The target chromophore of the 2940 Er:YAG wavelength is water similar to the carbon dioxide laser, However, the cutaneous absorption of the Er:YAG laser energy is 10-fold more efficient by intra and extra cellular water than CO2 energy. Er:YAG energy, creates specific characteristics that allow for finer control of the energy and precise superficial tissue ablation. epidermal cells are removed while the dermal tissue is receiving gentle heating to stimulate collagen renewal. The precision and minimal residual thermal damage of extended ablation technology speeds up the re-epitheliaization process without leaving a demarcation line. This allows for the treatment of small problem areas as well as a full laser facial with minimal downtime and outstanding results without exposing the underlying dermis.
