Introduction

Refresh your skin and reveal a smoother, younger-looking complexion with Erbium:YAG laser skin resurfacing at Wellness Center of Cleveland. This advanced treatment gently removes damaged outer skin layers to improve tone, texture, and overall radiance—without the downtime of more aggressive procedures.

What Is Erbium:YAG Skin Resurfacing?

The Erbium:YAG laser is a precise, medical-grade device that uses a wavelength specifically absorbed by water in the skin. This allows it to vaporize damaged skin cells layer by layer while stimulating new collagen production. It’s especially effective for improving fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and mild acne scars.
