Erbium YAG Laser
Introduction To Erbium YAG Laser Treatment
One of the laser resurfacing devices we use at PHI is the Erbium YAG laser. This produces energy in the mid infrared invisible light spectrum which can be used to precisely target skin and water-holding tissue, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This creates a controlled thermal injury or wound that leads to remodelling of collagen (the protein in skin that controls skin strength and elasticity).
Skin problems can cause self-consciousness in even the most confident of people, and just get worse as we age, whether they be wrinkles, pigmentation, or scars. Laser skin treatment is a popular, effective treatment for a variety of skin problems or conditions.
To see whether the Erbium YAG laser treatment is right for you, book a no obligation consultation with one of our experienced clinicians at PHI Clinic today.

Technical Information
This clinically proven procedure can be used on a variety of problems with the skin over a series of treatments, including reduction of facial wrinkles, especially on the forehead, upper lips, and cheeks, as well as repairing smoker’s lines by smoothing out pucker marks.
This laser skin treatment is also approved for the use of smoothing the skin around the eyelids, and the reduction of crow’s feet. Lack of confidence related to scars can be made a thing of the past thanks to the Erbium:YAG laser, which can improve and flatten atrophic scars caused by trauma, acne, and even surgery. Even superficial pigmentation issues can be addressed, including age spots, liver spots, freckles, and other discolourations of the skin, like uneven skin colour.
