Fractional Erbium Laser
Fractional Erbium Laser is a precise laser resurfacing treatment that uses erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser technology to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This treatment effectively removes superficial scars, improves skin texture, and stimulates collagen production with less thermal damage and faster recovery compared to CO₂ lasers, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

How Fractional Erbium Laser Works
Understanding the precise erbium laser approach
1. Fractional Pattern Creation
The laser creates a pattern of microscopic columns in the skin, treating only a fraction of the skin surface. Each column receives erbium laser energy, creating controlled micro-injuries while leaving surrounding tissue completely intact for faster healing.
2. Precise Ablation
The erbium laser wavelength (2940nm) is highly absorbed by water in the skin, allowing for precise ablation of tissue with minimal thermal damage. This creates controlled removal of damaged skin layers while preserving surrounding healthy tissue, resulting in faster healing and less downtime.
3. Collagen Stimulation
The controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. The minimal thermal damage means more energy goes into stimulating healing rather than causing unnecessary tissue damage, leading to effective results with faster recovery.
4. Progressive Improvement
Over the following weeks and months, new collagen forms, scars improve, and skin texture enhances. The fractional approach allows for faster healing while the erbium technology provides effective treatment with minimal downtime. With multiple sessions, the cumulative effect provides significant, long-lasting results.
