Taylor DeBuskGUEST
But laser is one of the things that we can do intraoperatively to help address the skin itself.
Taylor DeBuskGUEST
So what the laser that I love is the erbium.
Taylor DeBuskGUEST
Erbium and CO2 are the big ones, uh, ablative lasers that a lot of patients are aware of.
Taylor DeBuskGUEST
Erbium is not as hot, not as deep, typically dependent on, you know, your, your settings.
Taylor DeBuskGUEST
What it does is it resurfaces the top layer of skin so that epidermis will grow back thicker and tighter.
Taylor DeBuskGUEST
And erbium is a really great one because it is lower risk for a lot of patients, uh, with different skin tones.
Radulf BurntwineVOICE_ACTOR
No words as he washed her vitals in a basin and pushed them into the cavity of her ruined gut.
Radulf BurntwineVOICE_ACTOR
Her first words were a plea for relief, a request for the dull fog of Erbium.
Radulf BurntwineVOICE_ACTOR
She indulged herself, knowing what was to come.
Radulf BurntwineVOICE_ACTOR
In a final act of depravity, shock, or the delirium of overdose, she opened herself to him.

You have the CO2 laser operating it at a wavelength of 10,600 nanometers.
speaker_1HOST
and the Erbium.YAG laser operating at 2,940 nanometers.
speaker_0HOST
Now the CO2 lasers are the older technology, right? How does that one interact with the tissue?
speaker_1HOST
The CO2 laser is what we call fractional microablative.
speaker_1HOST
Right, right.
speaker_1HOST
That's a very common misconception.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah, but the Erbium.YAG operates in a completely different mode, specifically a non-ablative smooth mode, right? It's not punching microscopic holes in the tissue or vaporizing anything.
speaker_1HOST
Exactly.
speaker_1GUEST
Exactly.
speaker_1GUEST
And across the board, whether we are looking at ablative lasers like the Pixel CO2 or the Encantilase, Erbium, Y-Kativa, or even non-ablative RF platforms like Votiva, there is a remarkably standard cadence.
speaker_1GUEST
It's been pretty firmly established in the clinical guidelines.
speaker_0HOST
So what's the magic number for the appointments? Like how often are you going in?
Jeff NielsenHOST
Okay.
Jeff NielsenHOST
Um, continuing with Erbium, phonetic alphabet fun.
Jeff NielsenHOST
By the way, Erbium is the guy that came up with the whole idea and concept and-
Liz PiperPANELIST
Of the J number
Jeff NielsenHOST
... and, uh, app of, uh, the in Jeff number, the, the J number.
Liz PiperPANELIST
Yeah.
Jeff NielsenHOST
We're the flyers.
Liz PiperPANELIST
I lo- we love Erbium
Rod RohrichHOST
In the proper hands, the proper technique, the proper setting, the proper lasers are great.
Rod RohrichHOST
I prefer Erbiums, I prefer cold lasers, cold Erbium lasers.
Rod RohrichHOST
I love the UltraClear because you can treat every skin type.
Rod RohrichHOST
And I've talked about that in a previous Roark Notes podcast, especially with Dr. Lupo.
Stephen SoarGUEST
You could do that monthly.
Stephen SoarGUEST
With a CO2 laser or a fractional blade of laser like our UltraClear or Erbium, those can be done regularly.
Stephen SoarGUEST
either very, very superficial, barely scratching the surface.
Stephen SoarGUEST
That could be done every month or six weeks apart for a few.
