| Description | References 530 1. BACKGROUND The use of the carbon dioxide laser in dermatology has greatly altered the path by which we treat many skin diseases and understand wound healing processes. The carbon dioxide laser emits far-infrared light at a wavelength of 10,600 nm and is absorbed by water. Directing carbon dioxide laser light energy on skin results in a heating and vaporization of intracellular water resulting in tissue vaporization. This tissue interaction can be harnessed by mechanical and/or manual manipulations of the beam, allowing for predictable vaporization. Carbon dioxide laser systems have been shown to be quite Book Name: Principles and Practices in Cutaneous Laser Surgery |
