Why Erbium:YAG Lasers Offer Better Results for Skin Resurfacing Than CO2 Lasers

1. An Erbium:YAG laser wavelength is optimal for skin ablation.
Erbium:YAG lasers have a very efficient beam to target water and relatively limited hemoglobin absorption. The 2,940nm unique wavelength of Erbium:YAG delivers an almost instant skin ablation while limiting heat damage in the surrounding area.
This thermal damage is the biggest difference between Erbium:YAG and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) lasers. Because the absorption in skin tissue is relatively low in CO2 lasers compared to Erbium: YAG lasers (in both water and hemoglobin), their result is substantial excess heat in the surrounding tissue. The consequences of that are localized tissue death, more post-treatment discomfort, and greater instances of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH, dark spots) in CO2 lasers.
2. Erbium:YAG laser treatments create less thermal damage and are less painful.
Thanks to the greatly limited thermal effects of Erbium lasers, Erbium:YAG treatments are notably less painful than CO2 lasers, and patients do not require any anesthesia when receiving treatment for small lesions. These safety features make Erbium:YAG lasers the superior choice for treating delicate areas such as the periorbital region, neck, chest, and hands.
3. Erbium:YAG laser treatments have a lower risk of side effects, including hyperpigmentation and/or skin bleaching, compared to CO2 treatments.
Hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation are mainly due to thermal damage. Because the absorption in skin tissue is relatively low in CO2 lasers compared to Erbium: YAG lasers (in both water and hemoglobin), their result is substantial excess heat in the surrounding tissue. Excessive heating in surrounding tissues can result in either skin darkening (hyperpigmentation) or skin bleaching (hypopigmentation), which more likely can be a side effect of CO2 lasers.
4. Erbium:YAG treatments require a shorter recovery time compared to CO2 lasers.
Erbium:YAG lasers require a shorter recovery time compared to CO2 lasers because of the shallow depths of wounds they create. Furthermore, Erbium:YAG lasers deliver reduced thermal damage to the surrounding skin tissue, allowing for much faster healing compared to the deeper injuries and extensive thermal damage that CO2 lasers produce.
Our clinic has the latest Erbium:YAG laser – the Fotona TimeWalker. It is a versatile laser with combination Nd:YAG and Erbium:YAG platforms to treat a wide array of skin problems such as Deep Scars, Wrinkles and Sagging Skin, Active Acne, Rosacea and more.

NOW AVAILABLE AT CORDERM- PiQo4 Laser – The Latest and Most Advanced Picosecond Laser!

From the company that brought you the LightSheer Laser – Lumenis Be Ltd, comes the latest and revolutionary Picosecond Laser – PiQo4 Laser!
PiQo4 brings unique technology with combination of unsurpassed advantages:
1. Pico + Nano
First, the Nanosecond pulses are used to deliver short bursts of energy that break down the larger and deeper pigment or ink particles. Then, the area is rescanned with Picosecond pulses that dismantle the smaller and shallower particles. This combination yields far better results than using either one of the technologies on its own.
2. High Energy
The high energy levels of PiQo4 allow pigment/tattoo removal with fewer treatments compared with other competing laser systems. They can be set as either Nano or Pico, for dual pulse treatments.
3. Deep Reach
With PiQo4, your customers will appreciate the faster treatment results with shorter treatment sessions. PiQo4’s larger spot sizes allow deeper penetration into the dermis and better dispersal of the pigment or embedded ink particles.
4. Four (4) Wavelengths
Each pigment color absorbs a specific wavelength – PiQo4 offers 4 wavelengths in order to treat the broadest range of pigment/tattoo colors, on the widest range of skin types. Its four wavelengths – 1064nm, 532nm, 650nm and 585nm – target the most frequently used tattoo colors ranging from light orange to dark black.
PiQo4 is so versatile since it can treat all types of pigmentations like Melasma, Freckles, Dark Scars, Birthmarks, and all colors of tattoos, on all skin types, SPT I to VI (very fair to very dark). And even though it’s fast and powerful, there is very little downtime. So you can go about your usual activities even after the procedure!
