Erbium Yag laser
What is Erbium Yag Laser?
An erbium YAG laser is a kind of unique form of laser accompanied by erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet material. Erbium is used in this substance, and it drives the laser operation. Doctors often employ the invisible light the laser produces for medicinal procedures.
Fractional laser treatments set off the body’s natural healing mechanism by causing small wounds (400 microns) inside carefully selected locations far under the outer layer of skin. Moreover, fractional laser treatments speed up the synthesis of collagen and fresh, healthy skin cells.
This fact restricts the use of Er:YAG laser in surgery, and in many other laser applications, to where water is present (healthy skin has a high water content).

How is Erbium YAG Laser performed?
The erbium laser resurfacing treatment starts with a discussion with a skin doctor. Doctor will review the region you want to treat and discuss your desired outcomes from the therapy in this meeting
Not everyone is suited for this laser therapy as certain individuals may be more likely to have skin problems subsequently. Safety always comes first for the patients among doctors.
One should avoid using certain skincare products and keep away from the sun before the therapy.
Doctor will numb the erbium laser resurfacing region with local anesthetic and clean your skin. The Doctor could use additional kinds of anesthesia to make you comfortable depending on the strength of the laser required.
