This gentle yet effective laser is recognized for its precision and safety, producing noticeable improvements with minimal recovery time.

Our Erbium YAG laser works beautifully on the face, neck, chest, and hands, helping to restore a refreshed, youthful glow while maintaining the skin’s natural texture and tone.
Purpose
This laser treatment is designed to significantly improve skin clarity and texture by minimizing visible scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and surface discoloration. It refreshes and smooths the skin, helping restore a naturally youthful glow and more even tone across treated areas.
Treatment Length
The procedure length will vary depending on the region being addressed. When numbing treatment is included, a full-face Erbium laser resurfacing generally takes up to two hours. Smaller sections, such as the neck or hands, can be completed more quickly, though the same attention to accuracy and comfort is maintained throughout.
Post-Treatment Healing
Skin commonly appears pink for the first one or two days and may have slight swelling that subsides within the same timeframe. Gentle flaking or peeling usually follows for a few additional days as new skin emerges. Most patients feel fully recovered in three to five days and resume normal activities shortly after. The Erbium YAG laser is safe for both lighter and darker complexions (Fitzpatrick I-IV). New, healthy skin becomes noticeable within five to seven days, and continued improvement unfolds over several weeks. Complete healing and optimal results may take three to four weeks, depending on the area treated.

What are the Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment?
With laser skin resurfacing, individuals can achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. The Erbium YAG laser precisely removes damaged tissue and revitalizes the underlying layers for a brighter complexion. The benefits include:
- Softens wrinkles and fine lines, leaving skin noticeably smoother.
- Evens out discoloration and improves the skin’s overall texture.
- Reduces acne marks, pigmentation, and small surface flaws.
- Encourages collagen production, helping the skin regain its natural strength and bounce.
- Provides superior precision compared to more generalized treatments such as intense pulsed light.
Ideal for those seeking both subtle enhancement and deeper correction, this treatment creates long-lasting radiance and a renewed, youthful glow.
How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
The Erbium YAG laser resurfacing procedure works by directing a concentrated laser beam toward the skin, vaporizing damaged layers to reveal smooth, revitalized skin beneath. This process promotes healing and encourages new cell growth for a more youthful look. Here’s what makes this treatment unique:
- The ablative laser penetrates into the skin’s deeper structures, treating moderate to severe imperfections such as fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration.
- The laser peel gently refines the outer layer of the skin, providing a visibly softer and more radiant surface.
- Natural collagen stimulation follows, gradually improving the skin’s resilience, tightness, and tone.
- Using fractional technology, only targeted areas are treated, while surrounding skin remains intact, allowing for faster recovery and minimal downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
What skin concerns can laser resurfacing address for those in Brookhaven?
In Brookhaven, many clients choose laser resurfacing to target multiple skin issues at once, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne marks, and uneven skin colouring. The treatment helps refine texture and tone while reducing discoloration and surface imperfections caused by aging or sun exposure. It’s ideal for rejuvenating delicate areas such as the face, hands, neck, and chest, allowing Brookhaven patients to restore a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
Is there any downtime after laser skin resurfacing?
There is a brief healing period following treatment, but it is far shorter and easier than recovery from more invasive skin procedures. Some mild redness and slight swelling may appear within the first day or two, followed by gentle peeling as the old surface layer sheds. Most patients find their skin looking renewed and vibrant within three to five days, and the results continue to enhance naturally over the next several weeks as fresh, healthy skin emerges.
How long does the procedure take?
The overall duration depends on how much skin is treated. A comprehensive full-face Erbium YAG laser resurfacing usually takes up to two hours, which includes numbing time to ensure comfort. Smaller zones such as the neck or hands can often be completed much faster, though the same level of precision and attention is maintained throughout each session.
Is laser skin resurfacing safe for all skin tones?
Absolutely. The Erbium YAG laser is known for its precision and gentle energy delivery, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of skin tones, including darker complexions. It safely rejuvenates the skin without the higher risks of hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory reactions that can occur with less advanced laser technologies.
