Erbium laser resurfacing precisely ablates the outermost layer of the skin to reveal the underlying skin that is smoother and younger looking. The procedure also activates collagen to promote further tightening of the skin.

The erbium laser skin resurfacing is the treatment of choice for those who would like to achieve dramatic improvement in the appearance of their skin. This procedure successfully removes superficial lines to moderately deep wrinkles with less pain, fewer side-effects, and a more rapid recovery than other treatments. An erbium laser provides a milder and less invasive treatment option than a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. The CO2 laser is able to remove deeper layers of damaged skin than the erbium glass laser. However, an erbium laser treatment provides those whose skin damage is not as severe — or who would simply prefer a more rapid laser skin resurfacing recovery – with an excellent alternative.

Erbium glass fractional fiber laser 1550nm machine, like CO2 laser, are powerful ablative lasers designed to remove the outer layers of the skin using a burst of energy. Laser Resurfacing also known as a Laser Peel, has advantages over other methods of resurfacing. Some of these advantages include less bleeding, more precision with the ability to target tiny areas like moles, and most importantly, a shorter recovery time. Patients who have had Erbium laser treatment recover twice as quickly as those who have had CO2 laser. Erbium Laser Resurfacing is a state-of-the-art skin rejuvenation treatment that uses an Erbium laser to precisely remove the outer layers of damaged skin. This advanced technique stimulates collagen production and reveals fresher, younger-looking skin beneath.

Unlike traditional lasers which use a solid beam, our medical grade fractional erbium laser, use a matrix of microscopic beams to penetrate the skin which means only a proportion of the skin is treated with each shot of the laser. This allows uninjured skin within the treatment site to act as a barrier which promotes quicker healing and a faster recovery. The stimulation of a healing response leads to the formation of new collagen in the treated area. In addition to this ‘ablative’ effect on the skin’s surface, there is a tightening effect on collateral collagen fibres and a resulting smoothing effect. Benefits include clearing sun damage such as age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing out acne scars and an improvement in the appearance of pores. The results of erbium laser resurfacing are both immediate and progressive. Soon after the treatment, the surface of your skin will feel softer and smoother, look brighter, show a more even skin tone and a radiant glow. Over the next 3-6 months new collagen continues to develop.

Benefits of Erbium Laser Resurfacing

Choosing Erbium Laser Resurfacing offers numerous advantages:

*Improved Skin Texture: Reveals smoother, softer skin with reduced pore size.

*Even Skin Tone: Addresses pigmentation issues and sun damage.

*Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy improvements that can last for years with proper skincare.

What does a Erbium laser resurfacing do?

Erbium laser resurfacing is one of the most advanced skin rejuvenation treatments available and is known in the industry as being effective in treating both superficial and deep skin problems, such as:

*Scars of any origin

*Acne scarring

*Surgical scarring

*Stretch marks

*Sagging skin

*Wrinkles

*Pigmentation

*Melasma

*Sun damage

*Large pores

How does Fractional Erbium laser work in skin regeneration

The Erbium laser is designed as a treatment of choice to regenerate the skin both deep down and on the surface.

The Erbium laser emits light energy that is absorbed by water as the light hits the skin. The tissues that contains water is vaporized. The excess heat in the area that is generated by the laser results in collagen shrinkage and stimulates the formation of collagen which will tighten the skin further. As skin cells are mostly composed of water, the heat produced by the laser light is scattered over the skin. The object is to induce controlled damage to the skin to stimulate it, just enough to promote healing. This damage will be similar to a burn and afterwards, the skin will ooze and weep. Deeper wrinkles require more treatment, while shallow scars and wrinkles may be completely erased after just one treatment.

The laser pulses treat wrinkles, scars, dark spots and other skin irregularities layer after layer. In addition, this process stimulates the formation of new collagen which provides better elasticity and support to the skin.

Advantages of Fractional Erbium laser compared to CO2 laser?

Erbium lasers can be ablative or non-ablative. Their biggest appeal is that they are highly attractive to water and therefore able to quickly deliver wavelengths of laser light into the dermal layer to vaporise skin’s water content. The Erbium laser ability to target a specific treatment area of concern means Erbium lasers are regularly chosen for skin aging concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. This increased accuracy in the treatment area is also why Erbium lasers are often favoured over CO2 lasers.

Erbium laser produces a laser beam that has a very high affinity with the water contained in the tissues, higher than CO2 laser, so its penetration into the skin, although lower, Erbium is still an intensive clinic laser treatment for dramatic rejuvenation results, performing at the same time, a less aggressive action with much faster recovery time.

Preparation and Aftercare for Erbium Laser Resurfacing Treatment

To ensure the best possible results from your Erbium Laser Resurfacing treatment, follow these guidelines:

Before Your Treatment:

*Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 4 weeks prior.

*Discontinue use of retinoids and exfoliating products for 1-2 weeks before treatment.

*Inform your practitioner of any medications, especially those that increase photosensitivity.

*Arrange for someone to drive you home post-treatment.

After Your Treatment:

*Follow the specific aftercare routine provided by your practitioner.

*Keep the treated area clean and moisturised as directed.

*Avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF daily.

*Refrain from picking or scratching the treated area.

*Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for optimal results.

Is Erbium Laser Skin Treatment Safe?

Even as erbium laser skin resurfacing provides a highly effective treatment for fine lines and wrinkles with a shorter recovery period and fewer side effects, those receiving treatment should still expect their skin to appear pink or red after the procedure. Some swelling may also occur. Typically, a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist will provide medication and thorough aftercare instructions to aid you in your comfort and help make your recovery as beneficial as possible.
