Erbium Yag Laser

Erbium Yag Laser

Refine texture, reduce sun damage, and rejuvenate aging skin

Overview

The Erbium:YAG fractional laser is a high-precision resurfacing treatment designed to target fine lines, pigmentation, scars, and early signs of aging. By stimulating cellular turnover and boosting collagen and elastin production, this laser effectively removes damaged layers of skin and encourages healthy new tissue to form in its place.

This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking gentler resurfacing with a shorter recovery window than more aggressive ablative lasers. Whether you’re looking to smooth wrinkles, brighten tone, or fade sun damage, Erbium:YAG offers a safe, effective path to clearer, more youthful skin.

Key Benefits

  • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage

  • Improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity

  • Fades brown spots, blotchiness, and scarring

  • Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin renewal

  • Shorter downtime compared to CO2 laser resurfacing

How It Works

Step 1: Skin Assessment & Prep
We’ll evaluate your skin to ensure Erbium:YAG is a good fit for your concerns. A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to enhance comfort.

Step 2: Laser Application
The laser emits pulses that target water in the skin cells, vaporizing damaged outer layers while creating a controlled thermal injury in the dermis. This activates the body’s natural healing response and collagen remodeling.

Step 3: Regeneration & Recovery
Over the following week, old pigment cells shed and healthier, more elastic skin begins to emerge. Redness and mild peeling are expected during the healing process, with full results developing over several weeks.
