TREATMENTS
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Erbium laser skin resurfacing utilizes a high-precision laser beam that targets the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and superficial dermis. This controlled laser energy removes damaged skin cells and stimulates collagen production, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
Unlike older CO2 lasers, Erbium lasers are gentler on the skin, making them suitable for a wider range of skin types and conditions.
Benefits of Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing

Versatility: Treats a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation issues.
Minimal Downtime: Faster healing and recovery compared to traditional CO2 laser resurfacing.
Stimulates Collagen: Promotes natural collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
