Article Synopsis
- Nonablative subsurface heating using erbium-glass (Er:glass) lasers with contact cooling is being explored as a safer remodeling option in medical laser treatments.
- A study with 10 patients evaluated side effects of varying pulse numbers (3 to 8) on sensitive areas like the periorbital and perioral regions, noting differences in response based on location.
- Results indicate that effective contact cooling and the number of pulses used are critical for minimizing side effects and achieving consistent outcomes in treatments.
