The treatment you’re curious about and find the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Q: What is Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing?
A: Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses a laser with a wavelength of 1550 nanometers to remove the top layers of the skin, promoting skin rejuvenation and improving the appearance of the skin. It is commonly used to treat skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.
Q: How to Prepare for Erbium Laser Resurfacing
For starters, arrive at your appointment with clean skin. Secondly, you'll want to avoid heavy sun exposure and deep facial peels for at least four weeks before treatment. This includes chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and other laser resurfacing options.
Q: How does Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing work?
A: Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing works by delivering laser energy to the skin in short pulses, which removes the top layers of the skin. This process stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps improve skin elasticity and firmness. The laser can be adjusted to different settings to control the depth of skin removal and the intensity of the treatment, allowing for customized treatment based on the client's specific skin concerns and desired outcomes.
Q: What can I expect during an Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing procedure?
A: During an Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The laser will then be passed over the treatment area, delivering short pulses of laser energy to remove the top layers of the skin. The procedure may cause a sensation of heat or mild discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated. After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and swollen right. Usually, the redness and swelling resolve the next day.
Q: How long does it take to recover from Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing?
A: The recovery time after Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment. Generally, most patients experience redness and swelling right after the procedure. However, some clients may experience a little longer downtime like 2 days if more aggressive treatment settings are used or the client's sensitive skin.
Following your post-treatment care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and using recommended skincare products, is essential to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications.
Q: What are the potential risks and side effects of Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing?
There is a small risk of skin pigment changes after erbium laser treatments. ; avoid the direct sun after the treatment for at least five days and until the skin completely heals.
Rarely, scarring can occur with erbium laser treatments. This happens when the depth of the resurfacing/treatment exceeds a level where the skin can regenerate completely.
Acne eruption is possible for very sensitive skin. Avoid using harsh products a week before and after the treatment.
Q: Who is a good candidate for Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing?
A: Good candidates for Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing are individuals with mild to moderate skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven skin texture and good overall health.
The procedure may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as active skin infections, keloid scars, or a history of poor wound healing. It is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure based on your needs and medical history.
Q: How many sessions of Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing are typically needed?
A: The number of sessions of Erbium 1550 nm laser resurfacing needed can vary depending on the individual's skin condition and desired outcomes. Usually, you will notice the improvement after one treatment. For optimal results, three sessions at 6-week intervals.
