GlossaryErbium-Glass Laser

emits infrared light for precise skin treatments and resurfacing

An Erbium-Glass Laser, often referred to as an Er:Glass Laser, is a type of laser that emits light in the infrared spectrum, typically around 1540 nm. It is commonly used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine for skin resurfacing and treating various skin conditions due to its ability to precisely target water in the skin, leading to controlled tissue ablation with minimal thermal damage to surrounding areas.
