A 22-year-old-male with significant acne scarring presented to our Beverly Hills office wishing to improve the appearance of his facial skin. Although medical treatments had largely resolved his acne, the resulting deep textural changes and persistent redness had significantly affected his self-esteem. Given he held a full time job, he desired a treatment option that wouldn’t require him taking significant time away from work. After a dermatology cosmetic consultation, we recommended a series of erbium laser treatments. The erbium laser works by removing the top layers of skin in a controlled, precise fashion. The skin appears sun burned for approximately 3-5 days following treatments, but there is no oozing or bleeding or requirement for bandages. Skin remodeling improves over several weeks, but noticeable improvement is seen after each treatment. After a series of 3 treatments, this patient is extremely pleased by his more even skin texture and tone, as well as overall lessened redness. He continues treatments every 6 weeks for even greater improvement.
