Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Restore your skin’s texture, tone, and youthful glow with precision laser treatments.
Smoother Skin Without Surgery
Not every facial concern needs surgery. If your main concerns are skin texture, fine lines, discoloration, sun damage, or acne scarring, erbium laser resurfacing may be a better fit than a surgical procedure.
The treatment works on the surface quality of the skin. It can help soften visible damage and improve overall tone, but it does not lift loose skin or replace lost facial volume. During your consultation, Dr. Frederick Weniger can explain whether laser resurfacing is enough or whether another treatment may give you a better result.
What Erbium Laser Resurfacing Can Improve
Erbium laser resurfacing may help improve fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, uneven pigmentation, acne scars, rough texture, enlarged pores, and dull skin tone. It is commonly used on the face, especially in areas where aging, sun exposure, and texture changes are most noticeable.
The strength of treatment can be adjusted based on your skin and goals. Some patients need a lighter resurfacing treatment for brightness and texture. Others may need a deeper treatment for more noticeable lines, scarring, or sun damage.
How the Erbium Laser Works
The erbium laser removes damaged skin cells from the outer layers of the skin with precise control. As the treated skin heals, the body begins producing new skin cells and supporting collagen renewal.
That healing process is why results continue to improve after the first stage of recovery. You may notice smoother skin once peeling and redness settle, with continued improvement in texture and tone over the following weeks and months.

A Treatment Plan Built Around Your Skin
Laser resurfacing has to be planned carefully. Skin tone, skin thickness, sun exposure, pigmentation risk, acne history, sensitivity, and recovery time all matter.
Before recommending treatment, Dr. Weniger and his team will evaluate your skin and talk through your goals. They will also explain what kind of improvement is realistic, how much downtime to expect, and what you need to do before and after treatment to protect your results.

Are You a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for erbium laser resurfacing if you want to improve skin quality and are comfortable with some recovery time. It may be a strong option if your concerns are mainly texture, fine lines, discoloration, sun damage, or acne scarring.
You may not be the right candidate if you have active skin infections, certain skin conditions, a high risk of pigmentation changes, recent intense sun exposure, or expectations that laser resurfacing will lift sagging skin. These details are reviewed during your consultation so the treatment plan is safe and appropriate for your skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before treatment, your skin is cleaned and prepared. Numbing may be used to help keep you comfortable, depending on the depth of resurfacing planned.
During the procedure, the laser is passed over the treatment area to remove damaged skin in a controlled way. Treatment time depends on the area being treated and how aggressive the resurfacing needs to be.

Recovery After Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Recovery depends on the depth of treatment. Most patients can expect redness, swelling, sensitivity, dryness, and peeling while the skin heals.
You will need to follow aftercare instructions closely. This usually includes keeping the skin clean, using recommended products, avoiding unnecessary irritation, and protecting your skin from the sun. Good aftercare is a major part of getting a smooth, even result.
When Results Start to Show
You may start to see improvement after the first stage of healing, once peeling and redness begin to calm down. The skin often looks smoother, brighter, and more even as it recovers.
Collagen changes take longer. Texture, tone, and fine lines may continue to improve over the next several weeks to months. Your final timeline depends on your skin, the depth of treatment, and how well you follow aftercare.
Can Laser Resurfacing Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes, erbium laser resurfacing can sometimes be combined with other treatments, but timing matters. Some patients benefit from a plan that includes injectables, skincare, or another facial treatment.
The right combination depends on what you are trying to correct. Laser resurfacing improves the surface of the skin. Fillers may help with volume loss. Botox may help with expression lines. Surgery may be needed for loose skin or deeper facial sagging. Dr. Weniger can help you sort out what actually makes sense instead of stacking treatments you do not need.
