When it comes to facial aging, the skin around the eyes is often the first area to show it. Thinning skin, dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines can give a tired or aged appearance—even when you feel healthy and well-rested. At the practice of Dr. Melanie Ho Erb, skin rejuvenation treatments are designed to restore a brighter, smoother, and more youthful look using advanced, non-surgical techniques.
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.
