Erbium: YAG laser--an improved periorbital resurfacing device.
Erbium: yttrium aluminum garnet lasers are highly absorbed by water within the skin. This has reduced thermal effects associated with carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing, such as prolonged postoperative erythema, delayed healing, scarring, and pigmentation. The erbium: yttrium aluminum garnet is an ideal treatment for mild to moderate periorbital rhytids.
