Erbium Laser Skin Treatment

Get an introduction to Dr. Lara Devgan’s erbium laser skin treatment in this TikTok.

---

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.

Tear Trough Augmentation: Rejuvenating Tired Eyes

The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging, often making individuals look tired or older than they feel. Tear trough augmentation is a non-surgical procedure designed to restore volume, smooth out hollows, and create a refreshed, youthful appearance.

What Causes Tear Trough Hollowing?

The tear trough is the groove that runs from the inner corner of the eye down toward the cheek. With age, the skin in this area becomes thinner, and fat loss can create shadows or deep depressions. Genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors also play a role in the severity of tear trough hollowing.

How Tear Trough Filler Works

Tear trough augmentation involves injecting hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, to restore lost volume and reduce the appearance of dark circles. The procedure is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking subtle yet effective rejuvenation.

What to Expect from the Procedure

The treatment is typically performed using a fine needle or cannula to ensure precision and minimize bruising. Patients may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days, but results are visible almost immediately and can last up to a year.

Expert Insights on Tear Trough Filler

Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Lara Devgan, known for her expertise in aesthetic treatments, emphasizes the importance of technique and filler selection in achieving natural-looking results. Overfilling or improper placement can lead to puffiness or an unnatural appearance, which is why an experienced injector is key.

Is Tear Trough Augmentation Right for You?

Ideal candidates are those with mild to moderate volume loss who wish to improve the tired or hollowed look under their eyes. A consultation with a qualified provider can help determine whether tear trough filler is the best option for your needs.

For those looking to refresh their appearance without surgery, tear trough augmentation offers a safe and effective solution with immediate, natural-looking results.

ELLE: Salmon Sperm Skincare? Does Dr. Lara Devgan Approve? Find out.

A... Strange Phenonmenon

Perhaps you’ve already seen a TikTok video about using salmon sperm for beauty. Harnessing DNA research dating from the 1980s, salmon polynucleotides, or DNA fragments, are purified and injected to help stimulate the production of collagen—the protein that gives skin its youthfulness.

What do the Professionals Think?

Some American doctors are holding out for stronger science, along with the FDA nod. a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, says, “I’m just wondering if it’s as efficacious as using another filler or product”; he’d love to see comparative studies.

Dr. Lara Devgan’s Take

Lara Devgan, MD, a plastic surgeon in New York, adds a further note of caution. “This is interesting as a talking point, but don’t do this. It’s very early. You never want to have that experiment happen on your face or body.”

Signature Procedure: Global Facial Optimization

Global facial optimization with:

• Buccal fat pad excision

• Tear trough augmentation

• Cheekbone augmentation

• Nonsurgical rhinoplasty

• Lip augmentation

• Neuromodulator brow lift

• Chin augmentation

  Buccal fat pad excision is a nuanced procedure that, when performed with precision, can enhance facial aesthetics in several ways. Here are five key ways I use it to improve facial balance and contour:
  
  1. Refining the Lower Face in Select Patients
  I use buccal fat pad excision to sculpt the lower third of the face in patients with full or rounded cheeks that obscure underlying bone structure. This helps create a more defined transition from the cheek to the jawline, enhancing the natural contour without over-hollowing.
  
  2. Improving Midface Definition
  In patients with mild to moderate midface ptosis or a heavy appearance in the lower cheek, a conservative excision of the buccal fat pad can improve the perception of cheekbone prominence. This enhances the Ogee curve and restores youthful definition.
  
  3. Balancing Jawline Contours
  For individuals with a weak or less prominent jawline, removing excess buccal fat can sharpen the lower face, creating a more angular and chiseled look. When paired with chin or jawline augmentation (implant or filler), the result is a more proportionate and structured lower face.
  
  4. Enhancing the Effects of Facelift Surgery
  In patients undergoing a facelift, selective buccal fat removal helps eliminate residual fullness in the mid-to-lower cheek area, refining the overall lift result. This is particularly beneficial in cases where soft tissue descent has led to a widened or boxy lower face.
  
  5. Correcting Facial Asymmetry
  Buccal fat asymmetry can contribute to an imbalanced appearance, particularly in patients with naturally fuller cheeks. I use tailored fat pad reduction—sometimes asymmetric excision—to harmonize the facial structure while maintaining natural volume where needed.
