What are The Common Lasers And Ipl Used In Dermasurgery
Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Laser
The CO2 laser system can be used in several ways: "focused" for cutting skin without bleeding; "defocused" for superficially vaporizing skin; and "ultra pulsed" for facial resurfacing.By delivering very powerful, rapid pulsing or scanning of the latest generation of CO2 lasers, dermasurgeons are able to resurface the skin for cosmetic improvement. This technique removes fine lines and wrinkles of the face, smoothes acne scars, and rejuvenates aging and sun-damaged skin as it contours the skin surface.
When the CO2 laser's energy is defocused and not continuous (pulsed), the dermasurgeon can treat warts, shallow tumors and certain precancerous conditions.
When the CO2 laser energy is continuous and focused into a small spot of light, the beam is able to cut the skin. It is used in this way to remove skin cancers, to treat a variety of nonvascular and pigmented lesions and for eyelid operations. This technique is also used to remove warts and for some surgical incisions.
Erbium (Er):yag Lasercarbon Dioxide (CO2) Laser
The high-powered erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser produces energy in a wavelength that gently penetrates the skin, is readily absorbed by water and scatters the heat effects of the laser light. These properties enable dermasurgeons to remove thin layers of aged and sun-damaged skin tissue with exquisite precision while protecting healthy surrounding tissue. The Er:YAG laser is commonly used for skin resurfacing to improve moderate facial wrinkles, mild surface scars or splotchy skin discolorations. Newer Er:YAG lasers have an extended pulse duration that allows them to act in a similar manner to the CO2 laser. Your dermasurgeon is best able to determine which of these lasers, alone or in combination, are best suited to correct your specific concern.
QSWITCH Laser (1064um& 532um)
We use QSW laser technology for removing birthmarks and tattoos. It is very effective for treating pigmented lesions, haemangiomas, leg thread veins, liver spots , freckles, burn scars, dark circles , port wines scars etc.,
