Erbium Laser and Surface Pigmentation
Erbium resurfacing may be considered for selected superficial discoloration and uneven tone because it can renew damaged outer skin layers with a precise thermal profile. It is not appropriate for every pigment concern, particularly when melasma or deeper pigment is involved.
Preventing Rebound Pigmentation
Any laser treatment can trigger pigment changes when skin is not properly selected, prepared, or protected from UV exposure. Individualized treatment settings, a clear aftercare plan, and careful sun protection are central to safer pigment treatment.
