Ablative Lasers in Facial Skin Resurfacing
摘要
The introduction of the ultrapulse carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in 1994 marked the beginning of cutaneous resurfacing utilizing laser technology. The negative effects and increased downtime observed with the CO2 laser led to the subsequent introduction of the erbium-doped Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Er:YAG) laser. Thus, the adjustable resurfacing laser, a multimode Er:YAG system, was created.
