Laser Skin Resurfacing: The Power of Erbium YAG
Rejuvenate your complexion and turn back the clock on sun damage with the precision of Erbium YAG laser resurfacing. Unlike older laser technologies, our Erbium platform offers a sophisticated approach to skin renewal, effectively treating fine lines, deep wrinkles, acne scars, and "crepey" skin texture with significantly less downtime than traditional methods.
Why Choose Erbium Over CO2?
While CO2 lasers have long been the industry standard, the Erbium YAG laser offers several distinct advantages for the modern patient:
* Precision & Safety: Erbium energy is more highly absorbed by the water in your skin cells than CO2. This allows our practitioners to vaporize damaged tissue with incredible precision while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected.
* Reduced Heat Damage: Because the laser is so efficient, there is far less "bulk heating" of the skin. This means less redness, a lower risk of pigment changes, and a faster healing process.
* Versatility: It is an excellent option for patients with darker skin tones or those looking to treat delicate areas like the neck and hands.
Tailored to Your Timeline: Full Field vs. Fractional
We believe in "skin goals, not one-size-fits-all." We offer two primary modes of resurfacing to match your needs:
* Full Field Ablative Resurfacing: For those seeking the most dramatic transformation. This method removes the entire surface layer of the skin in the treatment area, making it the "gold standard" for deep wrinkles and significant sun damage.
* Fractional Resurfacing: This "pixilated" approach treats only a fraction of the skin’s surface at a time. By leaving microscopic columns of tissue untouched, your body’s natural healing response is triggered faster, resulting in minimal downtime while still delivering impressive smoothing and tightening.
From "Refresh" to "Total Transformation"
One of the greatest benefits of our Erbium laser is its adjustable intensity. Whether you are looking for a "weekend peel" to brighten a dull complexion or an aggressive treatment to erase years of scarring, we can calibrate the laser’s depth and energy to match your specific skin concerns and recovery window.
Your Journey Begins With a Consultation
Laser resurfacing is a powerful medical procedure. Because every skin type and history is unique, a one-on-one consultation is essential.
During your visit, we will perform a comprehensive skin analysis, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if Erbium resurfacing is the safest and most effective path for you. We’ll help you choose between a mild refresh or a more aggressive correction to ensure you love the skin you’re in.

BEFORE & AFTER ONE TREATMENT
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Erbium and CO2 lasers?
While both are ablative lasers, the Erbium YAG laser is more precisely absorbed by water in the skin. This allows for cooler, more targeted treatment with significantly less heat damage to surrounding tissue. For the patient, this typically means a faster healing process, less post-treatment redness, and a lower risk of pigment changes compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
How do I know if I need Full Field or Fractional resurfacing?
It depends on your goals and available downtime. Full Field Ablative treatment is best for deep wrinkles and significant texture issues, as it treats the entire skin surface. Fractional resurfacing treats only a percentage of the skin, leaving "bridges" of untouched tissue to speed up healing. During your consultation, we will assess your skin to recommend the most effective depth for you.
Can the treatment be adjusted for my specific skin concerns?
Yes! One of the biggest benefits of our Erbium platform is its adjustability. We can perform a "Micro-Laser Peel" for a mild refresh with just a few days of downtime, or a more aggressive deep-tissue treatment for stubborn acne scars and advanced aging. We customize the energy levels based on your skin type and how much recovery time you have.
Is Erbium laser resurfacing painful?
Comfort is our priority. For mild fractional treatments, a topical numbing cream is usually sufficient. For more aggressive, full-field treatments, we may use additional cooling techniques or local numbing to ensure you are comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick, warm snaps.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
Many patients see a dramatic improvement in skin tone and texture after just one full-field treatment. However, if you opt for a milder fractional approach, a series of 1 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended to achieve your ultimate goal. A personalized plan will be created during your initial consultation.
What can I expect after the procedure?
Mild redness will be present in the treatment area and can last from a few hours up to a few days. Treatment areas almost always become red. Immediately following the procedure, patients will experience a mild sunburn sensation that may include some mild discomfort. You should refrain from sun exposure for the following week and must use gentle cleanser and Aquaphor for 3-5 days after. You may resume your normal activities within five days after treatment.
How do I know if this procedure is right for me?
This treatment is best for superficial sun induced damage and skin atrophy or "crepiness" associated with aging. A consultation is needed to determine if it is right for you.
