How does erbium treatment work?

Erbium laser treatments use light energy to trigger several changes within your skin. These treatments are often referred to as laser skin resurfacing because they have the power to transform the look and feel of your skin. 

Some of the issues that erbium treatments can improve include:

• Loose or sagging skin
• Sun damage
• Acne or other scarring
• Age spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Rough skin texture

The ability to address multiple skin issues at once makes erbium treatments a great return on your aesthetic investment. 

What treatment areas respond well to erbium laser treatments?

The face is the most commonly treated area. Erbium treatments can deliver outstanding results, giving you a refreshed and renewed appearance. In general, the only way to achieve more impressive outcomes is through cosmetic surgery. Many people choose erbium skin resurfacing as a less costly and safer alternative.

Erbium treatments can also be performed on your neck, upper chest, or even the back of your hands. These are all areas that tend to show the signs of sun damage and aging first because they sustain more sun exposure over time.  

What is the recovery process like after erbium treatment?

It takes time for your body’s natural healing powers to respond to erbium treatment. Expect a full week of recovery time, during which you need to follow your practitioner’s instructions to ease healing. 

Be prepared to gently cleanse your skin once or twice each day using the products suggested by your provider. You might also be advised to apply protective cream or ointment to keep your skin properly hydrated. Avoid sun exposure, and once the initial healing period passes, be prepared to use high-quality sunscreen each and every day to help extend your results. 

Your practitioner will advise you on the timeline to achieve full healing. In general, people with lighter skin tones and hair will experience lingering pinkness, while those with darker skin will achieve a normal skin tone relatively quickly.
