I have had 8 sessions of Erbium laser treatment (3 - 8 weeks apart) on my face with great results. I want to try Erbium on my neck to get rid of the orange-peel look. Is it safe? My doctors had done it to the skin exactly under my chin (I think that's why I lost the 'extra chin'), but I read that Erbium can be dangerous when applied on neck. Usually my skin healed on the 3rd day after the Erbium treatments and on the 7th days after CO2 laser (using the power of 8). I am South-East Asian.
