Erbium Laser Resurfacing: Creating Rejuvenated Skin

At Physician Skin Services in St. Louis Park, MN, we believe that healthy, glowing skin is achievable through the use of expert aesthetic treatment. If you’re seeking a transformative solution to address skin challenges, Erbium laser resurfacing might be exactly what you’re looking for. We’ve developed this guide to help explain what Erbium laser treatment is, how it works, its benefits, and why you should consider booking an appointment at Physician Skin Services.

What Is Erbium Laser Resurfacing?


Erbium laser resurfacing is designed to rejuvenate your skin by targeting superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles. Unlike some other laser methods, Erbium laser treatment minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in a more focused removal of old skin cell layers. Because of how precise an Erbium laser is, there is minimal chance for side effects and a smooth recovery time.

How Does it Work?


The Erbium laser will emit high-energy light pulses. These pulses are absorbed by water molecules in the skin, causing controlled vaporization of the targeted tissue. As the old skin cells are gently removed, the body’s natural healing process kicks in, stimulating collagen production and revealing fresh, youthful skin beneath.

What Erbium Laser Resurfacing Treats and Improves


  1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Erbium laser treatment effectively smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful appearance.
  2. Sun Damage: Whether it’s sunspots, uneven pigmentation, or more, Erbium laser resurfacing can fade these signs of sun damage.
  3. Acne Scars:  Erbium lasers help minimize their appearance, promoting smoother skin texture.
  4. Skin Tone and Texture: Erbium treatment enhances overall skin tone and texture, leaving you with a rejuvenating complexion.
  5. Age Spots: This treatment can help minimize or erase them completely! 


Downtime and Recovery


One of the standout features of Erbium laser resurfacing is its minimal downtime. Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for a few days, similar to a mild sunburn. You can resume your daily activities within a week, but we will also provide you with an aftercare routine to maximize your results. Treatment time, discomfort, and downtime depend upon the intensity of the treatment, and the goals of the patient.
