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.
