There are a plethora of skincare products available in the market to brighten and smooth your skin and give you a youthful radiant look. However, there are times when cleansers, scrubs, physical exfoliators, and serums, simply won't give you the results you want.
Laser Facial Treatments can be an ideal alternative to improve the skin's appearance without the significant discomfort and downtime and great for treating hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines.
One such Laser Treatment is Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Erbium Laser Resurfacing is designed to remove superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face. This laser can also be used on your hands, neck or chest. One of the benefits of erbium laser resurfacing is minimal injury of surrounding tissue. The Erbium laser results in a narrower area of heating of adjacent tissues compared with other laser skin-resurfacing methods. This results in a more focused removal of old skin cell layers. And this means fewer side effects such as swelling, bruising, and redness, so the recovery time should be faster than more aggressive laser techniques.
Laser Skin Pro Pain Free Pixel Facial Laser Resurfacing
Pixel Laser Harmony is a type of erbium laser used at Laser Skin Pro & Aesthetics for skin resurfacing treatments. It is a fractional laser, creating small areas of controlled skin damage to stimulate the body's natural healing process and promote collagen production. The fractional nature of the laser means that only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, allowing for a faster healing process.

Preparation for Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Arrive at your appointment with clean skin. 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. If you are not quite sure, it is advisable to book a consultation with Nina to discuss your needs and skin type.
What can I expect after Laser Skin Resurfacing?
You should see an immediate difference in your treated skin. Depending on the laser treatment, your skin may stay pink or red for a few months. Your skin may continue to improve up to a year and the improvement may last for several years. Normal aging will eventually lead to new wrinkles, which can be treated with laser resurfacing again.
You should avoid the sun as much as possible and apply sunscreen every day.
When Is the Best Time to Get Erbium Laser Resurfacing?
According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, fall is considered "laser season" “Because laser-treated skin is hypersensitive to sun exposure for up to a year following some procedures, many cosmetic surgeons recommend undergoing laser resurfacing during fall or winter months, when daytime hours are shorter and you are spending most of your time indoors.”
Regardless of what time of year you have your laser procedure, wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily and reapply as needed. This not only helps to keep your results looking their best, it also provides protection against skin cancer and helps prevent additional premature aging.
