What is Erbium?
Erbium laser resurfacing uses advanced laser technology to remove the outer layer of the skin, leaving you with refreshed and radiant skin and fewer lines and wrinkles. By removing the outer skin, the laser boosts collagen production while addressing uneven skin tone and texture to help you achieve the more youthful look you desire. Plastic surgeons love this laser for powerful rejuvenation and often recommend it for smoothing deeply set lines and wrinkles.
The wavelength technology of Erbium is preferred over CO² (carbon dioxide) lasers for a faster recovery and return to usual activities.
This laser is often combined with a facelift or upper lip lift to enhance surgical results. Applying exosomes immediately after is highly recommended to boost your recovery and optimize rejuvenation.
Patient Testimonial
Jawline Filler
I visited Dr. Hassanzadeh to enhance my jawline, and she suggested a bit of filler – it was exactly what I needed. Now, two weeks later, I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the results. The change is subtle yet powerful, giving me that perfectly “snatched” jawline I was hoping for.
Dr. Hassanzadeh is also a total sweetheart! She makes you feel welcome and is incredibly knowledgeable about facial aesthetics. While I’m not quite ready for surgery, I’ve seen her surgical work, and I would trust her 1000% with my face when the time comes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a change, whether surgical or non-surgical!
What are the Benefits of Erbium?
There are countless benefits to erbium laser resurfacing treatment. Some of the advantages you can look forward to with this innovative laser treatment include:
- Long-lasting results: Most patients see their laser resurfacing results lasting for several years.
- Knocks out deep wrinkles: This is the best laser for treating stubborn lines and wrinkles around the mouth, over the forehead, and in the crow’s feet, while optimizing downtime compared to the harsher CO² laser.
- Boost in confidence: Many patients notice they feel more confident in the look and feel of their skin after their erbium laser treatment.
Erbium is an effective treatment to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and forehead for a smoother and younger-looking appearance, in addition to sun spots and pigment abnormalities for clearer, brighter skin.
The Erbium Procedure
To start your erbium laser resurfacing treatment, we’ll begin by cleansing your skin and protecting your eyes. If performed in the office, we’ll apply a topical local anesthetic to the skin. This ensures you’re completely comfortable throughout your treatment. From there, the erbium laser will be applied to the treatment area. The laser interacts with the water in the body to target the skin cells and kickstart the body’s natural healing process.
How long your treatment lasts can depend on the size of the area and the results you’re looking for. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour. When your treatment is finished, ointment will be applied to the face.
Erbium Recovery
After your erbium treatment, your skin will likely be red and swollen, and you will want to follow Dr. Hassanzadeh’s aftercare instructions very closely. It’s important to keep your skin moisturized and to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from any damage from the sun. While you’re healing, you’ll also want to avoid picking or peeling your skin and avoid any irritants on the skin.
Recovery can take 3-4 weeks, and usually, only one treatment is enough to see significant results.

Good candidates for Erbium laser resurfacing include individuals who are in generally good health, those with realistic expectations, and nonsmokers. It’s also recommended for those struggling with lines and wrinkles, acne scars, dark spots, and surgical scars.
