Erbium-YAG laser

The erbi­um-YAG laser works at 2,940 nano­me­t­res. This wave­length is absor­bed by water even more stron­gly than with the CO2 laser, so rem­oval is more pre­cise and less heat rea­ches the sur­roun­ding tissue.

Appli­ca­ti­on

It suits the tar­ge­ted rem­oval of super­fi­ci­al skin lesi­ons such as sebor­rho­eic kera­to­ses, fibrom­as or small irre­gu­la­ri­ties, and the tre­at­ment of fine lines.

Good to know

Becau­se less heat deve­lo­ps, the skin heals fas­ter than after a CO2 tre­at­ment. In return the tigh­tening effect is smal­ler, as less heat acts at depth.
