Erbium laser resurfacing is a treatment designed to remove superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face, offering dramatic improvement in the appearance of the skin. Over time, skin can undergo various types of damage, whether from sun exposure or the natural aging process. Laser skin resurfacing stands out as a safe and effective solution to eliminate the damaged outer layer of your skin while encouraging the production of dermal collagen. The outcome is a rejuvenated tone and texture, restoring a heightened sense of self-confidence. Feinstein Dermatology is delighted to offer laser skin resurfacing services at our Delray Beach, FL, practice.

How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure performed in-office, utilizing precisely controlled light energy to penetrate both deep and shallow layers of your skin. By doing so, laser therapy removes the top skin layer, including areas marked by sunspots, age spots, and other common imperfections. It also kickstarts your body’s inherent collagen production, forming a healthy, vibrant layer of skin with a more even and radiant tone.

What Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?

Laser skin resurfacing is wonderful for deep wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, skin laxity, texture, pores, scarring, and more.

Erbium Laser Options:

“The Lunchtime Peel”:  MicroLaserPeel & NanoLaserPeel

The MicroLaserPeel® and NanoLaserPeel® offer a gentle introduction to laser treatments with minimal downtime. This makes them ideal for those with busy schedules or who are new to laser procedures.

The MicroLaserPeel® and NanoLaserPeel® treatments utilize gentle laser technology to provide superficial resurfacing of the skin. This approach is ideal for those seeking to improve the appearance of:

Enlarged Pores: Enlarged pores can contribute to a rough texture. Laser resurfacing can minimize their appearance, leaving your skin smoother and more refined.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles: These treatments target the uppermost layer of skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth.

Uneven Skin Tone: Sun damage and hyperpigmentation can lead to uneven skin tone. The laser precisely targets these areas, promoting a more even and radiant complexion.

Moderate Erbium: ProFractional™ Therapy

Depending on the intensity of the treatment, ProFractional™ therapy can have mild to moderate downtime. However, the results are often long-lasting, providing you with a smoother, more youthful appearance for months to come.

ProFractional™ therapy utilizes a fractional laser approach. This means the laser targets microscopic columns of skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This controlled injury triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production. Increased collagen leads to several benefits:

Minimized Scars: ProFractional™ therapy can also be effective in minimizing the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes by stimulating collagen production and promoting smoother skin texture.

Improved Skin Texture: Collagen is responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness. ProFractional™ therapy promotes collagen production, resulting in smoother, tighter skin.

Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: As collagen production increases, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines is diminished, giving your skin a more youthful look.

Deep Resurfacing: Contour TRL™

The results from this treatment can be truly transformative, offering a dramatic improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Due to the deeper level of resurfacing, Contour TRL™ has a longer recovery time compared to other laser treatments.

Contour TRL™ represents our most powerful laser resurfacing option. It utilizes a specialized laser to deliver deeper ablation of the skin’s surface. This deeper penetration offers significant improvements for concerns like:

Scars: While not a complete solution, Contour TRL™ can minimize the appearance of deeper scars, including acne scars.

Deep Wrinkles and Lines: Contour TRL™ effectively targets deep wrinkles and creases around the mouth, eyes, and forehead, promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Sun Damage and Uneven Skin Tone: For those with significant sun damage or uneven pigmentation, Contour TRL™ can dramatically improve skin tone and texture. The laser precisely removes damaged skin cells, revealing a brighter, more even complexion.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery time for laser skin resurfacing varies by patient and laser type. Most patients who undergo laser skin resurfacing on Thursday or Friday find themselves ready to return to the workplace by Monday. Following treatment, you may experience sensations similar to a bad sunburn, including itching and peeling skin. These symptoms typically start to improve by the second day, and by the third day, any remaining redness can be covered with makeup. Crucial aftercare involves safeguarding your skin from the sun, avoiding prolonged exposure, and applying sunscreen whenever outdoors.
