week, and you can expect the following:

*Initial Healing: Redness and peeling will occur in the first 5-7 days. During this time, it’s important to follow the provided aftercare instructions to promote healing and protect your skin.

*Post-Treatment Care: Use a gentle, non-irritating cleanser and moisturizer. Avoid sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

*Makeup: Once your skin has healed, usually within 7-10 days, you can resume wearing makeup and other skincare products.

*Results: As your skin continues to heal and new collagen forms, you’ll notice improvements in texture, tone, and elasticity over the following weeks and months. Full results are typically seen within 2-3 months.
