The Erbium laser delivers energy at 2940 nm wavelengths through a computer controlled device that automatically scans the area of skin being treated. The laser light then targets the water in the skin. The depth of the resurfacing treatment is precisely controlled for light or deeper peels, depending on the desired result.

Full Field & Fractional Resurfacing
Full Field Resurfacing is a wrinkle reducing laser treatment that involves treating the entire surface area of the skin. The laser moves across the treatment area removing the damaged skin layers that the body will naturally restore with fresh new healthy looking skin.
A shallow depth resurfacing is effective in reducing fine lines , sunspots and tired looking skin. A deeper depth procedure is used to improve skin tone, texture and to reduce deep wrinkles, including upper lip lines and crow’s feet.
Pro Fractional Laser Resurfacing uses the laser to deeply remove thousands of tiny pinpoint columns of skin leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The skin’s wound healing response creates new Collagen at a deeper level adding firmness and resilience to the skin. Much like aerating your lawn, this approach allows the laser to penetrate very deeply for effective Collagen remodeling while the surrounding intact tissue promotes rapid healing.

The skin’s surface regrows with fresh healthy cells resulting in a uniform skin colour, texture and feel turning back the hands of time restoring a more youthful you.
