Erbium Laser Safety by Skin Type
Erbium laser may be considered across Fitzpatrick skin types I through V when a qualified provider selects appropriate settings and aftercare. Skin tone alone never determines candidacy. Pigment history, recent sun exposure, active inflammation, medications, and scar history all matter.
Questions to Ask Before Resurfacing
Ask how treatment depth will be selected, what downtime to expect, which aftercare products are appropriate, and what alternatives are available if resurfacing is not the safest choice for your concern.
