Over time, natural aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors can lead to visible changes in your skin and facial features. From fine lines and wrinkles to volume loss and skin laxity, the signs of aging can appear gradually but often leave patients feeling like they no longer recognize themselves in the mirror.
At her oculoplastic surgery practice in Irvine, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb specializes in advanced treatments for facial aging and skin concerns, helping patients across Orange County, Los Angeles, and Southern California restore a youthful, refreshed appearance.
I have had brown spots from sun damage on my face for years. I have used various creams and laser treatments to lighten them. My first Fraxel laser treatment with Dr Erb was in 2019. She set realistic expectations, noting that the spots can and will return over time. The results were good, lightening the brown spots, some seeming to disappear, and wrinkles and fine lines reduced. A second Fraxel in 2022 and then again recently. Each time, results are good, giving me a more youthful appearance. It usually takes about 5 days for my face to heal. Friends say I look younger than my age. Dr Erb and her staff make me feel comfortable and address any concerns that I have. I will be back again when I want a refresh.
