Fractional Laser
Erbium YAG Resurfacing
A precision fractional laser that delivers thousands of microscopic treatment zones in a single pass — vaporizing damaged surface skin while sparing the tissue around it.
The result: dramatic improvement in fine lines, acne scars, sun damage and tone with significantly less downtime than traditional resurfacing.
Book Your TreatmentWhat Makes Fractional Resurfacing Unique
Our Erbium YAG laser emits a 2,940 nm wavelength that's strongly absorbed by water in the skin. That allows it to vaporize damaged tissue almost instantly while limiting heat damage to surrounding cells.
Compared to CO₂ lasers, Erbium is more superficial and refined — meaning superior polish with less anesthesia, shorter healing, less redness, lower risk of pigment change, and more flexibility for facial resurfacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fractional laser?
Our Erbium YAG fractional laser delivers thousands of microscopic columns of energy into the skin in a precise grid pattern. Each tiny zone is treated while the surrounding skin is left intact, which jump-starts collagen production and dramatically shortens healing time compared to traditional resurfacing.
How long does a treatment take?
The average session is approximately 20 minutes after numbing. We always apply topical anesthetic so you stay comfortable from start to finish.
What is the downtime?
Recovery varies by treatment depth. Skin typically begins to slough 2–3 days post-treatment and a rosy 'glow' can linger for several weeks. Plan on 2–3 days off for a standard treatment, or 3–5 days for a more aggressive session. Makeup can be applied to soften redness once skin is intact.
Who is a good candidate?
Patients with mild to moderate skin concerns and realistic expectations — fine lines, shallow acne scars, sun damage, or non-responsive skin after a facelift. We'll review your history during consultation to confirm fit.
When will I see results?
Within about a week your fresh skin emerges with visibly smoother texture, more even tone, and reduced wrinkle depth. New collagen continues building over the following 4–6 months for progressively better results.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve their goal in 1–3 sessions spaced about a month apart. Your provider will personalize the plan based on the concern and intensity you want.
