“I don’t want to look like a different person.” 🙅♀️ I hear this all the time from my facial rejuvenation patients - and that’s a GOOD thing! Facial rejuvenation is not about changing your identity. If anything, it’s about restoring your identity. Patients want to look as good as they feel, not like someone else entirely.

This patient underwent a facelift, necklift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and a full face erbium laser resurfacing.

Is erbium the same as a CO2 laser? Great question! No, erbium is similar to a CO2 laser in that both target water in the skin. However, an erbium laser has a 1000x higher affinity for water and therefore has a much smaller zones of injury. This means I can be much more precise with an erbium laser. The laser takes off several of the top layers of the skin to improve tone and complexion. This helps significantly with those age spots and sun spot, fine wrinkles, and crepey skin through the face.
