This is a great opportunity to purchase digital copies of presentations from the 2018 American Laser Study Club’s . The presentations are based on a wide variety of medical, dental and veterinary laser topics including laser frenectomy, laser dentistry and oral surgery, veterinary laser surgery and dentistry, dermatology and cosmetic laser surgery, and laser-tissue interaction.

The CO₂ laser is the best suited surgical laser for the blepharoplasty procedure because, both cutting and hemostasis is achieved photo-thermally (radiantly).[1] Below we answer some of the most commonly asked questions about laser blepharoplasty surgery and LightScalpel CO₂ lasers. In addition, we provide some video examples of laser blepharoplasty procedures.

Dr. Steven Selchow and his team at Rejuv Skin and Hair Clinic successfully use the flexible waveguide CO₂ laser for the removal of benign moles, bumps, skin tags, and warts. The 10.6 micron CO₂ laser is regarded as superior to a conventional scalpel or cryotherapy techniques as it precisely targets only the affected area. Because of its ability to achieve hemostasis and a very thin zone of thermal necrosis (around 50 microns), the CO₂ laser allows for a more conservative excision/ablation than a blade or cryotherapy.

Edward M. Zimmerman, MD (Las Vegas Laser & Lipo), has kindly shared with us another clinical case. Here are the pre- and 1-month post-operative photos of a . The results look amazing!

Another impressive case from Edward M. Zimmerman, MD:  pre-op, immediately post-op and 6 weeks post-op photos of the  LightScalpel CO2 laser assisted removal (vaporization) of benign skin lesions. The patient was thrilled and so are we!
