What is Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that uses advanced laser technology to remove the outer layers of skin. Also known as a laser peel, lasabrasion, or laser vaporization, this treatment is designed to address a variety of skin conditions.
The process involves the use of short and concentrated pulsating beams of light that interact with the water within your skin, vaporizing the outer layers of the epidermis while simultaneously heating the underlying layers of the dermis.
This jump-starts the body’s natural healing processes to increase the production of collagen and elastin, as well as triggering the production of new and healthy skin cells.
Benefits of Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing helps smooth the texture of the skin, reduce signs of aging skin such as wrinkles, sun damage, scarring, discoloration, hypo- or hyperpigmentation and helps with the creation of new skin and volume through collagen.
Other benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing include:
- Reverse the aging and sun-damaging effects
- Improve texture and eliminate wrinkles
- Improve scars on the skin
- Replenish lost collagen and elastin

Our Laser Skin Resurfacing Process
Over the course of several visits, a combination or sequence of laser skin treatments may be suggested in order to deliver the desired results. During the consultation, our providers will create a treatment plan that is formulated to your skin and your specific concerns.
In order to provide comfortability, a topical anesthetic will be applied to numb the treatment area.
After treatment, you will be given detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and to reduce the risk of side effects. Make sure to follow all aftercare instructions to achieve the best results.
After treatment, you should expect for your skin to feel tender and warm, and look as though you have a sunburn.
