what is erbium laser?

Erbium laser skin resurfacing treatment helps to remove deep lines and wrinkles on the face, as well as hands, neck, or chest, revealing new, refreshed skin cells below. Erbium has also been shown to stimulate collagen production, which will continue to smooth and tighten loose skin. Ervium is our go to treatment for stubborn melasma hyperpigmentation.
 
 

How does the treatment work?

The laser light is absorbed by the water in the skin cells, causing the instantaneous vaporization of the cell. As the laser passes across the skin, a small amount of tissue is removed at a time, allowing to treat only as deeply as needed.

How long will it take me to recover?

The healing time may vary among individuals and will depend upon the actual treatment depth, typically recovery takes from 5-14 days depending on the strength and intensity of your treatment. The more agressive the treatment the more downtime. Be sure to discuss your preferences with your provider. You may experience redness which may last several weeks.

What can be expected post-treatment?

After treatment, a sun burned sensation may occur, and slight burning, tingling or redness may appear on the treated area.

How long will the results from the treatment last?

The success of the results will depend on how well the skin is properly cared for. Smoking and excessive sun exposure will lead to damaged skin and new wrinkles can appear.
