What Is 2940nm Erbium:YAG?

2940nm Erbium:YAG is an ablative laser treatment that precisely targets the outer layers of the skin, stimulating collagen growth and encouraging healthy new skin cells to emerge.

The “2940” refers to the specific wavelength of the laser, which is particularly effective at vaporizing damaged skin cells and smoothing out deeper wrinkles and scars.

Despite its powerful resurfacing capabilities, this procedure is tailored to each individual’s tolerance and goals, ensuring optimal results with minimized discomfort.

What Are the Benefits of 2940nm Erbium:YAG?

Whether you’re concerned about deeper lines, scars, or persistent discoloration, 2940nm Erbium:YAG offers the following benefits:

  • Deep Resurfacing: This ablative treatment works on deeper layers of skin, effectively reducing moderate to severe wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage.
  • Enhanced Texture & Tone: By removing the damaged outer layer, fresh, rejuvenated skin surfaces, leading to a more even, refined complexion.
  • Stimulated Collagen Growth: Collagen is the key to firm, youthful-looking skin. The Erbium:YAG laser jumpstarts collagen production, promoting long-term improvements.
  • Precise & Versatile: The adjustable settings allow for highly targeted treatments, making it suitable for different skin types and areas of the face and body.
  • Proven & Trusted: Erbium:YAG technology has a well-documented track record for safety and efficacy in aesthetic medicine.
  • Customizable Treatment: Settings can be adjusted for each patient’s comfort and desired outcomes.

Am I a Good Candidate for 2940nm Erbium:YAG?

If you’re frustrated with more pronounced wrinkles, scarring, or pigmentation concerns that aren’t fully addressed by gentler treatments, 2940nm Erbium:YAG could be an ideal choice. This procedure offers deeper resurfacing than many other laser modalities while still aiming to minimize downtime and discomfort.

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation

During your consultation, the Fulcrum Aesthetics team will assess your skin needs, recommend whether this laser is right for you, and craft a personalized approach to ensure the best possible outcome.

Procedure

Before the procedure, we cleanse your skin thoroughly and often apply a topical numbing cream to optimize comfort. We then carefully pass the 2940nm Erbium:YAG laser over the targeted areas, removing damaged surface skin cells and initiating collagen regeneration. Once the resurfacing is complete, we’ll evaluate the treated areas and review any aftercare details to help you maximize your results.

Recovery and Results

Because it’s an ablative procedure, you can expect some redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn for several days. Proper post-care—including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and diligent sun protection—will be crucial for optimal healing.

Most patients see an initial improvement as the redness subsides, with continued changes over the following weeks as collagen remodeling takes effect. Regular follow-ups and maintenance treatments can help preserve your new, youthful glow.

We prioritize your comfort with topical numbing and other measures. While sensations can vary, most patients describe it as a warm or mildly prickly, manageable feeling.

How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need For Optimal Results?

The number of sessions varies depending on your skin’s condition, goals, and tolerance. Some patients notice a significant improvement after just one session, particularly for milder concerns, whereas others may benefit from two or more treatments spaced several weeks apart. During your consultation, we will assess the depth of your wrinkles, scars, or pigmentation and recommend the number of sessions to help you achieve optimal, long-lasting results.

Is 2940nm Erbium:YAG Safe For All Skin Tones?

Erbium:YAG technology is considered more versatile for a range of skin tones compared to older ablative lasers, but that doesn’t mean it’s entirely without risks for pigmentation changes.

When Can I Resume Wearing Makeup After My Procedure?

Many patients can typically resume wearing makeup about 5–7 days after treatment once the initial redness and sensitivity subside. However, your healing process might differ. It’s important to follow our post-care guidelines, which may include using gentle, mineral-based makeup and non-irritating cleansers. Proper aftercare ensures you don’t disrupt your skin’s recovery and helps extend the benefits of your treatment.
