The Erbium laser bypasses the surface of the skin and treats the layers under. This allows it to leave the skin’s surface and its surrounding tissues intact. Since the Erbium laser is not as aggressive as the CO2 laser, it is designed for patients with mild to minor surface-level skin damage. Those who have deep wrinkles and scars should consider the CO2 laser instead. Dr. Ewings can help each patient determine the best option for their particular goals.
