ERBIUM LASER TREATMENT AT A GLANCE

WHAT IT DOES: Erbium laser is an example of a solid-state laser. As the light from an erbium laser hits the skin it is absorbed by water inside the skin cells resulting in their destruction. The heat generated in the area surrounding the target tissue results in shrinkage, or “tightening” of existing collagen strands while also stimulating the formation of new collagen. Erbium laser is more active on the upper layers of the skin and cannot penetrate to the depths of a gas state laser, such as CO2 lasers. However, erbium laser is quite versatile and can treat large and very small areas. The high precision of erbium laser makes it very effective for treating small areas but also imperfections in the appearance of skin such as acne scars, dark spots, uneven tone and texture among other issues.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: As with other treatments that produce high levels of heat in the skin, erbium laser may not be appropriate for some darker skin types because of the risk of stimulating unwanted pigmentation. Similarly, in treating dark circles around the eyes, if the darkness is due to a component of pooling blood, an erbium laser may not be the best choice and other treatment options, such as under eye filler may be more helpful. As always, before proceeding with erbium laser it’s important to discuss all available treatments and possible side effects with a medical practitioner.
