Sciton Joule Erbium:YAG Laser

Advanced Resurfacing with Sciton Erbium:YAG –
Precision by Dermatologists

At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we use the Sciton Joule Erbium:YAG laser for ultra-precise skin resurfacing, scar revision, and rejuvenation treatments. This laser delivers controlled ablation to the skin’s outer layers with minimal heat, making it ideal for treating texture irregularities, wrinkles, and sun damage with less downtime than traditional CO2 lasers.

The Erbium:YAG laser is a gold-standard resurfacing device, offering tailored depths for everything from light peels to deep resurfacing-allowing us to treat fine lines, acne scars, and uneven tone with medical precision.

Our Erbium:YAG Laser Patient Outcomes

Explore the powerful resurfacing results achieved with the Sciton Joule Erbium:YAG laser-smoother texture, softer lines, and revitalised skin.

What Is the Sciton Erbium:YAG Laser?

This resurfacing laser emits energy at 2940nm, targeting water in the skin to ablate surface layers with extreme precision. Unlike CO2 lasers, Erbium:YAG removes damaged tissue with minimal residual heat, meaning faster healing and reduced risk of pigmentation changes.

It is a preferred option for patients seeking high-impact resurfacing with reduced downtime, particularly on delicate facial areas such as around the eyes and mouth.

What To Expect

At Dermatology Clinics Australia, your comfort, safety, and results are our priority. Here’s what you can expect throughout your Sciton Erbium resurfacing journey:

Pre-Treatment:

– During your consultation, one of our dermatologists will assess your skin condition, goals, and suitability for Erbium:YAG laser treatment.

– We’ll customise a treatment depth and plan based on your concerns (wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, etc.).

– You’ll be advised to avoid sun exposure, retinol, and active skincare ingredients in the week leading up to your treatment.

During Treatment:

– Sessions typically take 30–60 minutes depending on the area and treatment depth.

– A topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort. For deeper resurfacing, local anaesthetic or mild sedation may be used.

– You may feel a warm or tingling sensation during the procedure. Our team continuously monitors your comfort and adjusts settings in real time.

Post-Treatment:

– There will be some redness, swelling and weeping of skin, which will heal over a period of 2 -14 days depending on intensity of treatment.

– Most patients resume normal activities after 5–7 days, depending on treatment intensity.

– We provide a tailored aftercare plan including soothing products and SPF.

– You’ll see smoother texture and refined tone after your first session, with further improvement over 4–6 weeks as collagen rebuilds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is downtime after Erbium:YAG?
Downtime depends on the depth of treatment. Light peels may only cause mild redness for 2–3 days, while deeper treatments can require 5–7 days of recovery.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, Erbium:YAG has a safer profile for darker skin than CO2 lasers due to lower heat. We customise settings to minimise pigmentation risks.
Does it hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Deeper treatments may use local anaesthetic. Most patients tolerate it well.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients see improvement after a single session, but 2–3 may be needed for scarring or deeper wrinkles.
Can I combine this with injectables?
Absolutely. We often combine laser resurfacing with bio-remodellers or wrinkle relaxers for optimal results.
