The erbium laser has a wavelength of 2940nm which is primarily attracted to the water in skin, which causes a controlled ablation of a very fine layer of skin. Tattoos or permanent makeup will not be affected by this laser.
Erbium laser resurfacing is an advanced treatment that uses a precise erbium (Er:YAG) laser to remove the outermost layers of damaged skin. As the surface is gently ablated, the body responds by producing fresh, healthy skin and new collagen — revealing a smoother, more even complexion. At Dr. Stacie Weber's clinic in Barrie, erbium resurfacing is performed in a medical setting for controlled, predictable results.
The erbium laser delivers energy in a way that targets the skin's surface with minimal heat spread to the surrounding tissue. This precision means effective resurfacing with a generally shorter recovery than older, more aggressive laser treatments. Depending on your goals, treatment can be tailored from a lighter refresh to a deeper resurfacing.
Erbium resurfacing suits many people looking to improve skin texture, tone and early signs of aging. The best candidacy and treatment depth are determined during a consultation, where Dr. Weber reviews your skin type, goals and medical history.
