Sciton® Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing

For patients seeking more dramatic facial rejuvenation, Sciton® Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing offers one of the most effective laser treatments available.

As collagen production naturally declines with age, years of sun exposure and environmental damage can leave the skin wrinkled, uneven, and fatigued. Erbium laser resurfacing precisely removes damaged layers of skin while stimulating the production of fresh collagen and healthy new skin cells.

Erbium Laser Resurfacing is commonly used to improve:

• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines around the eyes
• Lip lines
• Crow's feet
• Overall skin quality

Treatments are performed by our physicians in our Quad-A accredited surgery center. Recovery varies based on treatment depth but generally ranges from two to four weeks, with continued improvement as collagen production increases over the following months.
