No results Erbium laser resurfacing after 2 weeks?

Collagen remodeling after any laser treatment is a process expected to take several months.  At only two weeks after your treatment I am not surprised that the results are not yet apparent.  Be patient and expect to see steady improvement over the next 2 - 3 months.

Thanks for your query. It takes time to show results after any dermatological treatment and generally one sitting is not enough it takes a couple of sittings to show results and the same goes for erbium yag laser also. You should wait for a couple of days and if you still don’t see any change you can consult your treating doctor for further sittings. Hope it helps.All The Best

At this early stage I would not be concerned. Be patient and reassess after a full 2 months. If you still have concerns, speak with your provider. A revision laser procedure could always be considered.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Thank you for your question. The speed at which laser skin resurfacing takes effect differs among patients. Some patients may see results immediately while others require 2-3 months. At the 2 weeks post op mark, patients are unlikely to see significant improvement. Please discuss your recovery expectations and all other questions you may have with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Best wishes,

Thank you for your question.You are very early in the recovery period for a laser. At 2 weeks it is completely normal to not see any results in the fine lines, at this point they may even appear worse.  The skin becomes dry after a procedure like this, so it can make the lines look deeper at times. The main thing is to stay protected from the sun and moisturize daily. Follow any instructions your surgeon has given you very carefully. You need more time to heal, don't panic. Good luck.
