Overview

Erbium Laser Treatments

South Bay Erbium Skin Resurfacing

Experience cutting-edge resurfacing that targets age spots, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage while encouraging collagen renewal. Additionally, face, neck, and chest can all be treated with precision and typically minimal downtime.

Erbium laser (Er:YAG) gently removes damaged outer layers to reveal smoother, clearer skin. Because it produces less surrounding heat than some other lasers, recovery is often faster and more comfortable; consequently, Erbium is an excellent choice for moderate concerns like fine lines, texture, and pigment.

About the treatment

What Is Erbium Laser Resurfacing?

How It Works

Er:YAG energy is attracted to water in the skin, so it precisely removes thin surface layers and kick-starts renewal. Because heat spreads less than with some lasers, surrounding tissue stays cooler. As a result, healing is typically smoother and downtime is often shorter.

Comfort & Downtime

  • ◽️ Topical anesthetic is applied; most feel warmth or a mild sting.
  • ◽️ Expect redness and flaking for ~3–7 days (fractional ~2–4).
  • ◽️ Additionally, makeup is usually fine after peeling completes—follow your aftercare.

Common Treatment Areas

  • ◽️ Fine lines & wrinkles (moderate facial lines)
  • ◽️ Age spots & sun damage for more even tone
  • ◽️Shallow acne scars and texture irregularities
  • ◽️ Enlarged pores and uneven texture
  • ◽️ Melasma (gentle, parameter-controlled approach)
  • ◽️ Face, neck & chest

Who It’s Best For

  • ◽️ Moderate lines, texture, and pigment concerns
  • ◽️ Those seeking visible results with measured downtime
  • ◽️ Many skin types with customized settings
  • ◽️ However, deeper wrinkles may respond better to CO₂ or a combined plan.

Erbium or Fractional Erbium?

Traditional Erbium

Treats the entire surface of the area for more dramatic change in fewer sessions. Therefore, expect ~5–7 days of recovery.

Fractional Erbium

Creates micro-columns while leaving surrounding tissue intact, with less downtime (~2–4 days). Typically, a series includes 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Personalized Plan

We tailor depth, density, and session count to your goals, timeline, and skin type. Furthermore, we often blend modalities to maximize outcomes.

Why Erbium Laser?
