The Erbium laser is a highly effective fractional laser that can improve skin texture and color during laser skin resurfacing. In dermatology, the Erbium laser is known for its precision thermal effect on the skin surface, making it an ideal treatment for mild to moderate depth scars and textural scars after plastic surgery or skin injury. Dr. Karamanoukian is an expert on fractional erbium laser skin resurfacing and uses the laser for both its cosmetic and medical benefits.
At Kare Plastic Surgery, we utilize the Lumenis Erbium laser to help improve superficial and moderate depth scars after plastic surgery. The treatment is also highly effective for acne scars on the face and back. Options for scar removal with our fractional erbium laser are many. Erbium helps treat superficial skin pigmentation, textural changes in scars, hypertrophic scars, and early keloids. We often prepare the skin with an Erbium laser before recommending the Fractional CO2 laser, which is much more intense.
If you have acne scars or newly formed plastic surgery scars from a tummy tuck or breast surgery, we recommend the fractional erbium laser to help improve texture and color.
