This treatment is effective for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone, minimizing scars (including acne scars), and treating pigmentation issues such as sun damage and age spots.

The Erbium deep laser uses precise energy to remove the damaged top layers of skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting collagen regeneration for long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

A topical anesthetic is applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Most patients report feeling warmth or mild tingling during the treatment, but it is well-tolerated.

Total time is about two hours which includes one hour of topical numbing time.

You will have a feeling of a sunburn the first few days with swelling, redness, and dryness. You may wear makeup after the first 48 hours. Full recovery can take up to 10 days.

Initial improvements in skin texture and tone can be seen within a week, while more significant results, such as smoother skin and reduced fine lines, develop over the next few months as collagen production increases.

Many patients achieve their desired results after one session, but additional treatments may be recommended for more severe concerns or deeper scars.

While Erbium deep lasers are safe for most skin types, those with darker skin tones should consult with their provider to assess the risk of pigmentation changes.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and using retinol or other harsh skincare products for 1–2 weeks before treatment. Your provider will give you specific pre-treatment instructions.

Side effects are generally minimal and may include redness, swelling, and peeling. These effects are temporary and resolve as the skin heals.

No, erbium deep laser resurfacing is best as a stand alone treatment due to its depth and recovery time. 

Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a good skincare routine and sun protection. Periodic maintenance treatments can further prolong the benefits.
