Gentle Precision for Lasting Results
Erbium YAG laser resurfacing works by precisely removing damaged skin cells and stimulating your body's natural collagen production process. This controlled approach means you get significant improvement in fine lines, acne scarring, sun damage, and overall skin texture without the extended downtime of more aggressive treatments. The results continue to improve over the weeks following your treatment as new collagen forms, creating smoother, more radiant skin that looks naturally refreshed rather than artificially altered.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Erbium YAG laser resurfacing treatments.
How much discomfort should I expect during treatment?
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We use topical numbing cream to maximize your comfort, and the treatment is generally very tolerable.
How many sessions will I need for optimal results?
Many clients see significant improvement after just one treatment. For deeper concerns or more dramatic results, we may recommend 2-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
What's the difference between Erbium YAG and CO2 laser?
Erbium YAG offers gentler resurfacing with less downtime than CO2 laser, while still providing excellent results for fine lines, texture, and pigmentation. CO2 is more aggressive for deeper wrinkles and scarring.
How long is the recovery period?
You can expect 3-7 days of mild redness and skin sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. Most clients return to normal activities within a week, with makeup application possible after 5-7 days.
Is Erbium YAG suitable for all skin types?
Erbium YAG is safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones. During your consultation, we'll assess your individual skin characteristics to ensure this is the best treatment option for you.
When will I see my final results?
You'll notice immediate improvement in skin texture and tone, with continued enhancement over 3-6 months as new collagen forms. Results can last 2-5 years with proper skincare maintenance.
Can I combine Erbium YAG with other treatments?
Yes, Erbium YAG works beautifully with treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and PRP therapy. We'll design a comprehensive treatment plan to maximize your results safely.
