You have addressed what you can with topicals and lighter treatments, and there is still something there, a scar from a procedure, lines around the mouth that hold even at rest, texture that reads older than you feel. You are not looking for a subtle refresh. You are ready for something that works at the level where the concern actually lives.

Best for: deep expression lines · surgical and acne scarring · surface texture irregularities · sun-damaged skin · skin that has not responded to non-ablative treatments

Your VIO begins with comprehensive assessment, we examine skin architecture, discuss your concerns candidly, and determine whether erbium represents the appropriate pathway for your outcome goals. If we proceed together, we prepare your skin in advance and guide you through what healing will require. Treatment is performed under controlled conditions with your comfort prioritized throughout.

The days following are part of the process: planned downtime, structured aftercare, skin that moves through predictable phases of renewal over seven to ten days. New tissue emerges gradually, refined, reset, structurally improved.

Results continue developing over three to six months as collagen remodels and your skin settles into its renewed foundation. From there, we steward what you have built together.

• Damaged skin layers removed, new surface emerges in their place
• Collagen remodeling initiated in the dermis, not just above it
• Deep lines visibly reduced
• Scar texture smoothed at a structural level
• Outcome that continues to develop for months after treatment is complete

When you arrive, your provider will review your skin history and what you are hoping to address, looking at depth, tone, and the specific areas of concern before mapping the approach. On treatment day, numbing is applied and given full time to take effect before anything begins. The laser moves over the skin in controlled increments, with depth adjusted in real time based on how your skin responds. Total appointment time is confirmed at your consultation based on the area and depth being treated.

Downtime: Plan for 7 to 14 days of active healing. The skin will be red, then pink, then settling, this is the process, and your provider will walk you through each phase with clear guidance on what to expect and how to support your recovery.

Results: Visible improvement begins as the skin heals, with continued collagen remodeling over the following months. Most clients see the full outcome at three to six months. That is when we assess together and decide what, if anything, comes next.

Erbium:YAG laser energy is absorbed by water in skin tissue at a rate approximately ten times greater than CO2, enabling precise removal of damaged layers with less heat spread to surrounding tissue. FDA-cleared for skin resurfacing, it has a well-established clinical record in the treatment of deep lines, sun damage, and scar revision across skin types.
