Fractional ERBIUM YAG laser

During your initial consultation our dermatologist will assess if you are a good candidate for this procedure. The treatment can effectively target a variety of skin concerns, including:

1. Fine lines & wrinkles
2. Skin sagging
3. Skin around the eyes
4. Acne scars
5. Open pores
6. Stretch marks
7. Skin rejuvenation
8. Sun damaged skin
9. Surgical scars

Depending on the area treated and the intensity of treatment, one may or may not even need application of topical anaesthetic cream for about an hour prior to the procedure.

The treatment is quick, taking around 20 minutes for the entire face and neck. Immediately after the procedure we use ice packs to relieve any smarting or burning sensation. Generally there is no or minimal redness.

The laser helps the skin to regenerate and repair. During the week after your session general skin care is mandatory to ensure rapid healing. This includes treating the skin gently, avoiding extreme and prolonged sun exposure, and using all the prescribed post-care creams and moisturisers.

Some improvement is seen almost immediately as the skin heals. The best results are seen after a few sessions done 4-8 weeks apart.
