Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of erbium:YAG laser in removal of cutaneous lesions.

STUDY DESIGN: Data were collected after removing 363 benign, pre-malignant and malignant lesions in 27 patients at a dermatology and cosmetic laser surgery center.

RESULTS: All lesions were completely removed. Eight of 363 lesions recurred and the histological analysis showed complete removal of one malignant lesion with erbium:YAG laser ablation. There were no long term or permanent complications.

CONCLUSION: Erbium:YAG laser is safe and effective in removal of cutaneous lesions.
