Fractional Erbium Skin Polish
The fractional erbium laser delivers exceptional results with less downtime and discomfort compared to traditional fully ablative laser resurfacing, without compromising effectiveness. It also outperforms non-ablative lasers, which are less effective at removing surface skin damage.
By producing less bulk heat than other resurfacing lasers, the erbium laser allows for gentle, layer-by-layer removal of damaged skin. This results in reduced redness and swelling post-treatment, promoting a quicker recovery. Its gentle nature makes it a safe and effective option for both lighter and darker skin tones.
FAQs
Fractional erbium laser resurfacing is an effective anti-aging treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. It significantly improves acne scars, reverses sun damage, reduces superficial wrinkles, increases skin thickness, and enhances overall skin tone and texture.
This ablative laser breaks its beam into a grid of tiny microbeams, creating microscopic injuries in the skin’s top layer. Since only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing is quicker, and downtime is minimal. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, more even skin texture and tone.
Fractional erbium laser is ideal for patients in good health who seek skin rejuvenation with a quicker recovery. It is especially effective for those with superficial to moderately deep lines and wrinkles, as well as those with sun damage, brown spots, or acne scars.
Most patients are fully recovered and back to their regular activities within 3 days, depending on the treated area and energy level used. Results include consistent improvement of wrinkles, sun damage, and scars for up to 6 months. Initially, you may experience some swelling, but within a week, you’ll notice softer, younger-looking skin. Post-treatment instructions will be provided to ensure the best results, including the importance of sunscreen, as your skin may be more sensitive to the sun during the healing process.
Fractional erbium laser resurfacing offers many of the same benefits as traditional laser resurfacing, but with less downtime and minimal risks, making it a great option for skin rejuvenation.
Erbium Yag Laser Skin Resurfacing
As we age, our skin can begin to show signs of time, including fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and increased skin laxity. Scarring from acne or injuries, as well as the development of benign and malignant lesions due to sun damage, can also affect the skin’s appearance. In the past, many people believed that a facelift was the only way to achieve complete facial rejuvenation. However, facelifts involve significant risks and side effects. Fortunately, we offer a safe and effective alternative: Erbium YAG skin resurfacing laser treatment. Now this won’t be a facelift but it will be more natural and rejuvenating.
The Erbium YAG is an ablative laser designed to resurface and rejuvenate the skin. Its ablative nature removes the outer layer of skin, kickstarting the body’s natural healing process, which promotes skin cell turnover and reveals clearer, tighter skin as the area heals. The light energy also penetrates deeply into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and treating skin conditions from the inside out. Compared to other ablative lasers like the carbon dioxide laser, the Erbium YAG requires less recovery time and has a lower risk of side effects, making it an ideal option for those looking for effective skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
FAQs
Erbium laser resurfacing is an ablative treatment that removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis) while creating controlled damage to the inner skin layer (dermis). This rejuvenates the skin, helping to improve its overall appearance and give it a more youthful look. The Erbium YAG laser can be used for both superficial and medium-depth resurfacing on areas like the face, hands, neck, and chest. This treatment effectively addresses various skin concerns, such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and even benign or malignant lesions. Compared to other ablative lasers, such as CO2 lasers, the Erbium laser offers shorter recovery times and a lower risk of side effects.
The Erbium YAG laser works by emitting light energy that affects the skin in two key ways: resurfacing the epidermis and inducing thermal damage in the dermis. On the surface, the laser vaporizes the treatment area, triggering the skin’s natural healing process, which promotes skin cell turnover and rejuvenates the skin by improving texture and tone. This also helps reduce acne scars, surgical scars, and hyperpigmentation from sun damage. Deeper penetration of the laser stimulates collagen and elastin production in the dermis, helping tighten the skin, reduce fine lines, and improve overall skin tone. The laser’s fractional technology allows for targeted treatment, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
The first step in the Erbium laser resurfacing process is a consultation to assess your treatment area and discuss your aesthetic goals. During the treatment, the skin is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. Prior to the treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and exfoliating treatments for several weeks. The procedure time will vary based on the size of the treatment area. Post-treatment care instructions will be provided to help ensure the best recovery and results.
The Erbium YAG laser is suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun damage. It is also ideal for those looking to tighten skin or remove benign or malignant lesions.
Erbium laser skin resurfacing offers numerous benefits, including the improvement of skin texture, tone, and elasticity. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars while treating sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Compared to other ablative lasers like CO2 lasers, the Erbium YAG laser delivers similar cosmetic results with less downtime and fewer risks, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The fractional nature of the Erbium laser allows for a more targeted treatment, reducing damage to surrounding tissue and speeding up recovery time.
Erbium laser resurfacing is effective for a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Reducing hyperpigmentation, such as sun damage, dark spots, and age spots
- Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth
- Improving acne scars, surgical scars, and injury scars
- Correcting irregular skin texture
- Tightening skin and reducing skin laxity
Each Erbium treatment typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes. A topical numbing gel will be applied one hour before the procedure to ensure your comfort.
Immediately after the treatment, your skin will feel tight, and may appear red and swollen. By day 3, your skin may feel dry, and it is recommended to use a moisturizer. Most patients see full recovery in 1 to 2 weeks.
For optimal results, we recommend 2-3 treatments spaced about 1 month apart. To maintain your results, a yearly touch-up treatment is suggested.
During the procedure, you may feel a warm, prickly sensation. Most patients find the discomfort to be very tolerable.
Common side effects include temporary redness and swelling. In rare cases, mild acne may develop in the treated areas. However, these side effects are generally short-lived and resolve during the healing process.

Photofacial, also known as photorejuvenation, is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to correct various types of skin damage. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, age spots, acne scars, freckles, wrinkles, blemishes, or the redness associated with Rosacea, photofacials can help restore your skin’s youthful appearance. While photorejuvenation can’t cure Rosacea, it’s an effective treatment to help manage flare-ups and reduce redness.
If you’re ready to refresh your skin and bring back your youthful glow, schedule your Photofacial at ReNu & Revive Wellness MedSpa today!
FAQs
Photofacials are a non-surgical procedure with no downtime. This treatment uses intense, non-erosive light waves to target skin tissue damage and even treat hyperpigmentation (darker patches) without harming the surrounding healthy skin cells. As a result, you can quickly return to your normal routine without interruption.
Photofacials utilize Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which works differently than traditional lasers. While lasers typically use a single wavelength of light, IPL uses a broad spectrum of light to target multiple layers of skin without causing damage to surrounding cells. During the treatment, brief flashes of light are applied to the treatment area.
As the IPL flashes, you’ll feel a mild warming sensation as it stimulates your skin’s natural healing process. The light also promotes the production of new collagen, which helps with the skin rejuvenation process. By working on both the outer layer and underlying tissue of your skin, IPL Photorejuvenation improves texture, tone, and overall skin appearance, leaving you with a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
