What is Erbium Laser?

Erbium laser is an advanced cosmetic treatment used in dermatology and aesthetics to rejuvenate the skin, reduce signs of ageing, and treat various skin concerns.

It’s an ablative fractional laser, which works to resurface the skin by removing its outer layer using a highly controlled microdamage, in small fractions as a time to avoid damage to surrounding skin.

This process triggers the body’s natural healing reaction, which prompts natural skin remodelling, collagen and elastin building, and skin renewal.

It gets its name from the fact that it uses a laser beam generated by the element erbium, which is highly effective for precise and controlled skin resurfacing.

This procedure is particularly popular for its ability to address wrinkles, fine lines, scars, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities.

How erbium laser works

During an erbium laser treatment, a highly focused beam of light energy is directed at the skin’s surface. The laser energy is absorbed by water molecules in the skin cells, causing them to vaporise.

The erbium laser is set to 2940 nm, which is closely aligned with water naturally present in the skin. As soon as the laser’s energy hits the skin, it is mainly absorbed by the water, so there is no damage to nearby skin cells. The water vapour has a cooling effect on the treated skin, allowing several passes over the same area, which isn’t always possible with other lasers.

This process removes thin layers of damaged or aged skin, layer by layer, with exceptional precision. The controlled removal of skin stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to collagen production and the growth of new, healthier skin cells.

What is Erbium Laser Used For?

Erbium laser treatment is a versatile and advanced cosmetic procedure used to address various skin concerns and imperfections.

It is primarily employed in dermatology and aesthetics to rejuvenate the skin, improve its texture, and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

Erbium laser treatment is used for:

Wrinkle reduction. Erbium laser treatment can effectively minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. By promoting collagen production and resurfacing the skin, it results in a smoother complexion.

Scar removal. Erbium laser is used to reduce the visibility of scars caused by acne, surgery, or injuries. The laser precisely removes the damaged skin layers, allowing new, healthy skin to replace the scar tissue.

Skin resurfacing. Erbium laser resurfacing is ideal for improving skin texture and tone. It removes the topmost layers of the skin, eliminating sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation. The procedure results in a more even complexion and a youthful glow.

Repair sun damage. Sun-damaged skin, characterised by wrinkles, pigmentation irregularities, and rough texture, can be significantly improved with erbium laser treatment. The laser targets sun-damaged areas, encouraging the growth of healthier skin.

Hyperpigmentation. Erbium laser can address various pigmentation issues, such as age spots, freckles, and melasma (dark patches). The laser energy breaks down the excess melanin in the skin, leading to a more uniform skin tone.

Skin tightening. Erbium laser stimulates collagen production, which results in firmer and tighter skin. This makes it a valuable treatment for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, particularly around the neck, jowls, and décolletage.

Overall rejuvenation. Erbium laser treatment offers overall skin rejuvenation by removing damaged skin layers and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This results in a refreshed, youthful appearance.

It’s important to note that erbium laser treatments should be performed by qualified and experienced medical professionals to ensure safety and optimal results.

The efficacy of erbium laser treatment may vary based on your skin type, and your specific concern being addressed.

A thorough consultation with one of our expert Skin & Laser Therapists will determine if erbium laser treatment is suitable for your current skin condition and concerns.

Who is Suitable for Erbium Laser Treatments?

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for Erbium Laser treatment. Reasons why you shouldn’t have Erbium Laser treatment include:

Skin conditions. If you have an active skin infection, cold sore, open wound, or inflammatory skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, you may not be suitable for erbium laser treatment until these conditions have resolved.

Recent sun exposure or tanning. You should avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before erbium laser treatment, as it can increase the risk of complications and side effects.

Pregnancy. We advise women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding to postpone elective cosmetic procedures, including erbium laser, until after this period.

History of keloid scarring. Individuals with a history of keloid scarring may be at a higher risk of developing keloids after erbium laser treatment.

Medical conditions and medications. Some of these may be contraindications for erbium laser treatment. It’s essential to discuss your medical history and any medications you are taking with your practitioner to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any side effects or risks of Erbium laser?

Erbium Laser treatments may have some common side effects, including temporary redness, swelling, and peeling. In rare cases, there can be pigment changes, scarring, or risks of infection.

What is the downtime of this treatment?

The downtime after an erbium laser treatment can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the procedure. Typically, there may be a few days of redness and mild swelling, followed by several days of peeling and healing.

The downtime can be longer for more aggressive treatments but in most cases, shouldn’t last longer than 2 weeks.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required depends on your specific goals and the condition being treated.

Some patients may see significant results after a single treatment, while others might require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.

When will I see results?

The timeframe for seeing results of Erbium Laser treatment can vary depending on the specific procedure and the individual’s skin type and condition.

Generally, for superficial skin rejuvenation (such as the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, and mild pigmentation issues) results may be visible within 2-4 weeks after the procedure.

However, for more extensive treatments or to address deeper skin concerns, it may take several weeks to several months to see the full benefits of Erbium Laser treatment.

A good rule of thumb is 3 treatments, spaced 4–8 weeks apart with results seen along the way. The true final result is usually seen at 6 weeks after the last treatment.

What kind of aftercare will I need for erbium laser treatments?

Aftercare typically involves keeping the treated area clean, applying ointments as recommended by your practitioner, and avoiding sun exposure during the healing phase.

We recommend avoiding active skincare for 7–14 days as well as avoiding exercise for 48 hours after your treatment.

How does erbium compare to other laser treatments?

Erbium Laser is known for its precision in targeting specific skin concerns and is often used for resurfacing and treating fine lines, wrinkles, and certain skin conditions.

It’s considered less aggressive than some other lasers (such as CO2), which may result in a shorter recovery time.

The choice between lasers depends on your unique skin needs and the recommendation of your practitioner.
