Skin Rejuvenation with Fotona Erbium Laser
Apart from hereditary predispositions to aging, the detrimental effects of factors such as sun exposure, smoking, inadequate nutrition, and fluctuations in weight contribute to a loss of skin elasticity, leading to sagging and the formation of wrinkles.

CONTACTWhat is Skin Rejuvenation with Fotona Erbium Laser?
Starting in the 20s, the balance between collagen production and degradation undergoes changes. Over time and with aging, the collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis layer of the skin diminish, and the hyaluronic acid content decreases. Losing its elasticity, skin becomes dull, wrinkled, and saggy. In response to this, skin rejuvenation and tightening lasers are employed for those who prefer not to use fillers to rejuvenate the skin or for those looking to complement the effects of fillers while achieving more natural results. Among these lasers, Erbium Yag lasers stand out as highly effective for skin rejuvenation.
Laser technologies have found extensive applications in various medical fields, including aesthetics. For years, lasers have been utilized in skin rejuvenation, treatment of pigmentation issues and scars, skin tightening, management of different skin conditions, and hair removal procedures.
The Fotona Erbium laser is a type of laser that has been employed successfully and safely in these applications.
What is Fotona Erbium Laser?
The Fotona Erbium Yag Laser is a specific type of laser system designed for treating various skin issues, utilizing a wavelength of 2940 nm. Operating swiftly, this laser penetrates from the epidermis to the dermis, where it gets absorbed by water molecules in the tissue between these layers. This rapid absorption leads to an efficient peeling of the epidermis, prompting the skin to accelerate its renewal process. In essence, the Fotona Erbium laser, also known as Er-YAG laser, initiates treatment by having water molecules absorb laser beams without causing heat damage. A notable advantage of the Erbium laser is its rapid healing process compared to similar ablative systems.
What Problems Can the Fotona Erbium Laser Treat?
The Fotona Erbium Laser is effectively used for addressing various skin concerns, including:
- Lines and wrinkles around the eyes and lips
- Skin scars
- Skin blemishes
- Excessive adiposity
- Treatment of dermal and epidermal lesions
This laser treatment is versatile and can be easily applied to areas where these issues are present.
What Types of Skin can Erbium Laser Be Used on?
Er-Yag laser is a versatile treatment method suitable for all skin types and colors.
How Many Sessions does the Erbium Laser Take?
The number of sessions required for the Erbium laser treatment depends on the specific purpose of the treatment. To determine the optimal approach and estimate the number of sessions needed, a thorough examination and diagnosis of your skin problems by a qualified professional is essential.
What is the Procedure for Erbium Laser Treatment?
Prior to undergoing the application, a comprehensive interview is essential. This involves discussing the patient’s medical history, any previous treatments, potential complications, and assessing the patient’s skin type. The recovery period, which varies based on the depth of the application, should be clearly explained to the patient. After a thorough examination and photographic documentation, the necessary depth of peeling for the skin is determined. To ensure understanding of the risks involved, the patient is required to sign an informed consent form.
What Complications Can Occur with Erbium Laser?
PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) can lead to increased skin pigmentation, primarily observed in individuals with darker skin tones, albeit infrequently. To mitigate the risk of PIH formation in patients prone to pigmentation, the application of a bleaching agent before treatment is advisable. Additionally, using creams containing steroids post-treatment can further reduce the risk of PIH.
Hypopigmentation, characterized by reduced pigmentation, is a potential complication following laser procedures, particularly with deep peels. While this condition is unlikely to occur with peels aimed at skin resurfacing, it may manifest in treatments involving deep abrasion, such as mole removal procedures.
Acne flare-ups are a possible side effect, often attributed to the use of oily creams for wound care in the post-procedural period.
What Should I Look for After Erbium Laser Resurfacing?
The patient’s adherence to the treatment and follow-up with post-treatment photo are crucial aspects of the process.
Erbium Yag lasers, when used in conjunction with compatible Nd Yag laser systems, contribute to tightening, firming up and improvement of the skin.
Fotona’s unique Erbium Yag laser features a “Smooth” mode that facilitates subcutaneous collagen synthesis and tightening without causing skin peeling.
A specific treatment method using the Fotona Erbium Yag laser, known as Smooth Eye, addresses wrinkles and sagging around the eyes and lower eyelids non-surgically.
For mouth contouring and lip augmentation without fillers, a Fotona Erbium Yag laser treatment known as liplase is available.
The neck area, often overlooked, can be effectively treated for tightening and wrinkle reduction using the smooth mode and tightening effect of Fotona Erbium Yag lasers.
