Er-Glass Laser

Create a request

The Er-Glass laser procedure is a non-invasive dermatological treatment aimed at rejuvenating the skin. It uses an erbium-doped glass fiber laser to target the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other textural irregularities.

Er-Glass Laser

General

The Er-Glass laser treatment is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, utilizing the unique properties of the erbium-doped glass fiber. The laser emits energy at a wavelength that is absorbed by the water in the skin, heating up the deeper layers and stimulating the body's natural healing process. This leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin. Unlike more invasive laser treatments, the Er-Glass laser offers a gentler approach, allowing for a quicker recovery period and less risk of side effects. Patients can expect a series of treatments to achieve optimal results, with each session lasting from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.
