Basic physics of erbium laser resurfacing.
The rapid growth in erbium laser resurfacing gives rise to a need for clinicians to become familiar with some new terminology and concepts. The design of erbium laser machines used for these procedures is described giving clinicians a basis for machine selection. The basic concepts of energy, fluence and overlap will allow the clinician to manipulate the laser parameters so as to achieve the desired clinical results.
