The erbium laser is a highly precise and effective laser technology widely used in dermatology and plastic surgery for skin resurfacing, scar revision, and wrinkle reduction.
How does the laser work?
Operating at a wavelength of 2,940 nm, it is strongly absorbed by water, making it ideal for ablative treatments with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues. Compared to CO₂ lasers, erbium lasers offer a gentler alternative with faster healing times, reduced risk of hyperpigmentation, and better suitability for patients with darker skin tones.
Purposes & Uses
They effectively treat fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin texture, promoting collagen remodeling and long-term skin rejuvenation. Additionally, fractional erbium lasers allow for customized treatment depths, balancing efficacy with downtime, making them a preferred choice for both mild and aggressive resurfacing procedures.
