Erbium Laser in Boston

Consultation and Cost

You will start with a comprehensive consultation at The Spiegel Center, where we'll evaluate:

• Your skin condition
• Discuss your aesthetic goals, 
• Create a personalized treatment plan.

During this visit, we'll examine your skin texture, tone, and specific concerns to determine the optimal laser settings and treatment approach. We'll review your medical history, current skincare routine, and any medications that might affect healing. The cost for Erbium laser treatment varies based on the treatment area and whether you choose a single session or a package. A full-face treatment package of three sessions is typically priced around $11,000, offering significant savings compared to individual treatments. Single-session pricing depends on the area being treated. During your consultation, we'll provide detailed pricing information and discuss financing options to make your treatment accessible and convenient.

Procedure Steps

On treatment day, you'll arrive at our office, where we'll begin with thorough skin cleansing to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, typically requiring 30-45 minutes to take full effect.

Once your skin is properly anesthetized, the Erbium laser is systematically passed over the treatment area in a precise pattern. You may feel mild warmth or tingling sensations, but most patients report minimal discomfort thanks to the numbing preparation.

The procedure itself usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Immediately afterward, we apply a soothing ointment and provide detailed post-treatment care instructions. You'll leave with everything you need for optimal healing at home.

Recovery and Results Timeline

Erbium laser recovery follows a predictable progression, though individual experiences vary slightly:

• Immediately: Your skin will appear red and feel similar to a moderate sunburn. This initial redness is most intense during the first 24-48 hours and gradually subsides over the following days.
• Within 2-3 days: You'll notice the treated skin beginning to flake and peel as the damaged layers shed. This is a normal and desirable part of the healing process; resist the urge to pick or scrub, and allow the skin to exfoliate naturally. 
• 2-3 Weeks: Initial improvements become visible and new skin emerges.

However, the most dramatic results develop gradually over the following 2-6 months as collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface. Your skin will progressively become smoother, firmer, and more radiant during this period.
