Laser Skin Resurfacing

The Erbium: YAG Laser Peel is the latest evolution in laser skin renewal technology. This exciting procedure will leave you with smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin.

Specific benefits for aged and photo damaged skin include improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, reduction of brown spots and scars, and an overall tightening of the skin. Makeup will go on smoother and you will feel and look younger.

The Erbium Laser Peel can provide a partial to full epidermal peel (20-50 Microns deep), as opposed to microdermabrasion which acts only on the stratum corneum layer of the skin (about 3 microns deep). In addition to its beneficial effects to the outer layers of the skin, it also stimulates collagen production and remodeling in the deeper layers.

The procedure is more controlled than a chemical peel and it avoids the use of harsh chemicals to refine the skin. The complication rate due to Erbium:YAG peels is very, very low.

The Erbium Laser Peel can be performed as a stand alone procedure or as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation program which may involve Botox Cosmetic ™, cosmetic fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm, GentleYAG or Vbeam laser treatment.

There is an immediate, visible improvement to the outer surface of the skin after Erbium Laser treatment is performed.

Arctic Peel

The Arctic Peel is a minimal downtime Erbium:YAG peel that is performed using a stream of cold air to chill the skin during the procedure. No anesthetic is required. Mild redness is expected afterwards and it is generally ok to return to work the following day. Arctic Peels are commonly performed in a series of 3, each 2 weeks apart.

Erbium Weekend Peel

The Erbium Weekend Peel gets its name because of the typical 2-3 day downtime often associated with the procedure. With the controlled resurfacing associated with this more aggressive peel, one should expect tangible and visible reduction in sun damage and fine lines in the skin after one procedure, though it is sometimes necessary to perform it a second time, one to two months later for a patient with significant sun damage or signs of aging. Topical anesthetic is utilized for the procedure. Agents such as Aquaphor or Vaseline are then utilized for 2 days afterwards to keep the skin from drying out. After the first few days, non-comedogenic moisturizers may be utilized. Sunscreen application is important after all peels.
