By producing less residual heat, it allows skin renewal with generally faster healing and fewer side effects.

This technique makes it possible to precisely vaporise the superficial, intermediate, or deep layers of the skin while generating minimal thermal diffusion into the dermis, which generally reduces the duration of the inflammatory phase and the occurrence of side effects.<br>This characteristic explains its excellent precision.

It allows highly controlled treatment of the skin layers while preserving the surrounding tissues. This precision makes it possible to treat areas where the skin is thin, such as around the eyes or the lips.<br>Its limited thermal diffusion is another major advantage. This reduces inflammatory reactions, promotes faster healing, and lowers the risk of pigmentary complications.<br>The treatment can be adjusted according to individual needs. A very superficial ablation quickly improves skin radiance, while deeper resurfacing helps correct wrinkles or scars.<\/p>\n<h2>Indications for Erbium laser<\/h2>\n<p>Erbium laser is an excellent option for patients wishing to improve skin quality with faster recovery than other ablative lasers. This technology can be offered to :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Treat superficial facial wrinkles and fine lines.<\/li>\n<li>Improve mild, moderate and severe photoageing.<\/li>\n<li>Smooth perioral wrinkles.<\/li>\n<li>Improve wrinkles around the eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Correct irregular skin texture.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce enlarged pores.<\/li>\n<li>Improve superficial scars, particularly acne scars.<\/li>\n<li>Treat certain benign skin lesions.<\/li>\n<li>Improve overall skin quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Which areas can be treated with the Erbium laser ?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The face is the main indication for the Erbium laser.<br>The area around the lips and the eye contour respond particularly well to this technology because of the thinness of the skin in these regions.<br>The treatment can also be performed on the neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9, or hands to improve signs of ageing. Certain scars or pigmentation on the body may also be treated when their depth is compatible with this type of resurfacing.<br>The choice of treatment areas always depends on a precise clinical assessment, the quality of the skin, and the patient's expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/effets-secondaires-laser-fractionne-768x430.webp\" alt=\"photo of skin after laser resurfacing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/effets-secondaires-laser-fractionne-768x430.webp 768w, https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/effets-secondaires-laser-fractionne-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/effets-secondaires-laser-fractionne-1024x574.webp 1024w, https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/effets-secondaires-laser-fractionne-1536x861.webp 1536w, https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/effets-secondaires-laser-fractionne-2048x1148.webp 2048w, https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/effets-secondaires-laser-fractionne-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Contraindications<\/h2>\n<p>Le laser Erbium est contre-indiqu\u00e9 en cas de grossesse ou d&rsquo;allaitement, d&rsquo;infection cutan\u00e9e active (herp\u00e8s, imp\u00e9tigo, plaie), de maladie dermatologique inflammatoire \u00e9volutive, de bronzage ou d&rsquo;exposition solaire r\u00e9cent.

It is also advisable to avoid intense sun exposure as well as the use of self-tanning products during this period in order to reduce the risk of pigmentary disorders.<br>Topical retinoids (tretinoin, retinol, adapalene, tazarotene, etc.) are generally discontinued 5 to 7 days before treatment. Exfoliating or irritating products (AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, high-concentration vitamin C, scrubs) should also be stopped 5 to 7 days before the session.<br>Superficial chemical peels are usually avoided during the 2 to 4 weeks preceding treatment, while an interval of 3 to 6 months is required after a medium or deep peel.<br>For patients with a history of labial or facial herpes, prophylactic antiviral treatment is prescribed. It is generally started the day before or on the day of the session and continued for 5 to 7 days.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens during the session<\/h3>\n<p>Apr\u00e8s un nettoyage soigneux de la peau, une cr\u00e8me anesth\u00e9siante est appliqu\u00e9e.

Superficial scars or more significant skin alterations generally require 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.<\/p>\n<h2>Possible side effects of Erbium laser<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Like any ablative laser, Erbium laser can cause temporary side effects linked to normal healing.<br>The most frequent are redness, slight swelling, warmth, dryness and peeling for a few days. More rarely, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, herpes reactivation, skin infection or delayed healing may occur. These complications remain rare when indications are correctly established, settings are adapted to phototype and aftercare recommendations are followed properly.<\/p>\n<h2>R\u00e9sultats d&rsquo;une s\u00e9ance de laser Erbium<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Once healing is complete, the skin texture appears more even, fine lines are reduced, and the complexion becomes brighter and more uniform. Pores are less visible, and superficial scars gradually become less noticeable.<br>Improvement continues over the 3 months following the session thanks to the progressive remodelling of the superficial tissues. However, the results depend on the depth of the lesions, the patient's age, sun exposure, and the intrinsic quality of the skin.<br>Good sun protection helps prolong the benefits of the treatment over time.<\/p>\n<h2>Findings from clinical studies on Erbium laser<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"translation-block\">A review published in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/journal\/10969101\">Lasers in Surgery and Medicine<\/a><\/em> highlights that the Er:YAG laser enables highly precise skin resurfacing thanks to its strong absorption by water and its limited thermal diffusion, promoting faster healing while improving superficial wrinkles and skin texture.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\">A study published in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/dermatologicsurgery\">Dermatologic Surgery<\/a><\/em> reports significant improvement in perioral wrinkles and photoageing after Erbium laser resurfacing, with high patient satisfaction and shorter recovery than other ablative techniques.<\/li>\n<li>Publications in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/journals\/ijcl20\"><em>Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy<\/em><\/a> montrent que le laser Erbium am\u00e9liore le grain de peau, les pores dilat\u00e9s et certaines cicatrices superficielles gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un renouvellement contr\u00f4l\u00e9 de l&rsquo;\u00e9piderme, tout en pr\u00e9sentant un excellent profil de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 lorsque les param\u00e8tres sont adapt\u00e9s au phototype du patient.<\/li>\n<li>International recommendations published in <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/journal\/10969101\"><em>Lasers in Surgery and Medicine<\/em><\/a> emphasise that the choice between Erbium and CO\u2082 laser should be guided by lesion depth, desired recovery time, phototype and patient expectations.
