Erbium Yag Laser Treatment
The Fractional Erbium Yag laser stimulates collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer skin. Reduces wrinkles, scars and pores with minimal downtime and is suitable for all skin types.
What are the causes of skin aging?
Skin aging is caused by a combination of internal and external factors. Internally, the natural decline in collagen and elastin plays an important role. From the age of 25, the production of these essential proteins slows down, making the skin less firm and elastic. This process results in sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles and a dull complexion. In addition, cell renewal decreases, which contributes to a less uniform skin texture and the formation of pigmentation.
External factors can significantly accelerate this aging process:
- Sun damage: Exposure to UV rays breaks down collagen and causes pigmentation, wrinkles, and rough skin.
- Smoking: Harmful substances in cigarette smoke reduce blood flow to the skin, leading to premature wrinkles and a sallow complexion.
- Stress: Chronic stress increases the release of free radicals, which damage skin cells and accelerate the aging process.
- Unhealthy food: Deficiencies in antioxidants and essential nutrients reduce the skin's resistance to harmful influences.
- Sleep deprivation: Lack of rest disrupts the skin's repair process, leading to a tired appearance.
The Fractional Erbium YAG laser offers an effective solution to address the effects of skin aging. This innovative technology stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin by applying controlled fractions to the skin. As a result, the skin structure is improved, wrinkles are reduced and the skin becomes firmer and more radiant. It is a safe and effective treatment that combines skin rejuvenation and skin tightening, suitable for all skin types.
How does the Fractional Erbium YAG laser treatment work?
The Fractional Erbium YAG laser treatment is an advanced method to improve and firm the skin from within. During the treatment, the laser creates small, controlled “holes” in the skin that activate the natural healing mechanisms. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, making the skin tighter, smoother and younger.
The laser works with a wavelength of 2940 nm, which responds to the moisture in the skin. As a result, small pieces of skin tissue evaporate. This process stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer skin. The results are often visible after 2 to 3 weeks.
What makes the Fractional Erbium YAG laser treatment special?
The Fractional Erbium YAG laser combines effectiveness with a short recovery time. This treatment:
- Works deep into the skin to address wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production for long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
- Has minimal downtime compared to traditional lasers.
The laser is suitable for all skin types and can be used all year round. The versatility of this treatment makes it an excellent choice for both skin rejuvenation and skin tightening.
When to choose a Fractional Erbium YAG laser treatment?
This treatment is suitable for anyone who wants to address signs of skin aging or damage. It is particularly effective in:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Large pores and skin texture
- (Acne) scars
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Smoker skin and a dull complexion
During a personal consultation, we will determine together whether this treatment is suitable for your skin type and needs.
