Spectrum Erbium YAG laser resurfacing is a precision-based treatment that gently removes damaged skin to improve fine lines, sun spots, acne scars, and uneven texture, while stimulating collagen for long-term renewal. Using the 2940 nm wavelength, the laser targets water in the skin for effective resurfacing with minimal heat and downtime.
Treatments can be tailored from a light polish to a deeper renewal, depending on your skin goals. Most sessions last 30–60 minutes, with 2 to 7 days of mild redness and peeling as your skin naturally regenerates.
Targets damaged skin with less heat than CO₂ lasers, reducing discomfort and speeding up recovery.
Effectively treats fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven tone for visibly renewed skin.
Stimulates natural collagen production to strengthen and firm skin over time.
This treatment is generally ideal for Fitzpatrick skin types I–III. Those with active acne, certain skin conditions, or darker skin tones may be better suited for other modalities. A consultation will help determine your best option.
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm tingling or light snap. We use a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
Erbium YAG can help with sun spots and superficial pigmentation, but melasma requires a more cautious approach. We may recommend alternative treatments depending on your history and skin type.
Yes. This laser can treat the neck, chest, hands, and other areas where skin shows signs of aging or sun damage.
While some patients see improvement after a single session, a series of treatments may be recommended for deeper scarring, fine lines, or textural issues. We’ll tailor a plan to match your skin’s needs and your aesthetic goals.
Initial results are often noticeable within 7–10 days. As collagen continues to build, you may see continued improvement for several weeks post-treatment.
Expect redness, dryness, and light peeling for a few days post-treatment. Deeper sessions may require up to a week of social downtime. You’ll be guided with thorough post-care instructions for optimal healing.
You’ll need to avoid sun exposure and follow a gentle skincare routine while your skin heals. Moisturizer and SPF are essential. We’ll provide a personalized post-treatment plan.
