Erbium Micropeel

What does the Erbium Micropeel Laser do?

Erbium Micropeel Laser is a resurfacing procedure for the epidermal layer of skin. The system effectively treats various skin conditions, ranging from benign pigmentation on the skin lesions to fine lines and wrinkles. Different possible settings for laser energy intensity allow the Erbium laser to provide precise, superficial resurfacing, which requires minimal downtime, and deep dermal resurfacing, which provides visible, long-lasting results with more recovery time. When the wavelength of laser energy is emitted at the treatment area, the light reacts with the water in the skin, causing controlled damage to the epidermis and dermis, triggering the body’s natural healing response. As a result, collagen production and skin cell turnover increase, revealing new, healthy, more evenly textured skin.

What are the benefits of Erbium Micropeel Laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing treatment has many benefits and can help to address a range of cosmetic concerns, improving skin tone and texture. Compared to other ablative lasers, such as the carbon dioxide laser (CO2 laser), the Erbium Yag laser has comparable cosmetic results with less downtime necessary and fewer adverse events, like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The Erbium Yag laser can treat specific areas of the skin with fractional laser technology, allowing for a more targeted approach to treatment and leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. Studies have shown that this also decreases the recovery time, allowing for fewer side effects and faster healing.
