LightScalpel CO2 Lasers in Dermatology
The CO2 laser beam photo-thermally cuts and coagulates the soft tissue at the same time. LightScalpel’s SuperPulse CO2 laser’s excellent cutting/ablation properties are due to a high absorption coefficient (approx. 650 cm-1) in the water-rich soft tissue. LightScalpel’s SuperPulse CO2 laser’s excellent coagulation/hemostasis properties are due to a close match between its coagulation/hemostasis depth of approx 50 micrometers and the sub-50 micrometer diameters of the blood vessel capillaries in the sub-epithelial/sub-epidermal tissue.
LightScalpel CO2 surgical lasers are designed for a broad range of clinical applications where it brings the following advantages over conventional treatment:
- Improved access to some areas, compared to the scalpel
- Reduced operative time in some procedures
- Tissue sculpting ability
- Easier removal of lesions without distortion of surrounding tissue
- Less bleeding, often with less trauma
- Less need for suturing
- Reduced postoperative discomfort
- Minimized edema
