WHAT DOES THE ERBIUM LASER DO?
Erbium laser resurfacing is a procedure that utilizes advanced laser technology to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing new, refreshed skin cells below. This can be used to help smooth and tighten the texture of the skin and create an even skin tone. Erbium can be done on the face, neck, chest, hands and other parts of the body to improve/eliminate surface pigmentation.

The Erbium YAG is one of the most popular and effective ablative lasers used today. It is used for skin resurfacing and is customizable for many different skin types and the intensity of treatment desired.
Erbium:YAG laser skin resurfacing is an effective technique for minimally invasive and effective management of many skin conditions and lesions.
YAG lasers require a shorter recovery time compared to CO2 lasers as they penetrate a lower depth into the skin.
YAG lasers deliver less thermal damage to the surrounding skin tissue, allowing for much faster healing.
The Erbium:YAG laser is capable of achieving superior resurfacing results, while offering many advantages to the patient, e.g., reduced anesthetic requirements, shorter healing time, reduced erythema, less risk of pigmentary change, and more flexibility for facial skin resurfacing. This laser skin treatment can be used for face rejuvenation, hand rejuvenation, arms and legs and is a popular skin treatment for neck rejuvenation and more.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE ERBIUM LASER?
When will I see results? How long do they last?
Recovery times will vary depending on your treatment. Skin should start sloughing off 3-4 days after the
treatment, a rosy “glow” can remain for several weeks. Make-up may be applied to minimize redness. Generally, 3-4 days off should be sufficient, 3-5 days for more aggressive treatments. The top layer of skin will re-grow and can be covered with makeup within about one week, at which time you will see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and wrinkle appearance. Deeper laser treatments also
stimulate the growth of new collagen over the next four to six months. With proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle, results may last a significantly long time.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR ERBIUM SKIN RESURFACING IN LEBANON?
The Erbium laser provides a safer, more accurate and less painful method of restoring a softer, smoother, more youthful-appearing skin. Patients can have their procedure performed in office in usually under a hour.
Topical numbing cream is typically used to help mitigate any discomfort. Erythema (redness) can last a few hours up to a few days, depending on the intensity of the treatment. A sunburn sensation that may include
some mild discomfort, may persist for up to 24-72 hours. Patients may use cooling cloths to sooth areas of discomfort. Typically, a few days after treatment, mild peeling of the skin will begin, revealing the newly rejuvenated skin.
