Laser Resurfacing With the Erbium YAG Laser

Conveniently located to serve Reno, Carson City & Gardnerville

Erbium laser resurfacing gently treats surface pigmentation and scarring issues and smoothens mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles through the multifunctional Spectrum platform. By removing surface skin and regenerating deeper layers, you can benefit from fresher, brighter, more vital-looking skin on your face, neck, arms, hands, chest, and back.

Erbium YAG Laser Versus CO2 Laser Treatments

Erbium YAG laser and fractional CO2 laser treatments are both forms of ablative laser resurfacing, but they come with differences. CO2 lasers allow for deeper penetration in safe ways but may result in more redness, posttreatment. Erbium YAG lasers are gentler and don’t penetrate as deeply. This can facilitate shorter downtimes but may require more than one treatment to accomplish what CO2 lasers can. Dr. Yamamoto can provide more details and recommend the best treatment for your goals.

Benefits of Laser Resurfacing With Erbium YAG Laser

With the Erbium YAG laser, Dr. Yamamoto can precisely, safely, and effectively target skin areas via ablative laser resurfacing. This removes the top skin layer to restimulate collagen production for a more youthful skin texture and tone. Because this laser type produces less heat than others, there is little post-procedure downtime and fewer potential side effects. Besides improving your physical appearance, laser resurfacing with the Erbium YAG laser treatments can enhance your self-esteem, boost your confidence, and produce positive feelings about your appearance.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Resurfacing With the Erbium YAG Laser?

You may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing with the Erbium YAG laser if you have mild to moderate skin issues to address. This laser treatment is not generally recommended for people with active acne, very dark skin, deep wrinkles, or excessive/sagging skin. When you schedule a professional consultation with Dr. Yamamoto, he will provide recommendations for your skin care and answer all your questions.
