What is Erbium Laser?
Erbium lasers, like carbon dioxide lasers, are powerful ablative lasers designed to remove the outer layers of the skin using a burst of energy. Laser resurfacing, also known as a laser peel, has advantages over other methods of resurfacing.
Some of these advantages include less bleeding, more precision with the ability to target tiny areas like moles, and most importantly, a shorter recovery time. Patients who have had Erbium laser treatments recover twice as quickly as those who have had CO2 laser treatments. There is little burning of surrounding tissues. Side effects may include swelling, redness, and bruising, but this lasts for just a week. The dramatic resurfacing results this laser treatment yields may last up to five years!
How does the Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
The Erbium laser emits light that is absorbed by water as the light hits the skin. The tissue that contains water is vaporized. The excess heat in the area that is generated by the laser results in collagen shrinkage and stimulates the formation of collagen which will tighten the skin further. As healthy skin cells are mostly composed of water, the heat produced by the laser light is scattered over the skin. The object is to damage the skin to stimulate it just enough to promote healing. This damage will be similar to a burn and afterward, the skin will ooze and weep. Deeper wrinkles require more treatment, while shallow scars and wrinkles may be completely erased after just one treatment.

All Lasers are not Created Equal
Lasers are not all alike. The Erbium laser is useful in eradicating mild to moderate wrinkles caused by sun damage, as compared to wrinkles that are a result of facial expressions. Acne scars, scars caused by surgery or trauma, age or liver spots, and both epidermal (surface) and dermal (subsurface) lesions may be treated. This type of laser works wonders on darker skin types because it is less likely to cause hypopigmentation or lightening of the skin. Facial skin is the most suitable area of the body for treatment because of the abundance of dermal glands. These glands, such as the sweat and oil glands, provide the new cells that will migrate to the surface of the skin. Erbium lasers have been used on other areas of the body such as the neck, chest, arms, and hands, but with fewer dermal glands these areas are more likely to scar. The erbium laser skin rejuvenation treatment is performed on an outpatient basis by our doctors, whose offices in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia are convenient to all Northern Virginia and greater Washington, D.C. areas. Our providers use a local anesthetic and perhaps a mild sedative so that patients remain awake but do not feel a thing.
A partial laser abrasion, treating specific areas such as wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or forehead, may last 30-45 minutes. The full-face treatment takes an hour and a half to two hours. After treatment, the skin is kept moist with a topical emollient. Staying home from work for a week is suggested, but by day four or day five, the skin will look almost normal with some redness similar to the appearance of a sunburn.

Erbium Laser FAQs
What does Erbium Laser do?
The Erbium laser is a treatment commonly used for patients with uneven skin texture irregularities, uneven skin tone, aged skin, and other average skin concerns. It is effective in addressing moderate lines and wrinkles, as well as overall skin issues related to sun damage and aging. The laser works by emitting light that is absorbed by water in the skin, vaporizing tissue and stimulating collagen production. This results in tighter, smoother skin with improved texture and tone solving a variety of skin concerns.
How long do Erbium Laser results last?
The majority of patients can expect to see results lasting for several years after an Erbium laser skin resurfacing treatment. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as age, skin type, and sun exposure. To maintain the results, it is important to follow a consistent skincare routine and protect the skin from sun damage. Regular follow-up treatments may also be recommended to prolong the effects of the Erbium laser treatment.
How many Erbium Laser treatments are needed?
The number of Erbium laser treatments needed varies depending on the severity of skin concerns. For mild issues, one treatment may be sufficient. However, for moderate to severe concerns, two or three treatment sessions may be recommended. These sessions are typically spaced out to allow for proper healing and collagen production. In some cases, monthly laser resurfacing sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. It is important to consult with a skincare professional to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and goals.
How much is Erbium Laser treatment?
The cost of Erbium Laser skin resurfacing treatment can vary depending on several factors. These factors may include the extent of the treatment needed, the specific skin concerns being addressed, the experience and expertise of the provider, and the geographic location of the practice. Additionally, consultations for laser skin treatments may also play a role in determining overall costs. During a consultation, the skincare professional will assess your individual needs and goals, recommend a personalized treatment plan, and provide an estimate of the total cost involved. It is important to discuss pricing and any potential financing options with your provider before undergoing Erbium Laser treatment.
