WHAT IS A Laser Skin Resurfacing DEEP TREATMENT?
The ErYag module uses an ablative 2940 ErYag laser that resurfaces & remodels the skin. It is indicated for scars, prominent pores, sun damage, fine lines, and even deep wrinkles.
How ErYag/Erbium works
This laser delivers fractionated pulses of laser energy to the skin surface at various depths. It substantially contracts and tightens the skin as well as improves texture & tone. The treatment takes from 30 – 60 minutes based on the intensity/depth of the procedure, which also defines the “downtime.” This downtime can be between 2 – 7 days.

How It Works
When you are scheduled for a more intense or deeper skin resurfacing treatment, you may be given a topical retinoid for 2 – 3 weeks before your laser procedure. The retinoid helps prepare the skin for more effective results. Medication will be prescribed prior to the treatment to help lessen any sensation for greater relaxation during your session. If your complexion needs mild correction, a topical anesthetic may be used to numb certain areas of the face. For the full complexion or more intense laser procedures, a kind of sedation may be necessary. During the procedure, you will relax in our treatment chair while the laser handpiece passes over the your skin, directly targeting the designated sections for improvement. You will feel the heat of the laser followed by cold air from the built-in cooling system. The laser energy works to destroy damaged and dead skin cells while also stimulating natural collagen production.
Am I a candidate for laser skin resurfacing?
There are several factors to think about when deciding if a laser skin resurfacing procedure is best for you. Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for people who are unsatisfied with their general complexion. If you notice sun-damaged skin, age spots, acne scars, lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, or redness issues, this procedure can be used to address these imperfections. In addition, laser skin resurfacing works wonders if you have rough skin texture, scaly patches, or other skin surface problems. It is also important to be aware that there is a recovery period needed after laser treatments. Certain patients, based on their skin condition, may require as much as a few days to a week for their skin to normalize.
What to Expect After Laser Skin Resurfacing
Our professionals at Rejuvenation Wellness Center will provide detailed information and guidance about what to expect after your laser procedure. During recovery, you may experience temporary redness and swelling in the treatment area. Some peeling and minor flaking may also occur. Patients can keep their skin hydrated and healthy by applying gentle moisturizers and avoiding products that contain harsh chemicals. Smoother and healthier-looking skin should appear once all the peeling is complete. We may recommend returning for follow-up laser resurfacing treatments to further enhance your beautiful results.
