Most patients experience mild redness and warmth immediately following treatment, similar to a mild sun exposure response. Over the following several days, some dryness and light flaking may occur as the skin progresses through its natural renewal process. Visible improvements in skin texture and brightness are often noticeable within 7 to 10 days, with ongoing collagen remodelling continuing in the weeks that follow.
Following treatment, it is important to maintain gentle skincare, support hydration and avoid unnecessary skin irritation. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection is essential, and direct sun exposure should be minimised throughout the healing period. Active ingredients such as retinol, AHAs and BHAs should generally be avoided for approximately 5 to 7 days or as directed by your clinician. Patients should also avoid picking or manually exfoliating any flaking skin during recovery.
The number of treatments required depends on individual skin concerns and treatment objectives. For many patients, a series of 1 to 3 treatments spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal skin resurfacing and collagen stimulation outcomes.
Erbium Laser is suitable for many skin types when performed following appropriate clinical assessment. Your clinician will evaluate your skin condition, treatment goals and suitability during consultation to develop a personalised treatment plan.
No. Erbium Laser skin resurfacing treatments are not recommended during pregnancy.
