A resurfacing laser is a erbium:YAG full-field ablative laser. It removes the most superficial layer of skin to stimulate new collagen production. This laser is highly customizable and can smooth wrinkles such as those around the mouth and under the eyes while also addressing areas of hyperpigmentation.
