WHAT IS IT

What is erbium fractional laser?

Erbium fractional laser splits the laser beam into microscopic columns, creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and collagen regeneration.

This minimally invasive treatment effectively addresses acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, with a shorter recovery time compared to traditional laser resurfacing.

Device technical specifications

  • Device manufacturer: Fotona
  • Mechanism of action: Selective photothermolysis + targeted action on pigment / blood vessels / water
HOW IT WORKS

How does erbium fractional laser work?

The laser emits micro-fine beams in a fractional array pattern, creating micro-injuries in both the epidermis and dermis.

This stimulates skin regeneration and collagen remodeling, leaving skin smoother, firmer, and more youthful.

  • Consultation and skin assessment
  • Apply topical anesthetic cream
  • Fractional laser treatment
  • Natural skin repair and collagen regeneration
PIH PREVENTION · Key differentiators for Asian skin

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) risk management

  1. Wood’s lamp Diagnosis— Identify pigmentation type to determine appropriate energy level and wavelength.
  2. Fitzpatrick Assessment— III–V Low-energy protocol for Asian skin types
  3. A test spot is performed first for higher-risk candidates.— Patch test first, then determine full-face treatment plan.

    What these references can and cannot tell you. They describe what is known about the treatment itself — how well it tends to work, how long results last, and what can go wrong. They are not an assessment of this clinic, and no published study can tell you whether it suits your skin type, anatomy, or medical history. That judgement comes from the physician who examines you in person, and it may well be “not this one”.
