Deep Erbium Laser Resurfacing Treatment Overview

Deep Erbium Laser Resurfacing is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure that targets severe wrinkles, deep acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. Using a high-precision Erbium:YAG laser, this treatment removes damaged skin layers, stimulating new collagen production and revealing a healthier, firmer, and more youthful complexion.

Unlike lighter peels or microdermabrasion, deep laser resurfacing penetrates deeper into the skin to effectively correct advanced aging signs and textural irregularities. The Erbium laser allows for customized depth settings, making it suitable for both targeted treatment areas and full-face rejuvenation. At Image Clinic, our experienced laser specialists tailor the procedure to your specific skin concerns, ensuring safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

If you’re looking for dramatic skin renewal with significant smoothing and tightening benefits, Deep Erbium Laser Resurfacing is one of the most powerful solutions available.

What To Expect

✔ Consultation & Skin Assessment – Your provider will assess your skin type, concerns, and desired results, determining the ideal laser depth for maximum effectiveness.

✔ Numbing & Preparation – A topical anesthetic is applied, and for deeper treatments, local anesthesia may be used to ensure comfort.

✔ Precision Laser Treatment – The Erbium laser gently vaporizes layers of damaged skin, stimulating collagen remodeling and fresh skin cell growth.

✔ Mild to Intense Sensation – Clients may experience a warm, prickling, or burning sensation, depending on treatment depth.

✔ Post-Treatment Healing – The skin will peel and regenerate over 7-14 days, revealing a smoother, firmer, and more radiant appearance.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid Sun Exposure – Protect your skin from UV damage before treatment to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.

✔ Discontinue Retinoids & Harsh Skincare – Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, and acids at least one week prior to prevent excessive irritation.

✔ Stay Hydrated & Nourish Your Skin – Healthy, well-moisturized skin heals faster and more effectively post-treatment.

✔ Limit Blood Thinners – Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for a few days before your session to minimize bruising and bleeding.

✔ Arrange Post-Treatment Care – Depending on the depth of the procedure, downtime can last up to 2 weeks, so plan accordingly.

Aftercare

✔ Keep Skin Hydrated & Protected – Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to support skin healing and prevent excessive dryness.

✔ Avoid Direct Sun Exposure – The skin is extremely sensitive post-procedure, so apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily.

✔ Let Peeling Happen Naturally – Skin will shed in layers as it regenerates. Avoid picking or exfoliating to prevent scarring or pigmentation changes.

✔ Follow a Gentle Skincare Routine – Use only doctor-recommended products to avoid irritation and accelerate healing.

✔ Limit Strenuous Activities – Avoid intense exercise, saunas, and hot showers for at least one week to prevent excessive inflammation.

FAQ's

Have questions? We have the answers! Explore our FAQ section to find everything you need to know.

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients achieve remarkable results with just one session. However, for deep acne scars or severe wrinkles, a second session may be recommended 6-12 months later.

Is Deep Erbium Laser Resurfacing painful?

Due to the intensity of the treatment, a topical anesthetic and sometimes local numbing injections are applied to ensure comfort. You may experience a warm, tingling sensation during the procedure.

When will I see full results?

Initial improvements are visible within 2 weeks, but optimal results develop over 3-6 months as collagen continues to remodel and firm the skin.

How long does the healing process take?

Recovery varies based on treatment depth, but most clients experience 7-14 days of downtime, including redness, peeling, and mild swelling. Your provider will guide you through the healing process to ensure proper skin recovery.

Are the results permanent?

The results of Deep Erbium Laser Resurfacing are long-lasting, but natural aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors can affect how long they remain. Maintenance treatments every 2-3 years can help prolong youthful, smooth skin.
