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.
