LASER MEDICINE.
Skin resurfacing with the Erbium laser is a method of skin rejuvenation in which superficial layers of skin are removed in a precise and controlled manner. The precise treatment with the Erbium laser can effectively reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and other skin irregularities without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The Erbium laser works with a special wavelength that is ideally suited to the upper layer of skin. This energy removes old, damaged skin cells and simultaneously stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastic fibers. The natural healing process ensures a fresh, smooth skin structure and a visibly rejuvenated complexion.
The Erbium laser is suitable for various skin problems and areas:
Compared to other laser methods, skin resurfacing with the Erbium laser is particularly gentle on the tissue and ensures rapid healing. The heat load on the skin is minimal, which reduces the risk of side effects such as redness or swelling. Visible results are often visible after just one treatment, and the skin's appearance continues to improve over the following weeks.
Before treatment, your skin will be thoroughly analyzed to ensure that the intensity and extent of laser treatment is optimally tailored to your needs.
The treatment itself is relatively painless and takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area. After skin resurfacing, it is important to protect the skin from the sun and use special care products to support healing and optimize the results.
The downtime after Erbium laser facial skin resurfacing depends on the depth of the treatment, which is customized for each individual, but is typically between 5 and 10 days.
During this time, you should avoid direct sunlight and the skin needs special care to support healing. Redness can persist for several weeks and can be easily concealed with make-up.
Light treatment
(e.g. superficial wrinkles or light pigmentation): about 5-7 days downtime. Slight redness and flaking may occur.
More intensive treatment
(e.g. deeper wrinkles or more severe skin changes): about 7-10 days. The skin may be more red, swollen and flaky.
