Laser resurfacing precisely removes controlled areas or layers of superficial skin. During healing, the epidermis re-forms and remodelling within the treated skin can improve texture, fine lines and selected types of scarring. The Er:YAG wavelength produces less residual thermal injury than traditional CO₂ resurfacing, allowing precise control over the depth of treatment.
What is laser skin resurfacing, and how does it work?
Laser skin resurfacing uses controlled laser energy to remove microscopic columns or broader areas of superficial skin, depending on the treatment mode selected. As the skin heals, the epidermis re-forms and gradual remodelling can improve surface texture, fine lines, selected scars and signs of sun damage.
At Rejuvena, we use the Dermablate 2940 nm Er:YAG Cool Laser™. This wavelength is strongly absorbed by water within the skin, allowing tissue to be precisely ablated with limited residual thermal injury. Treatment can range from gentle fractional resurfacing to deeper fully ablative resurfacing, with the depth and density selected according to your skin, clinical concern and acceptable recovery time.
Because Er:YAG generally produces less residual thermal injury than traditional CO₂ resurfacing, it may offer a more controlled recovery and a lower risk of some heat-related complications. However, all ablative resurfacing carries risks, including pigmentary change, and treatment must be individually planned — particularly in darker skin tones.
The underlying mechanism and comparison with CO₂ are supported by established Er:YAG principles — see this NCBI clinical overview.

Three levels of Cool Laser™ resurfacing
Not every patient needs the same depth of resurfacing. At Rejuvena, your treatment is selected according to your skin, the concern being treated, the degree of improvement sought and the recovery time you can accommodate.
CoolGlow™
Our gentlest “baby” superficial fractional resurfacing treatment is designed to refresh the skin while preserving surrounding untreated tissue to support faster recovery.
- Best suited for Dullness, early textural change, enlarged pores, very fine lines, mild superficial sun damage and ongoing skin maintenance.
- Expected downtime Approximately 2–3 days
- What to expect Temporary redness, sensitivity and light dryness or flaking. A course may be recommended for gradual improvement.
CoolReset™
A more intensive treatment using medium-depth fractional resurfacing or a combination approach, selected according to the concern and treatment area.
- Best suited for More established uneven texture, fine lines, visible sun damage, selected pigmentation and mild-to-moderate atrophic acne scarring.
- Expected downtime Approximately 5 days
- What to expect Redness, mild swelling, sensitivity and visible flaking or bronzing as the skin renews. Residual redness may continue after the initial recovery period.
CoolRenew™
Our most intensive resurfacing option, involving controlled full-field ablation for patients requiring greater correction and able to accommodate a longer recovery.
- Best suited for More established lines, significant photodamage, pronounced textural irregularity and selected deeper scars following careful clinical assessment.
- Expected downtime Approximately 7–10 days
- What to expect More pronounced redness, swelling, oozing or crusting during the early healing stage, followed by re-epithelialisation. Residual redness may persist beyond the initial 7–10-day recovery period.
Downtime is approximate and varies according to treatment depth, area, individual healing response and aftercare. Not every treatment level is appropriate for every skin type or concern. Your recommended option will be confirmed following a doctor-led assessment.
Cool Laser (Er:YAG) and CO₂ resurfacing — understanding the difference
Er:YAG and CO₂ are both established ablative resurfacing technologies, but they interact with tissue differently. The most appropriate treatment depends on the concern, required depth, skin type and recovery time — not simply which laser is described as stronger.
Dermablate Er:YAG · 2940 nm (CoolLaser)
The Er:YAG wavelength is very strongly absorbed by water within the skin. This allows precise ablation with relatively limited residual thermal injury and close control over treatment depth.
Potential advantages
- Precise, controlled ablation
- Less residual thermal injury
- Often a more predictable or shorter initial recovery
- Fractional, combination and fully ablative options
- May be suitable for a broader range of patients when carefully selected
Considerations
- Downtime varies from approximately 2–10 days according to treatment intensity
- Pigmentary change remains possible
- More intensive treatment is not appropriate for every skin tone
CO₂ resurfacing
CO₂ resurfacing creates ablation with a greater surrounding zone of thermal coagulation. This can provide additional tissue contraction but may also result in more prolonged redness, discomfort and recovery.
Potential advantages
- Effective for deeper resurfacing
- Greater thermal coagulation and contraction
- May be appropriate for more established wrinkles or scars
Considerations
- Recovery may be longer
- Greater residual thermal injury
- Increased risk of prolonged erythema and pigmentary change, particularly in darker skin tones
Neither technology is automatically better for every patient. At Rejuvena, the treatment method and depth are selected following an individual assessment of your skin and treatment goals.
Your resurfacing journey — step by step
Doctor-led assessment
We assess your skin, medical history, pigmentation risk and treatment goals before recommending CoolGlow™, CoolReset™ or CoolRenew™. We will also discuss realistic improvement, recovery and whether an alternative or combination treatment would be more appropriate.
Preparation and anaesthesia
Your skin is carefully prepared before treatment. Topical anaesthetic and cooling may be used to improve tolerability, with the approach adapted to the treatment area and resurfacing intensity.
Individually selected treatment
The Dermablate Er:YAG laser is used in fractional, combination or fully ablative mode according to your personalised plan. Treatment time varies depending on the area and level of resurfacing.
Early recovery
Redness, warmth, swelling and sensitivity are expected after treatment. Dryness and flaking may follow fractional resurfacing, while deeper fully ablative treatment can involve oozing or crusting during early healing. Detailed written aftercare is provided.
Skin renewal and results
Improvements develop as the surface heals and remodelling continues over the following weeks and months. Some patients benefit from one treatment, while others may require a course or combination approach depending on the concern.

AfterBefore
The advantage of Er:YAG resurfacing is the degree of control it gives us. We can tailor the treatment from gentle fractional resurfacing to deeper fully ablative renewal, balancing the improvement sought against the patient’s skin type, pigmentation risk and acceptable recovery time.

I went to see Rejuvena clinic few months ago after reading their reviews online. I was suffering with acne scars since many years and have tried few treatments from elsewhere. I had a consultation with Dr Nick who was very thorough during the consultation and he suggested me few different treatment options. At any time I never felt rushed or pushed to purchase treatments. 6 months fast forward I had laser skin resurfacing, injections and skin care and my skin has never been better. I am very thankful to the Rejuvena clinic to sort out my skin issue once and for all. Thank you very much
