What Is the Erbium Glass 1550nm Laser? Advanced Collagen Remodeling Treatment

The Erbium Glass 1550 nm laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that targets the deeper layers of the skin to remodel collagen and repair texture irregularities. It works by creating precise microthermal zones within the dermis, triggering the skin’s natural healing response and stimulating new collagen formation, all without damaging the surface.

Simular to the renowned Fraxel Dual system, the 1550 nm wavelength penetrates deeper than the 1927 nm Thulium laser, making it ideal for improving acne scarring, wrinkles, and skin laxity across various treatment areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage.

A trial published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery has demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the 1550 nm Erbium Glass laser to be safe and effective for improving texture, scarring, and pigmentation across various skin types.

This treatment is safe for most individuals and can be customized to suit specific skin concerns and comfort levels.

What Can the Erbium Glass 1550nm Laser Address?

The Erbium Glass 1550 nm laser is an advanced treatment designed to restore smoother, more even skin by working deep within the dermal layers. It delivers controlled energy that stimulates collagen regeneration, helping to repair damaged tissue and improve overall skin texture.

This makes it one of the most versatile options for acne scar laser resurfacing in London, offering noticeable results with minimal downtime.

It’s particularly effective for improving the following concerns:

colors-1

Acne and Atrophic Scarring

Helps remodel collagen and smooth out pitted or uneven acne scars for a clearer complexion.

colors-1

Fine Lines and Moderate Wrinkles

Reduces visible signs of ageing by tightening skin and improving elasticity.

colors-1

Skin Laxity and Rough Texture

Enhances firmness and promotes a more refined, even surface.

colors-1

Large or Uneven Pores

Minimises pore appearance and refines skin texture.

colors-1

Stretch Marks and Superficial Scars

Stimulates new tissue growth to soften and fade visible marks.

colors-1

Stretch Marks and Uneven Tone or Sun-Damaged Skin

Restores clarity and brightness by targeting pigmentation irregularities and photo-damage.

How Does the Erbium Glass 1550nm Laser Work?

The Erbium Glass 1550 nm laser delivers fractional erbium beams of infrared light deep into the skin, creating microscopic thermal zones that stimulate new collagen and elastin production.

The surrounding untreated tissue accelerates recovery, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more even skin over time. Here’s how the process unfolds:

  • Deep Fractional Targeting: Laser energy penetrates the dermis to remodel collagen and resurface damaged tissue.
  • Regenerative Healing: Natural repair mechanisms replace old skin cells with new collagen-rich tissue.
  • Progressive Refinement: Continued improvement in skin tone, elasticity, and texture occurs over several weeks.

For full-spectrum rejuvenation, the Erbium Glass 1550 nm laser is often paired with the Thulium 1927 nm laser, combining deep collagen renewal with epidermal brightening.

Treatment Overview: What to Expect

Your Erbium Glass 1550 nm laser treatment is personalised to deliver results safely and comfortably.

  • Initial Consultation & Assessment: Dr. Emanuel Paleco or one of our trained practitioners will assess your skin and discuss your concerns.
  • Day of Treatment: After cleansing and numbing, the laser is applied evenly across the target area. Patients typically experience a mild warming or prickling sensation.
  • Immediately After: Skin may appear pink or slightly swollen, similar to a light sunburn.
  • Post-Treatment Recovery: Mild redness may last 1–3 days; any flaking resolves quickly as the skin renews itself.
  • Maintenance: Noticeable results develop gradually over 2–3 weeks and continue to improve for months. A series of 3–4 treatments may be recommended for optimal rejuvenation.

Coming to the visible results, the Erbium Glass 1550 nm laser delivers gradual, long-lasting improvement as new collagen forms beneath the skin’s surface.

  • Days 1–3: Mild redness or warmth subsides as initial healing begins.
  • Days 4–7: Texture becomes smoother and pores appear more refined as old skin cells shed.
  • Weeks 2–3: Collagen remodeling becomes noticeable, with improved firmness and evenness in tone.
  • Month 1-3: Progressive tightening and reduction in scarring and fine lines continue as deeper dermal renewal takes effect.

Results and recovery times vary based on individual skin response, treatment depth, and overall healing capacity.
