How does Erbium Skin Resurfacing work?  

Erbium skin resurfacing for the face, neck, chest helps eliminate surface pigmentation, mild scarring, improves skin elasticity, and minimize mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles. The Erbium treatment requires some downtime and helps restore softer, smoother, more youthful-appearing skin. We offer both non-ablative and ablative laser options to help tighten, restore, and brighten your skin.

Is there downtime associated with Erbium Skin Resurfacing?

Yes. Mild redness will be present in the treatment area and can last from a few hours up to a few days. Immediately following the procedure, patients will experience a mild sunburn sensation that may include some mild discomfort. Most patients do not feel any significant discomfort, however, an ice pack (not direct ice) maybe applied to help soothe areas with discomfort. Before you leave your treatment, your laser provider will apply cooling lotion or soothing gel and provide clear post-treatment care instructions for you to follow when you return home.

It is important to protect your skin from environmental elements; therefore, a moisturizer and a SPF protection of at least 30 should be used daily. A few days post procedure, patients will experience mild peeling of the skin. The peeling is similar to the effects of sunburn. Continue to follow the skin care regimen offered by your laser provider. Do not pick at the peeling skin, as it may lead to scarring.
