Erbium Fibre Laser

For superficial to medium depth scars we use Fractional erbium fibre laser. This laser employs the “only one pass” formula. It is effective, saves your time and protects your skin. ResurFX uses a 1565 nm fiber laser and a very advanced scanner – say good bye to your scars! This treatment is one of the most stable scar removal techniques which have less danger and pain. It is a non-invasive treatment which needs no downtime as the process involves delivering rapid energy with the help of fractional laser technology. – get your treatment and resume for work the same day! The microbeams penetrate deep resulting into regrowth of cells and collagen remodelling. It offers a number of advantages when compared with similar treatments. 

• Faster; it treats the underlying condition in one pass without harming the skin’s surface.

• Less painful; the device’s energy is dispersed to prevent overheating and damaging skin surfaces.

• Flexible; it can be combined with fillers and neurotoxins to provide more treatment possibilities

This Fractional erbium fibre laser is the latest in non-ablative, fractional laser technology.  Non-ablative means it does not damage or ablate the skin cells, while fractional means it is only affecting a fraction or percentage of the skin.  The advantage of this technology is that it is able to give great results with minimal recovery time unlike the CO2 laser, which has few or more days of peeling, crusting and possible swelling after the procedure. 

The non-ablative fractional Erbium fibre laser uses a wavelength that does not cause the water in the tissue to evaporate (ablate) but rather the laser energy warms the tissue in a controlled manner.  The rise in temperature encourages neocollagenesis, a process in which new collagen is created by the body. Collagen is a fibrous protein which gives the skin its elasticity and suppleness. By producing new collagen the skin regains it youthful appearance. 

Treatment downtime is significantly lessened as the treatment does not involve tissue evaporation or ablation, which is also why it is preferred over ablative treatments by many patients.  

The advanced technology offers deeper dermal laser penetration and is delivered by laser pulses in fractional patterns. The laser vaporizes small columns of tissue on the skin's surface, encouraging the body's natural skin cell and collagen regenerative responses. Because of its miniscule size, the laser does not damage surrounding healthy tissue, allowing for rapid healing to only the targeted area.

PRE PROCEDURE

Before starting the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the face for half an hour. Once the face is anaesthetised, the duration of procedure depends upon the number of scars.

POST PROCEDURE

After the erbium fibre laser treatment, patients can return home right away but may feel like their skin is sunburned for initial few hours. The skin may also appear pink or red during this time, which can be covered up with makeup if needed. Over the next couple of days, the skin will then bronze and continue in this pattern as you undergo multiple treatment sessions. Patients may also experience flaking with the appearance of sunburn as the old, damaged skin is exfoliated and new, fresh skin takes its place.

Patients may also experience mild swelling and redness, although these side effects usually go away on their own in a small time. The results of the procedure will continue to improve with every session and optimum results are seen in following months.

Most patients can achieve effective results from three to five fractional erbium fibre laser treatment sessions spaced almost a month apart. Patients can return to work very quickly after each of these sessions, usually within a day.

After treatment it is important for patients to take certain precautions to protect the skin and help it heal properly. Patients should always apply sunscreen of at least 40 SPF daily.

This scar reduction therapy helps smoothen and flatten acne scars while increasing the production of healthy cells that gently replaces the scarred cells. We also have lasers that are safe for patients with darker skin types. For acne scar treatment, laser is a non-invasive approach. It is an excellent alternative to surgical methods since it is a quick procedure that can be done even during your lunch time.

Erbium Fibre Laser Treatment for Acne Scars in Delhi – Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing at Dadu Medical Centre

Living with acne scars long after the acne has cleared is something many people in Delhi struggle with daily, and for those looking for a treatment that delivers real improvement without long recovery periods, Erbium Fibre Laser acne scar treatment in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre is one of the most well-suited options available today. This is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment, which means it works by sending laser energy deep into the skin in a fractional pattern without removing or burning off the outer skin surface. That distinction matters a great deal in practice because it means the skin stays largely intact during the procedure, which dramatically reduces the healing time compared to older, more aggressive ablative lasers. The technology used is a 1565 nm fibre laser delivered through an advanced scanning system that creates thousands of controlled microscopic zones of heat in the deeper skin layers. These tiny columns of thermal energy known as microthermal zones trigger the skin's own repair response, pushing the body to produce new collagen and elastin in the treated areas. Over time, this new collagen fills in the depressed areas of atrophic acne scars, remodels the scar tissue, and improves the overall texture and smoothness of the skin. At Dadu Medical Centre, one of the established acne scar treatment clinics in Delhi, Dr. Nivedita Dadu uses the Erbium Fibre Laser specifically for superficial to medium depth scars including boxcar scars, rolling scars, and shallow ice pick scars, where fractional non-ablative resurfacing delivers the most effective results with minimal disruption to the patient's daily routine. The clinic is located at Vasant Vihar in South Delhi and Rajouri Garden in West Delhi, and the treatment is suitable for both men and women across a range of Indian skin tones.

One of the most useful ways to understand the Erbium Fibre Laser is to compare it with other laser options available for acne scar treatment in Delhi. Traditional ablative lasers such as the full ablative CO2 laser work by vaporising the outer skin layer entirely, which forces the skin to regrow from scratch. While effective, this kind of treatment comes with several days to weeks of significant downtime, redness, and a healing phase that many people find difficult to manage alongside work and daily responsibilities. Fractional CO2 laser is a step down from full ablation and works on smaller fractions of the skin, but it still has some surface disruption and a recovery period of a few days. The Erbium Fibre Laser occupies a different position altogether because it is non-ablative, the outer skin surface is not damaged or removed. The laser energy passes through the epidermis and acts on the dermal layer underneath, warming the tissue and triggering collagen production without breaking the skin's surface. This approach is sometimes described as working from the inside out the improvement comes from new collagen forming beneath the surface rather than from removing damaged skin from the top. The result is that patients can typically return to work the same day or the next day, making it one of the more practical acne scar laser treatments in Delhi for busy individuals who cannot take extended time off. The one-pass formula used with this laser also makes sessions faster and more efficient the scanner covers the treatment area evenly in a single pass without needing repeated overlapping, which reduces overall skin stress and makes the session more comfortable.

The treatment session begins with thorough cleansing of the skin to remove all traces of makeup, oil, and surface impurities. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and left for thirty to forty-five minutes to ensure the procedure is comfortable. Once the skin is numb, the laser handpiece is passed over the treatment area using the advanced scanning system. Patients typically feel a mild warmth or a slight pins-and-needles sensation during the procedure, which is well-tolerated by most people. Each session takes approximately thirty to sixty minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. After the session, the skin may appear mildly pink or flushed, similar to a light sunburn, which generally settles within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. There is no open wound, no peeling, and no visible crust or flaking in most cases. This is one of the clearest practical benefits of choosing a non-ablative approach the downtime is minimal and the skin heals quietly beneath the surface as the collagen remodelling process unfolds over the following weeks. Full results from Erbium Fibre Laser are not visible immediately this is not a treatment that gives dramatic overnight changes. Instead, the improvement is gradual and progressive. Most patients begin to notice a visible difference in scar depth and skin texture after two to three sessions, with the best results becoming apparent after completing the full course of treatment and allowing time for the newly stimulated collagen to mature.

At Dadu Medical Centre, the acne scar doctors in Delhi recommend a course of three to six sessions for the Erbium Fibre Laser, spaced about three to four weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the type of scars, how deep they are, and how well each individual's skin responds to the treatment. For mild to moderate scarring, three to four sessions may be sufficient. For more significant scarring spread across a larger area, a longer course may be advised. Dr. Nivedita Dadu evaluates each patient's scar type, skin tone, and overall skin condition before designing a treatment plan, ensuring that the Erbium Fibre Laser is being used on the right kind of scars where it will perform best. Between sessions and after the full course, patients are advised to use a good broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen every day without exception, since freshly treated skin is more vulnerable to UV damage and post-treatment sun exposure can interfere with results. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh exfoliants on the treated skin between sessions, keep the skin moisturised with a gentle non-comedogenic product, and follow the post-care routine given by the clinic team precisely. For those who have been considering acne scar treatment in Delhi but have been put off by concerns about recovery time, the Erbium Fibre Laser offers a middle ground that is both clinically effective and practically manageable.
