What is an Erbium Laser Treatment?
An Erbium laser, sometimes referred to as an Erbium YAG laser, is a resurfacing laser used in professional skin treatments. It is commonly used to target the upper layers of the skin in a controlled way, making it useful for skin renewal, texture refinement and visible surface concerns.
In simple terms, the treatment helps refresh damaged or uneven surface layers of skin while encouraging the skin’s natural repair response. This makes Erbium laser resurfacing a popular option for concerns such as rough texture, superficial lines, acne scarring, sun damage, dullness and uneven tone.
At Secret Skin, the treatment is planned carefully around your skin’s needs, because the best result comes from choosing the correct treatment intensity, timing and aftercare.

What Can Erbium Laser Resurfacing Help Improve?
Erbium laser resurfacing may be recommended for clients who want to improve the look and feel of their skin rather than only treat one isolated concern.
Note: Suitability depends on your skin type, sensitivity, medical history, recent sun exposure and the concern being treated. A consultation helps determine whether Erbium laser is the right option for you.

A More Refined Approach to Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing can sound intense, but the goal is not to over-treat your skin. The goal is to use the correct treatment depth and settings for your concern while supporting healthy recovery and visible improvement over time.
Erbium laser resurfacing is often chosen because it can target the skin surface in a controlled way. It may be best for clients wanting a more focused treatment for texture, post-acne marks, fine lines or uneven tone.
Your Erbium Laser Treatment Journey
Your Erbium laser treatment starts with a professional skin assessment. This allows your therapist to check your concern, skin type, current skincare routine and any factors that may affect your treatment or healing.
01
Consult & Assess
We begin by assessing your skin, discussing your goals and deciding whether Erbium laser resurfacing is suitable for you.
02
Treatment Planning
Your treatment plan is based on your concern, treatment area, skin response, downtime expectations and long-term skin goals.
03
Laser Treatment
During treatment, the Erbium laser is used to resurface targeted areas of the skin. You may feel warmth, prickling or sensitivity depending on the intensity used.
04
Downtime & Recovery
After the treatment, skin may feel warm, tight or red, with some flaking as it renews. Downtime depends on treatment intensity, area and your skin’s response.
05
Aftercare & Skin Support
Your therapist will explain aftercare, including protection, sunscreen, pausing strong actives and makeup, and not picking or scrubbing flaking skin.
06
Follow-Up & Maintenance
You may benefit from a course of treatments or maintenance sessions, depending on the concern being treated and the level of resurfacing required.
Questions About Erbium Laser Resurfacing?
Thinking about Erbium laser resurfacing, but not sure what to expect? These FAQs cover the basics around treatment, downtime, results, suitability and combining treatments.
Erbium YAG laser is a common type of Erbium laser used for skin resurfacing. It is known for controlled resurfacing and may be recommended for concerns such as uneven texture, visible ageing and certain types of scarring.
Erbium laser may be suitable for clients who want to improve visible skin texture, tone and surface irregularities. It can be considered for concerns such as fine lines, acne scarring, sun damage, uneven tone and roughness. Suitability depends on your skin type, sensitivity, medical history, recent sun exposure and ability to follow aftercare.
Downtime depends on the strength of the treatment and the area treated. Some clients may experience redness, tightness, warmth and flaking, while more intensive resurfacing may require a longer recovery period. Your therapist will discuss expected downtime before your treatment.
In some cases, Erbium laser may form part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan. Depending on your skin goals, your therapist may discuss options such as chemical peels, facials, microneedling, and targeted home care. Not all treatments should be done on the same day, so your therapist will guide you on safe spacing and timing.
