How safe and effective is erbium laser for skin resurfacing? (Photo)

Chicago8894
I'm 54 with pretty good skin, moderate sun damage but have noticed more fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes. I have had ipl but would like to dip my toe in a fractional treatment. Is erbium a good choice and can I ask to keep settings low for safety? I'm a wimp lol. Thank you in advance for responding. Including a photo to show fine concerns.
