If you have unwanted facial lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, or sun damage on your chest and hands, you may be a candidate for Erbium Laser Resurfacing. The purpose of this treatment is to remove facial lines, superficial acne scars, and uneven pigmentation while rejuvenating the skin and restoring it to a more youthful appearance.

The treatment is performed in our office on an outpatient basis. Local anesthesia is administered along with a topical cream called EMLA to numb the area. The laser works by sending an intense beam of light to vaporize thin layers of skin and treatment is individualized to address each area of the face.

The specific risks and suitability of Erbium Laser Resurfacing in San Diego, CA for a given individual are determined at the time of consultation. All procedures carry some degree of risk and minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
