Support Scalp Health with 1540nm Laser

Safe, Medically-Led Scalp Laser Treatments

The 1540nm fractional Erbium laser offers a medically-led, precise solution tailored to your needs.

For scalp treatments, the laser helps support follicle health by stimulating circulation and encouraging tissue remodeling. Used as part of a broader hair health plan it helps create optimal conditions for stronger, healthier hair over time. Book a consultation today to see how 1540nm Erbium laser can be tailored to your skin or scalp goals.

How 1540nm Erbium Laser Works

The 1540nm fractional Erbium laser uses non-ablative, fractional technology to deliver precise columns of heat into the scalp, while leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This targeted approach allows the area to heal faster than traditional resurfacing treatments, while stimulating the body’s natural repair processes.

For the scalp, the laser helps support follicle health by stimulating circulation and encouraging tissue remodeling. When combined with a broader hair health plan it helps create the optimal environment for stronger, healthier hair over time.

For some patients, the treatment can be combined with Radio Frequency Microneedling, enhancing collagen stimulation and improving overall results.

1540nm Erbium Laser Process At
Queensland Skin And Laser

Consultation
Your journey begins with a skin or scalp assessment to confirm suitability and outline a tailored plan.

Procedure
During treatment, the laser delivers micro-columns of energy to the skin or scalp. For the skin, a topical numbing cream may be used for comfort. Sessions usually take 20–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Aftercare
You may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to sunburn, for a few days. Most people return to normal activities quickly. For skin, results build gradually over several sessions as collagen remodels. For scalp treatments, consistent care and multiple sessions are generally recommended.

Your clinician will explain aftercare and realistic outcomes during consultation.

Possible Risks or Side Effects

When performed by trained professionals, fractional erbium is generally considered safe. However, temporary effects can include:

  • Redness or swelling
  • Mild flaking 
  • Temporary sensitivity
  • Rare complications such as scarring or infection

Following aftercare instructions and protecting your scalp from sun exposure helps reduce risks.

Cost of 1540nm Erbium Laser Treatment

Treatment costs vary depending on the treatment area, the number of sessions recommended, and whether combined with RF Microneedling. 

At Queensland Skin and Laser, we provide a personalised cost estimate during your consultation. Package pricing may be available for multiple sessions.

  • Scalp Treatment – from $350

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The erbium laser can be applied to the scalp to stimulate circulation and support a healthier environment for hair follicles. Book a consultation to see whether scalp laser treatment could support your hair goals.

Most patients describe a warm or prickling sensation during treatment. To maximise comfort, we use numbing cream as needed.

Most people benefit from 3–6 sessions, depending on whether the goal is scar reduction, skin rejuvenation, or scalp health. We’ll tailor your treatment plan to your specific concerns at your free laser consultation.

Downtime is usually minimal. Expect mild redness or swelling for 1–3 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Some people notice light flaking or bronzing of the skin. Most patients return to daily activities quickly.

Improvements often begin after the first session, but results build gradually over a series of treatments. Skin texture and scars improve as new collagen forms, while scalp benefits may take a few months of consistent treatment.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
