The Erbium Yag Laser is used to remove fine lines and pigmented lesions associated with sun damaged skin. An Erbium Yag Laser procedure involves approximately 2-5 days downtime and delivers great results for mild to moderate skin wrinkling and dyschromia. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Human skin is made up of approximately 64% water. The Erbium Laser energy is attracted to the water in our skin. The energy is then captured in the epidermis and dermis skin layers creating a thermal injury which causes changes in the skin. Once injured, the skin begins a very rapid process of repair and collagen stimulation.
