ERBIUM LASER SKIN RESURFACING

Fractional Laser

Erbium laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that uses a fractionated erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er) laser. It’s used to address various skin concerns, primarily focusing on hyperpigmentation, skin texture, and overall skin tone. This treatment works by targeting the outer layers of the skin to remove damaged tissue while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers. The result is smoother, more even-toned skin with improved texture and a reduction in imperfections such as fine lines, sunspots, and acne scars.

HOW IT WORKS

During an erbium laser treatment, the Er laser emits short pulses of focused light energy that vaporize damaged skin cells and promote the body’s natural healing process. This process helps to resurface the skin by removing damaged tissue and allowing healthy, fresh skin to emerge. At the same time, the laser stimulates collagen production in the deeper dermal layers, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin over time. Unlike some other laser treatments, erbium laser is highly precise, which makes it effective at targeting specific concerns without excessive damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
