The Erbium YAG 2940nm is a resurfacing device that can be used to treat a host of skin concerns and conditions. 

​

What does fractional resurfacing treat? 

Facial lines and wrinkles

Scarring

Uneven pigment

Sun damage 

Birthmarks

Acne scarring

​

How does the Erbium YAG laser work? 

The laser energy targets the water in your skin cells, vaporizing the cells to remove micro-layers of skin at a time. The device is also fractionated, creating micro-channels in the skin that trigger the body to generate new cells and produce more collagen. This leads to smoother, youthful skin with visible reduction in lines, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. 

​

What is the downtime? 

2-10 days 

​

Does it hurt? 

It depends on the intensity of treatments. Topical anesthesia is available prior to treatment. 

​

What happens post treatment?

Some redness and tenderness is expected, along with some peeling, flaking and superficial wounding with more intense treatments. 

​

When will I see results?

Onset results are visible in 4-10 days, depending on the intensity of your treatment. 

​

How many treatments are required? 

Some treatments require more than one session to achieve an optimal outcome. 

​

How long do results last?

Results can be very long-lasting after. Some patients enjoy their improvements for many years. Lighter treatments may need to be repeated more often to maintain a positive outcome. 

​

What are my steps to proceed?

Please schedule a consultation to determine whether this is the right treatment for your aesthetic needs. We will not treat without a proper consultation.
