Rejuvinate your complexion.
Erbium laser skin resurfacing is an advanced treatment designed to renew and rejuvenate the skin by precisely removing damaged outer layers while stimulating the production of new collagen.
The treatment creates controlled micro-injuries within the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response and encouraging fresh, healthier-looking skin to emerge. Erbium resurfacing can improve multiple signs of aging and sun damage while creating a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
Treatment intensity can be customized based on your skin concerns, desired results, and the amount of downtime that works for you.
What Does Erbium Skin Resurfacing Treat?
Erbium resurfacing is an excellent option for improving overall skin quality and addressing several concerns at the same time.
Treatment may help improve:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
Rough or uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Acne scars and other superficial scarring
Dull or damaged skin
Uneven skin tone
Signs of aging
Erbium resurfacing is commonly performed
on the face, neck, décolleté, and other areas
with visible sun damage or textural concerns.
How Does Erbium Resurfacing Work?
The erbium laser delivers highly controlled energy into the skin, precisely targeting water within the tissue and removing microscopic layers of damaged skin.
This controlled resurfacing process stimulates the skin's natural repair response and promotes new collagen formation and cellular renewal.
As the treated skin heals, damaged surface cells are replaced with fresh skin while increased collagen helps improve texture, firmness, and the appearance of fine lines.
What to Expect
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing medication may be applied prior to treatment for your comfort.
Immediately afterward, the treated area may appear red and feel warm or similar to a sunburn. Depending on the depth of your treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, dryness, flaking, or peeling during the healing process.
It is extremely important to protect your skin from sun exposure and carefully follow your post-treatment skincare instructions while your skin heals.
How Much Downtime Should I Expect?
Downtime varies depending on the intensity and depth of your treatment.
Lighter resurfacing treatments generally involve less downtime, while more aggressive treatments can produce more significant peeling, redness, and recovery in exchange for greater correction.
We will customize your treatment based on your skin, goals, and desired level of downtime and explain exactly what you can expect before your procedure.
When Will I See Results?
As the skin heals, you may begin noticing a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion.
Improvements continue over the following weeks and months as collagen remodeling occurs beneath the surface of the skin. Skin texture, fine lines, pigmentation, and overall quality may continue to improve well beyond the initial healing period.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed depends on the condition of your skin, the concerns being addressed, and the intensity of each treatment.
Some patients may achieve their desired improvement with a single more intensive resurfacing treatment, while others benefit from a series of lighter treatments.
Your provider will evaluate your skin and recommend the treatment plan best suited to your goals.
