The 980nm ultrapulsed diode laser is a versatile tool for various disorders in dermatology. This laser type offers coagulation for vascular lesions with a low risk of scarring. It can vaporize cysts, warts, and cutaneous metastases.
Benefits in Vascular Treatments
Vascular Lesion Treatment: The 980nm wavelength is highly absorbed by hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells. This high absorption converts the laser's energy into heat, which coagulates and destroys the blood vessels.
Applications: This makes the laser effective for treating various benign vascular lesions, including:
