Erbium Laser Smooth Peel Procedure
The erbium laser peel begins with the application of a topical anesthetic for about 30 minutes. The treatment itself takes about 20 minutes and is performed along with the application of a cool stream of air for your comfort. You will have the feeling of mild sunburn after the treatment and this will last about 90 minutes. Within a period of two to three days, the skin will peel, revealing smoother, healthier, more vibrant-looking skin. The use of a high SPF broad-spectrum sunblock, and intensive moisturizers are recommended after the procedure.
