Facial Resurfacing Laser Treatment Melbourne | Erbium Laser

What Is Facial Resurfacing Laser?

Erbium Resurfacing Laser Treatment isn’t a beauty trend, it is a clinical approach to skin renewal. Erbium resurfacing laser is typically used to improve the outermost layers of skin, especially when texture or tone has been affected over time. The procedure removes fine surface skin in controlled layers, allowing healthy, newer skin to replace it as part of the body’s natural repair cycle.

We often consider this treatment for:

Coarse or uneven texture
Shallow acne scarring
Fine lines and mild creasing
Pigment from sun exposure

It’s important to understand that this is a medical-grade procedure. You’ll need a proper consultation before anything is scheduled, just to make sure it’s the right fit for your skin.

Why a Consultation Comes First!

Before talking about lasers, we need to understand your skin. That means reviewing your medical history, previous treatments, and how your skin typically reacts to healing.

Your consultation is about more than just discussing your skin type. We’ll look at medications, sensitivities, and the depth of correction needed. If erbium resurfacing isn’t ideal, we’ll tell you why and suggest alternatives that may be more suitable.

When it is appropriate, we’ll explain every step in detail so you feel informed at every step of the way. With us, you will always make informed decisions and choose treatments that will best cater to your expectations.

How Facial Resurfacing Laser Supports Skin Renewal

This treatment targets the skin’s upper layers with precision. Its main function is to help remove damaged cells and trigger the body to rebuild tissue, mainly by stimulating collagen and creating a more even texture over time.
The procedure is usually short. We clean the skin, use a topical numbing cream if needed, and apply the laser in sections. You may feel a bit of heat or tingling. Most patients describe it as manageable, especially with proper prep.

Afterward, you might notice mild redness or peeling. Recovery is different for everyone, but in general, the surface heals within a week. We’ll walk you through each step before and after the session.

Thinking About Erbium Laser Resurfacing? Here's What to Know

As cosmetic professionals committed to your safety and satisfaction, we believe that informed decisions lead to better outcomes. If you’re exploring Erbium Laser Resurfacing, here are some key things to keep in mind:

Every treatment should start with a personalised consultation. This isn’t just a tick-box step, it’s how you can ensure the approach is appropriate for your skin type, medical background, and what you’re actually hoping to achieve.
Results can vary from person to person. Skin can respond differently depending on factors like skin tone, previous treatments, healing speed, and how closely the aftercare plan is followed. That’s why we discuss the expectations in the first consultation itself.
Though generally well tolerated, this is still a medical-grade procedure. Some short-term effects like redness, peeling, or temporary changes in skin tone are normal. During your consultation, we cover all of this clearly so you know what’s coming next.

We're here to make the process feel straightforward. From your first appointment through to your follow-up, we’ll make sure your questions are answered and that you always feel informed and supported.

Post-Treatment Care: What to Do and Avoid

How your skin heals is just as important as the laser itself. We’ll give you specific guidance, but here are some general things to follow:

Stay out of the sun. UV exposure can affect healing. Use sunscreen, even indoors if near windows.
Use gentle skincare only. Stick to what’s recommended. No exfoliants, acids, or strong actives.
Avoid makeup at first. Most people wait 5–7 days before wearing foundation or concealer again.
Don’t pick or peel flaking skin. Let it come away naturally.
Follow up as advised. We’ll want to check on healing and answer any questions that come up after your visit.

Healing isn’t instant but most people see their skin begin to settle and smooth within 7 to 10 days.

Who Might Benefit from Erbium Lasers in Melbourne?

Not everyone will be the right candidate, and that’s part of why the consultation matters. You may be a good fit if:

You’re dealing with persistent texture issues or uneven tone
You’ve tried topical solutions with limited success
You’re comfortable with a few days of visible downtime
You want a non-injectable option with medically guided results

If you have very sensitive skin, active conditions, or concerns about pigmentation, we’ll explore other options instead. We tailor everything to the individual.

Frequently Asked Questions

View All FAQs

How does erbium laser compare to other resurfacing options?

Our state of the art Fotona erbium laser is capable of achieving similar depths of skin removal with far less thermal energy than some alternatives like CO₂ laser, which can make recovery quicker and lower the risk of side effects for certain patients.

Is this suitable for all skin types?

Not always. Skin tone, healing tendencies, and other medical factors all play a role. That’s why we screen each case carefully.

Will one session be enough?

That depends on what’s being treated. Some patients see benefits after one appointment, while others may need a series for optimal results.

How long do the results typically last?

Results can last for several months, especially with sun protection and good skincare habits. Long-term maintenance varies person to person.

Can I wear makeup straight after treatment?

Not immediately. Most people wait around a week, depending on how their skin responds. We’ll let you know when it’s safe based on your healing progress.
