Erbium

Erbium laser resurfacing smooths skin texture, fades pigmentation, and softens fine lines with a faster recovery than more aggressive lasers. It’s a precise, dermatologist-guided way to refresh your skin without stepping away from life for long.

Aesthetics - Erbium_istockphoto-2233795598-1024x1024

What Does Erbium Treat?

Erbium, also known as Er:YAG laser resurfacing, works by removing thin layers of damaged skin while gently heating the layers beneath to encourage new collagen growth. The result is a smoother texture, more even skin tone, and softer lines, often after even a single session.

It’s a versatile option for the face, hands, and chest, frequently used for sun damage, mild acne scarring, and early signs of aging. Your provider controls the depth of each pass, making treatment highly customizable to more delicate areas, such as around the eyes and mouth, without over-treating the surrounding skin.

Goals Addressed
Soften fine lines around the eyes and mouth
Fade sun spots
Refine texture from mild acne scarring
Even out tone for smoother, brighter-looking skin
Improve skin laxity and collagen production
Pairs Well With
Skinvive™
Restores hydration and subtle volume resurfacing alone can't address
HALO
Supports healing and calms skin between deeper resurfacing sessions
BBL (BroadBand Light)
Addresses broader tone and blood vessel concerns alongside resurfacing
WHAT TO EXPECT

What Happens at Your Appointment?

Every erbium treatment starts with a plan tailored to your skin and your goals.

1

Consultation

Your provider examines your skin and discusses what you hope to achieve with erbium. From there, they map out a treatment depth that fits your concerns.
2

Treatment

Once the numbing cream takes effect, your provider guides the laser across the treatment area, adjusting the laser intensity as needed.
3

You're Done

A protective ointment is applied, and you’ll leave with clear aftercare instructions for the days ahead.

Your Experience With Erbium

The first few days after treatment can feel almost like a mild sunburn: skin is warm, red, and a little tight. You may also notice some flaking. These are all expected parts of healing, and any discomfort should ease quickly as new skin comes through.

As your skin’s surface recovers, the deeper work continues beneath the surface. Collagen remodeling happens over time, so texture and tone continue improving for months after your session and well past the visible downtime phase.

Timeline at a Glance

Days 1–3
Skin is warm and red, resembling a sunburn with some mild swelling.
Days 5–7
Flaking subsides, and most patients return to their normal routines.
Days 10–14
Redness continues to fade as fresh, smoother skin emerges.
Months 3–4
Collagen remodeling reveals the most noticeable improvements in texture and tone.

I have been a patient of Dr. Boswell for some years and have always been impressed by her skill and professionalism and that of her staff. She has spotted and treated numerous pre-cancerous spots on me, and I trust her. I followed her to Atlantic and have found the staff there equally friendly and professional. I never wait to see Dr. Boswell, and my appointments are never rushed.

The front desk ladies are welcoming and incredibly attentive. Every step of the process, from check in to follow up, was handled with professionalism and kindness. What truly sets this practice apart is their compassion. Frankie took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain my condition in clear, reassuring terms, and create a personalized treatment plan that made me feel confident and supported. I never felt rushed or like just another appointment on the calendar. The entire team is thoughtful, respectful, and clearly passionate about helping people feel their best. Whether you're dealing with a complex skin condition or a routine check (even BOTOX!!!) you’ll be met with the same level of care and empathy. If you’re looking for expert dermatologic care delivered with heart, this is the place to go. I’m so grateful to have found them!

I have been a patient at Virginia dermatology for the past 5 years I have had the greatest experience and care from Dr Robert I will truly miss him I told him I know I should be happy for your retirement but I am going to be sad not to have you for my doctor. He had the greatest personality. His staff was friendly and professional. I look forward to continuing being a patient there. Everyone that works there are so kind and professional and they always make you feel valued. I will highly recommend them to any of my family or friends.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Trina Lannom, FNP-BC, at Meridiem. She has truly helped me feel confident in my skin again. My skin looks more rested, brighter, smoother, and honestly about 10 years younger. Trina takes the time to listen, explain everything thoroughly, and make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and aesthetic eye are incredible. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely cares about her patients and their results. I trust her completely with my face, and that says everything. If you are considering injectables or skin treatments, I highly recommend scheduling with Trina. She is exceptionally talented, and the confidence boost she has given me has been priceless.

My teenager has been experiencing some treatment-resistant acne, for which her pediatrician referred her to dermatology after exhausting the usual suspects of medication combos. My kiddo has been to a couple of previous (male) providers who just didn't make her feel comfortable, or like she was part of the treatment plan being discussed. We ended up seeing Semhar Mekonen, APRN, with Academic Alliance in Dermatology in Countryside, and couldn't be happier! She was very kind and understanding, and we really felt like we had a tx plan in place moving forward. My kiddo is also 17 and able to go to her checkups solo if needed.

Dr. Saini was very thorough, kind, competent, and quite personable! PA Nicole performed the procedure with excellent results and a caring manner. She took the time to explain the results when I returned to have my stitches removed. Nurses Pakiza and Kite put my worries to rest and helped the process run smoothly. You can trust this dynamic team! Excellent care was given.

I can't thank this office enough I had to pay out of pocket to get diagnosed and to get a biopsy and the rates were very reasonable for someone with no insurance I'm extremely thankful for that. I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma Dr Johnson and his team did a fabulous job of treating it it was a painless procedure done reasonably quick and I feel very good about it I'm extremely thankful for Dr Johnson and his team. I would recommend this place to a family member or friend they are fabulous. Good communication aggressive with getting insurance situated and really good about getting an appointment as soon as possible

I went here and the atmosphere is AMAZING. Plenty of chairs, and not a ton of people waiting. My appointment was fast. The front desk lady was nice. The assistant with the broken arm was professional, and Dr. Alyssa was very professional. She even explained things as she went along. My only issue is how bright the room is. I had to look down a bit just to avoid the light, but that's fine. They need the light to look at your skin. Overall, they get an A+

ADDRESSING TOP Erbium CONCERNS

Your Erbium Questions, Answered

Erbium addresses fine lines, uneven skin tone, sun damage, and mild acne scarring by removing damaged surface layers, improving skin laxity, and stimulating new collagen production.

Your provider will apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to help lessen any discomfort. Most patients describe the feeling as warm or somewhat uncomfortable rather than painful.

You should see visible signs of healing resolve within five to seven days, but your exact recovery timeline will depend on the depth of your treatment.

Our patients often see meaningful changes in their skin tone and texture after one session, though your provider may suggest a series if you have deeper scarring or more severe sun damage.

Erbium can work well for a range of skin types and concerns. A consultation is a good place to learn whether you’re a good candidate. During your visit, your provider will review your skin and goals and tell you if they think an alternative treatment may be better suited.

You can expect initial smoothness over the first couple of weeks as the skin heals. Tone and texture improvements should continue over the following months as new collagen forms.

Your provider will walk you through any pre-treatment steps. This may include avoiding sun exposure and limiting certain skincare ingredients in the days leading up to your treatment.

Yes. Many of our patients pair erbium with treatments such as HALO or BBL (BroadBand Light) to address different effects of aging and sun damage.
