title: Simultaneously combined ER:YAG and carbon dioxide laser (derma K) for skin resurfacing.
abstract: The simultaneously combined Er:YAG and carbon dioxide laser is ideally suited for treating deeper wrinkles with greater accuracy than either laser alone. By combining the precise ablative properties of the Er:YAG laser with the coagulative properties of the carbon dioxide laser, it is possible to control the depth of skin resurfacing to minimize complications and improve difficult and substantial wrinkles.
