What is Erbium laser resurfacing?
The Erbium laser can be used to treat blemishes, lines, and discoloration in the face, neck, chest, and hands. Unlike CO2 lasers, the Erbium is highly precise. It addresses only a narrow strip of compromised tissue, minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy skin cells and reducing side effects such as swelling, bruising, and tenderness after the procedure.
How does the Erbium laser work?
During your session, the laser emits powerful energy beams that get absorbed by the skin’s water molecules. As a result, the outermost layer of skin is vaporized to reveal a healthier new complexion. At the same time, the process triggers the regeneration of collagen, a youth-enhancing protein, ensuring longer-term skin rejuvenation.
What are the benefits of Erbium laser resurfacing?
- Combats sun damage
- Corrects lines, wrinkles, and creases
- Treats acne scarring
- Reverses hyperpigmentation
- No downtime
- Safe for all skin tones
- Enhances self-confidence

How should I prepare for Erbium laser resurfacing?
Patients should arrive at their appointment with the skin thoroughly cleansed and free from cosmetics. For about 4 weeks prior to Erbium laser resurfacing, you should avoid excessive sun exposure as well as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and other resurfacing treatments. Additionally, you should discuss your current topical skincare regimen with Dr. Kaado, as products containing Retin-A, glycolic acid, and Vitamin C may need to be discontinued before your appointment.
Who is a good candidate for Erbium laser resurfacing?
Many patients with darker skin tones turn to Erbium for resurfacing as it is known for its versatility and gentleness. However, it is still important to undergo an individual evaluation with Dr. Kaado to ensure that the treatment will accomplish your cosmetic goals safely.
In general, a good candidate is a patient seeking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, spots, scarring, enlarged pores, and poor skin texture or tone. Erbium laser resurfacing is not advised for those with active skin infections, cold sores, or a history of keloid scarring or for those taking Accutane. Our team will perform a thorough skin analysis and review of your medical history before recommending the Erbium laser.
What can I expect during treatment?
Before the laser energy is applied, your skin will be numbed with a local anesthetic to make sure you are comfortable and at ease during your session. Treatment time for isolated skin regions is usually between 30 and 45 minutes, while it can take up to 2 hours to treat the entire face. After your treatment, a light dressing is applied, which should remain in place for 24 hours.
How many sessions will I need?
Some patients can achieve their aesthetic goals in a single appointment with the Erbium laser. However, others with more pronounced concerns may need a series of several appointments. It all depends on your goals and the severity of your skin imperfections. After initial laser therapy, treatments can be repeated at 6 and 12-month intervals.
What can I expect after my procedure?
Immediately after your appointment, keep your skin dry, and do not apply any creams, lotions, serums, or cleansers for 6-8 hours. Do not use ice, soap, or sunscreen. After 6-8 hours, you can apply a gentle moisturizer such as Elta MD Moisturizer or petroleum ointment to soothe the skin. You can use a soft gel ice pack to relieve flushing or mild swelling for up to 48 hours. Sleep with your head elevated using as many pillows as you need to stay upright.
During the next several days, you may encounter minor redness and a harsh texture to the skin. You can cleanse and moisturize the skin with medical-grade skincare products. Once the complexion begins to peel, refrain from scrubbing, touching, or exfoliating the skin. The peeling should last 7-10 days as the body sheds dead skin cells and debris. Avoid smoking and keep alcoholic drinks, intense exercise, swimming, and sun exposure to a minimum for the first week of healing. Wear a sunhat and sunblock whenever you venture out in the sun.
