Erbium YAG Laser Skin Resurfacing

Erbium YAG laser resurfacing is an advanced noninvasive laser treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and sun damage. The laser gently removes very thin layers of damaged skin and stimulates new collagen so your skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even in tone and texture.

Most patients notice visible improvement after one treatment, with results that continue to build over a series of sessions. Downtime is usually short, and with consistent skincare and daily sun protection, results can be long lasting.

How Long can Erbium YAG Laser Results Last?

Choosing Erbium YAG laser resurfacing at YMD gives you improvements that can last for years when paired with good skincare and sun protection. The treatment stimulates new collagen, which continues to remodel your skin for several months after your session.

Many patients see noticeable smoothing and brightening after one treatment, with deeper lines and scars often improving further over a short series of sessions. Once you reach your goal, you do not need frequent touch ups. Some patients return every one to two years for a gentle maintenance treatment to keep their skin looking smooth, clear, and refreshed over time.

Limited Professional Attention
Typical sessions may be handled by general staff, often lacking the advanced expertise needed for optimal safety and effect.
Routine, One-Size-Fits-All Methods
Most generic treatments utilize standardized protocols, overlooking your skin’s individual challenges and delivering less noticeable change.
Temporary, Subtle Effects
Conventional techniques may temporarily improve appearance, but seldom address the root causes for lasting skin transformation—leaving you with minimal, short-lived benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Erbium YAG laser resurfacing is a skin rejuvenation treatment that removes very thin layers of damaged skin and stimulates new collagen. It is used to improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and overall texture.

The laser energy is absorbed by water in the skin, which allows precise removal of surface layers while heating the deeper tissue to trigger collagen remodeling. This process reveals fresher skin and gradually improves firmness and smoothness.

Most patients describe the treatment as warm or prickly rather than truly painful. A topical numbing cream and soothing measures are used to keep you as comfortable as possible.

You can expect redness, mild swelling, and flaking similar to a sunburn for several days as new skin appears. Most patients feel presentable for work and social activities within about one week, depending on the depth of treatment.

Many patients see visible improvement after a single session. Deeper lines, scars, or more advanced sun damage may benefit from a short series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.

You can expect smoother texture, softer fine lines, and a brighter, more even skin tone. Results continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms and can be maintained with good skincare and sun protection.

Temporary redness, swelling, flaking, and mild discomfort are common during healing. Less common risks include infection, pigment changes, or scarring, which we minimize by careful screening, precise settings, and detailed aftercare.

You will be asked to avoid tanning, certain skincare products, and sometimes specific medications before treatment. Our team gives you a simple written plan so your skin is calm, healthy, and ready for the laser.

Most Erbium YAG laser resurfacing visits take about thirty to sixty minutes in the office. The exact time depends on the size of the area and the intensity of the treatment.

At YMD Facial Plastic Surgery your Erbium YAG treatments are designed and overseen by a double board certified facial plastic surgeon with deep experience in laser resurfacing of the face and eyelids. You receive a fully customized plan, medical grade technology, and close follow up so your results are both natural and long lasting.
