What is erbium laser resurfacing, and is it right for you?
Erbium:YAG (2940 nm) is an ablative laser that removes very thin layers of skin with little heat spread. Compared with CO2, it usually means less redness and a lower risk of pigment change, with somewhat less tightening.
At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, erbium resurfacing suits texture, fine lines and shallow scars. Pricing is quoted at consultation.
Who Erbium Laser suits, and who it doesn't
We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.
Often a good fit
- Rough texture and enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Shallow acne scars
- Sun damage
- Skin types where CO2 heat is a concern
Probably not the first choice
- Deep scars needing CO2 or combination treatment
- A very short trip
- Active acne or infection
- Recent isotretinoin (ask your doctor)
- Fresh tan
Precise, low heat
Water absorption: 2940 nm is strongly absorbed by water, so energy stays shallow.
Fractional or full: settings range from light peels to deeper fractional passes.
Compare: fractional CO2 for deeper scars.
