Erbium Ablative Laser in Portage, MI

Smooth Wrinkles, Improve Skin Tone, and Resurface Your Skin

Fine lines, deeper wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and surface texture concerns are things many people notice over time and want to address in a meaningful way. At-home products can help with maintenance, but they often fall short when it comes to more significant skin changes. At Reflections Salon and Med Spa, the erbium ablative laser is a precise laser resurfacing treatment designed to remove old skin cell layers and reveal smoother, more even skin on the face, hands, neck, and chest.

We take time before each appointment to talk through your skin concerns and goals so the treatment is set up to work best for your individual needs. Many clients in Portage choose this treatment because it addresses both surface-level concerns and deeper lines in a single session, and they appreciate having a team that prepares them thoroughly for what to expect throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the erbium ablative laser work?

This ablative laser skin resurfacing treatment uses precise laser energy to remove the outer layers of skin in a controlled way. The focused approach produces a narrower area of tissue heating than many other resurfacing options, allowing for targeted skin cell removal with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

What skin concerns does this treatment address?

This treatment is designed to improve fine lines, deeper wrinkles, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, keratosis lesions, and pore size. It can be used on the face, hands, neck, and chest.

How long does an erbium ablative laser session take?

Each session takes approximately 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

What is recovery like after treatment?

Most clients experience redness, peeling, tenderness, and some swelling for 4 to 7 days following their session. Those receiving deeper treatment may find the healing period runs a little longer. Our team will provide thorough aftercare instructions before you leave your appointment.

Is this treatment suitable for all skin types?

This treatment works best for Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4 and is not appropriate for all skin tones. Our team will review your skin type and concerns during your consultation to confirm it is the right fit for you.

How soon will I see results after my erbium laser resurfacing session?

Improvement in skin texture and tone becomes visible as the skin heals. Fine lines may appear reduced, and deeper lines can look noticeably softer, with continued improvement developing over the following weeks as the skin recovers fully.

Can the erbium ablative laser be combined with other treatments?

Yes, it pairs well with Emsculpt® and VanquishME™ for clients who want to address additional body contouring or fat reduction concerns alongside their skin resurfacing results. Our team can help you put together a combination that fits your goals when you book.
