What Is Erbium Laser Peel Therapy?

An Erbium laser peel is an advanced laser skin resurfacing treatment to address pronounced skin imperfections and irregularities, such as:

• Deep wrinkles and fine lines
• Severe textural irregularities
• Various types of scarring
• Pigmented lesions such as sunspots and freckles
• Actinic keratosis

This innovative procedure employs Erbium: YAG laser technology to deliver precise, controlled energy to these targeted areas in fractionated zones, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This approach stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production and cellular regeneration. Additionally, Erbium laser resurfacing offers customizable depth control, providing everything from superficial polishing to deep resurfacing.

Good Candidates for an Erbium Laser Peel

Ideal candidates for Erbium laser peel treatments include individuals of all skin types seeking significant improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Patients who have realistic expectations about their results and are committed to following proper post-treatment care instructions tend to achieve the best outcomes. 

The Procedure

The Erbium laser peel procedure begins with thorough skin preparation and the application of a topical anesthetic to ensure patient comfort. Our laser technicians carefully calibrate the Sciton® ProFractional™ system based on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes. The laser is then systematically applied to the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing process.

During the Erbium laser treatment, patients may experience a warming sensation as the laser energy is delivered to the targeted areas. The fractionated approach means that only a portion of the skin is treated at a time, which contributes to faster healing and reduced downtime. 

What Happens After an Erbium Laser Peel Session?

Immediately following treatment, patients can expect some redness and swelling, which typically subsides after several days of recovery. Most patients can return to their daily schedules in less than a week, though complete healing and final results may take several weeks to fully develop.

Be sure to keep the treated area(s) clean and moisturized while avoiding direct sun exposure. Patients should also avoid picking at any peeling skin and refrain from using harsh skincare products during healing.
