What is Erbium Laser Resurfacing?

Erbium laser resurfacing is an advanced treatment designed to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. It uses a focused beam of light to target the outer layers of skin, removing damaged tissue and stimulating collagen production for smoother, younger-looking skin. This procedure is especially effective for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage.

How Does Erbium Laser Resurfacing Work?

During erbium laser resurfacing, a laser is used to remove layers of damaged skin cells with precision. The light energy from the erbium laser vaporizes the skin’s surface layer, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin underneath. This process not only improves skin texture but also stimulates collagen production, which helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
