Precision Ablative Resurfacing
2940 Er:YAG Laser
Erbium's ultra-precise wavelength resurfaces damaged skin with minimal residual heat.
- Best for
- Texture, lines, scars, sun damage
- Downtime
- 3–7 days depending on depth
- Sessions
- 1–3, spaced 8 weeks apart
- Recovery feel
- Similar to sunburn, 2–3 days
About the treatment
The 2940nm Erbium:YAG wavelength is absorbed by water in the skin with extraordinary precision, vaporising damaged surface layers layer-by-layer while generating minimal unwanted heat. The result is cleaner, faster-healing resurfacing than older CO2 systems.
Er:YAG excels at refining texture, softening fine to moderate lines, reducing scars and giving the skin a genuinely renewed, polished surface — with tunable depth from light refresh to deeper resurfacing.
What it treats
- Rough or sun-damaged texture
- Fine to moderate lines
- Acne & surgical scars
- Enlarged pores
- Dull, thickened skin
- Keratosis (assessed)
How it works
The process, step by step.
- 01
Calibrate
Depth and density are calibrated to your concern, tone and recovery window.
- 02
Vaporise
The Er:YAG beam precisely ablates damaged layers with minimal thermal spread.
- 03
Heal
Fresh skin surfaces within days and collagen tightening continues for months.
Is this right for me?
2940 Er:YAG Laser suits you if you're…
Suitability is always confirmed at your consultation and skin analysis before any treatment is booked.
- Visible texture damage needing true resurfacing
- Scarring or lines unsuited to lighter treatments
- Clients able to allow about a week of healing time
Questions
Everything you might ask.
Why Er:YAG instead of CO2?
Erbium's precise absorption means less residual heat, less redness and faster healing for comparable resurfacing at moderate depths.
Can it be combined?
Yes — Er:YAG pairs well with IPL for pigment, sequenced in a staged plan designed at your analysis.
What is healing like?
Expect 2–3 days of warmth and swelling, then 3–7 days of light crusting and pinkness depending on depth.
