Erbium laser treatment
The erbium laser treatment at Skin Improvement & Beauty in Amsterdam makes the skin more even
Skin aging manifests itself not only in fine and deep wrinkles, but also in sagging, enlargement of skin texture, pigmentation spots and sallow skin tone. Skin aging occurs due to a loss of elastin and collagen, the connective tissue fibers that provide tensile strength and firmness. The rate at which the skin ages depends on many factors, including hereditary predisposition, lifestyle and the degree of exposure to UV radiation.
At Skin Improvement & Beauty, the fractional erbium laser treatment allows us to set time back a by slightly reversing the signs of skin aging. The nice thing about erbium laser treatment is that it addresses a variety of indications. Therefore, this treatment is also a real favorite in our offerings. The skin itself is put to work after the treatments to produce more collagen so that the skin can effectively repair and strengthen itself.

Erbium laser for treating scars:
In addition to skin improvement, the fractional laser is also used to treat scars. The laser improves the structure of the skin and has an “abrasive” effect on hypertrophic (thickened) scars whereby the skin flattens.
For atrophic (deepened) scars, it has a firming and thickening effect, filling the scars. This makes acne scars, for example, very treatable.
Depending on the indication and skin quality, 1-3 treatments are needed to achieve the desired results. Sometimes an annual repeat treatment may be necessary for optimal results.

The erbium laser treatment can be perceived as sensitive. During the treatment, you may feel “little pinpricks” on the skin. The skin is cooled and cared for with Aloe Vera gel after the laser treatment. If necessary, a numbing cream may be applied. After the treatment, small scabs may appear on the treated area. It is important not to scratch; the scabs will fall off on their own. It is also very important to stay out of the sun after treatment.

The result of the Erbium Laser treatment at Skin Improvement Beauty in Amsterdam
Fractional laser treatments blur fine lines and give the skin a more even and fresh appearance. Skin blood flow is improved and wrinkles become less deep. However, results vary from person to person. Within a few days to 2 weeks, you will see a beautiful improvement in skin texture and tone. The final result takes time and is not visible until later. This is because the process of collagen formation takes time, the treatment puts the body itself to work to form more collagen. At least three months after a cure, you can only see the final effect of the treatment. The new tissue created by the skin will not disappear, this makes the results long lasting / permanent. Of course, the aging process of the skin cannot be stopped and you will have to maintain the results.

When will I see the results of erbium laser treatment?
After about 1-2 weeks after the treatment, you will see the first results directly on the skin surface. The skin will appear more even.
