Erbium 1540 laser skin resurfacing in Sarasota, Fl
There are two types of laser skin resurfacing: the CO2 and Erbium lasers. CO2 laser resurfacing is a popular procedure among ablative lasers, which works by mildly wounding the epidermis of the treatment area to facilitate new skin growth and improve collagen development without damaging the surrounding tissue. The intensity of the laser beams with CO2 is high, making it a more aggressive laser treatment. Erbium laser resurfacing, on the other hand, is a non ablative laser treatment that is more gentle, only removing superficial skin layers so the recovery period is quicker. Depending on the patient’s skin condition and aesthetic goals, our skilled cosmetic surgeons will recommend the laser that is more suitable for the patient to render better results.
