Erbium Laser Peel

Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies. It protects us from infection and shields us from harmful substances. Unfortunately, our skin can take a real beating. Age, wind, sun and hormones take their toll.
At Rinnova Med-Surgical Center we know that you want to present you best face to the world. Let us help you with an Erbium Laser Peel.

In the past, chemical peels have been used to burn away layers of the skin. Just the thought of this may make you squeamish. CO2 lasers have been and still are being used, but the CO2 laser is a very aggressive treatment which requires a lot of down time for the patient.

If you want the benefits of a peel without the harshness of chemicals and CO2 lasers, look no further than the Erbium laser peel. The Erbium laser peel has become the gold standard for laser skin resurfacing.

The Erbium laser peel is used for resurfacing fine lines around the eyes and lips. It is also effective for sun damaged skin, acne scars, pigmented lesions and deeper wrinkles. With this state of the art laser you can see amazing results with less down time and fewer undesirable side effects than most other resurfacing procedures.

The Erbium laser is also effective on darker skin. When you choose an Erbium laser peel you can expect excellent results with minimal redness, swelling or bruising compared with other methods.

At Rinnova, Dr. Cappiello uses only the Aerolase LightPod Era laser for laser skin resurfacing.
Depending on the depth of resurfacing and the amount of skin involved, the procedure can take 15 - 45 minutes and may be performed in a doctor's office

Recent studies have shown that the Erbium laser stimulates the production of collagen for an extended period of time (up to five years). This creates a tightening and smoothing of the skin that can last for a long time.

The Erbium laser produces less heating or burning of the surrounding tissue than any other laser of its kind. This allows your doctor to gently and comfortably vaporize the damaged skin cells layer by layer.

Most patients will require topical or local anesthetic. The recovery time will depend on the depth of resurfacing. Gentle resurfacing will require just a couple days of downtime.  A one-time deep resurfacing requires a bit more time for recovery.
