Erbium:YAG Laser Resurfacing

The Erbium:YAG is a resurfacing laser that involves creating an intentional controlled skin injury  to promote collagen remodeling and treat a variety of indications including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture and sun damage on the face, neck, chest and hands. It is effective in reducing crepey skin which is a thin appearance to the skin which is especially apparent around the eyes/eyelids and may be sagging and loose.

The Erbium laser treats the skin by dusting off the top layer and then heat is directed to the dermal layer of the skin to promote collagen realignment and remodeling.

This is the treatment of choice for patients wanting to achieve dramatic improvement in the appearance of their skin with minimal discomfort. This treatment leads to improved skin texture and a more youthful appearance.

Topical numbing cream is applied pre procedure to provide a comfortable treatment experience.

Patients should plan for 3 days of downtime characterized by redness, swelling and peeling of the skin.
