Erbium Laser - Laser resurfacing - Removal of skin lumps and bumps

Dr. Gavin Chan discusses the various uses of the Erbium laser, including its use in the removal of skin lumps and bumps and laser resurfacing.

Dr. Gavin Chan, a cosmetic physician from The Victorian Cosmetic Institute, discusses the treatments that are performed including the removal of layers of skin and laser skin resurfacing. One original purpose of laser skin resurfacing was to take skin off a person's face in order to remove wrinkles, pigmentation and sun damage.

The benefits of the Erbium Laser treatment include the removal of lesions from someone's skin as well as the removal of lumps and bumps from his/her skin. The Erbium Laser has replaced a carbon dioxide laser. Some of the side effects that the carbon dioxide laser treatment caused included scarring of skin tissues and a white appearance of the skin.

The treatment that is featured in this video was performed by skin being shaved down. A man is shown having lesions of skin removed from his head with a Erbium Laser.

Dr. Gavin Chan closes the video by reminding viewers that the Erbium Laser is very useful for shaving down lumps and bumps in addition to covering the final passes of laser resurfacing.
