Your Personalized Erbium YAG Laser Resurfacing Results
Erbium YAG laser resurfacing renews the skin by precisely removing damaged surface layers while stimulating fresh tissue and new collagen. Results continue to improve as healing progresses, with treatment tailored to your skin concerns, desired outcomes, and recovery preferences.
Smooth Texture & Surface Renewal
Erbium YAG resurfacing improves rough or uneven skin texture by removing damaged outer layers in a controlled manner. As fresh skin develops, the complexion becomes smoother and more refined over time.
Sun Damage & Uneven Tone
Years of sun exposure can leave skin looking dull, uneven, and weathered. By renewing the skin surface and encouraging healthy regeneration, Erbium YAG resurfacing helps improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin while supporting a brighter, more even complexion.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Collagen production increases as the skin heals, helping soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment refines the skin surface while promoting gradual improvement in overall skin quality.
Improved Skin Quality
Beyond resurfacing, Erbium YAG supports healthier-looking skin through collagen renewal. As healing progresses, many patients notice smoother texture, improved tone, and a refreshed appearance.
Customized Treatment Depth
Treatment depth can be adjusted from lighter to deeper resurfacing depending on your skin concerns and the amount of downtime you can accommodate. Your provider will recommend the approach best suited to your goals.
Long-Term Collagen Renewal
While the skin heals first, collagen-related improvements continue developing over the following weeks. With proper aftercare and sun protection, results continue to refine, leaving the skin looking healthier, smoother, and more youthful over time.

Smooth, Healthier-Looking Skin Through Precision Resurfacing
Erbium YAG laser resurfacing precisely removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating fresh tissue and new collagen production. This combination helps improve skin texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines as the skin naturally renews itself.
Because treatment depth can be customized, Erbium YAG resurfacing can address a range of concerns, from mild texture irregularities to more advanced signs of sun damage and aging. As healing progresses, collagen-related improvements continue to refine the skin, revealing a smoother, healthier, and more refreshed complexion over time.
Our Difference? Physician-Supervised Precision. Personalized Skin Renewal.
Erbium YAG laser resurfacing is a medical procedure that requires careful evaluation, precise treatment planning, and appropriate aftercare. At SMooth Solutions Medspa, treatments are performed on the Sciton platform in a physician-supervised setting to help ensure your treatment is both safe and appropriate for your skin.
Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation to determine whether Erbium YAG, CO2 laser resurfacing, or a non-ablative alternative is the best choice for your concerns. You will receive honest guidance about expected results, recovery, and a personalized treatment plan designed around your skin—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much downtime should I expect?
It depends on the depth of treatment. A lighter resurfacing may involve a few days of redness and flaking, while a deeper treatment requires a longer recovery. Your provider will set expectations clearly during your consultation based on the approach chosen.
How is Erbium YAG different from CO2 laser resurfacing?
Both are ablative and both renew the skin surface, but they use different wavelengths and can differ in how they balance results against recovery. Neither is universally better. The right one depends on your skin and your goals.
Is the treatment painful?
A numbing approach is used for comfort, and most people tolerate the procedure well. You may feel warmth during treatment and some tenderness as the skin heals.
Who is not a good candidate?
Certain skin types, histories, and conditions call for caution with ablative lasers. Your provider will review this with you honestly during the consultation and recommend an alternative if Erbium YAG is not appropriate for you.
How soon will I see results?
You will see the most noticeable change once the skin has healed and the redness settles. Collagen-related improvements continue to refine over the weeks that follow.
Combinable Treatments
Erbium YAG laser resurfacing may be combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals. Your provider may recommend complementary options such as CO2 Laser Resurfacing, HALO Laser Resurfacing, Laser Genesis, or Topical Ampoules and Infusions to further improve skin quality, texture, tone, and overall rejuvenation.
Your treatment plan will be personalized during your consultation to determine the safest and most effective combination for your skin, desired results, and recovery preferences.
