Non-ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing keeps skin intact, stimulates collagen growth and tightens underlying skin. It is ideal for patients who prefer a milder treatment approach with less downtime. LUXEA handpiece ERISE 2940nm Er:YAG is designed to remove surface-level and moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face, hands, neck or chest. This laser causes fewer side effects -- such as swelling, bruising and redness -- so your recovery time should be faster than with CO₂ laser resurfacing. In some cases, recovery may only take one week. If you have a darker skin tone, erbium laser resurfacing may work better for you.
