The Erbium laser is a high-powered device which emits a wavelength of light which penetrates the skin. The laser energy is absorbed by water within our skin and removes superficial and moderate wrinkles around the face and forehead. The erbium laser typically removes thinner layers of skin so you get less down time but also less improvement. There are also erbium lasers that give an effect similar to CO2 laser.
The Erbium laser is precise and allows a physician to specifically target areas of the face for treatment. There is also generally minimal redness and rapid healing following treatment with the Erbium.
