Not sure whether a shallower ablation is the right plan for your skin?
An assessment starts with how deep the concern actually sits and whether a surface treatment reaches it at all. We will say plainly what erbium would change, how many passes are proposed, what the raw days and pink weeks involve, what the pigment risk is in your skin, and what we would advise instead if a different class of treatment is the honest answer.
