This allows the practitioner to accommodate the laser pulse duration and its fluence according to the needs of the specific application Fig. . By means of digital online energy regulation the energy of each pulse is actively controlled to match the required value while the laser is in operation. This enables the practitioner to treat selected tissues without heating the surrounding tissue unnecessarily. With a short pulse width the VSP-shaped Er YAG laser induces minimal thermal effects to underlying tissue while rejuvenating the superficial skin layers through ablation of the allows the practitioner to offer effective skin rejuvenation treat ments with higher comfort levels and shorter recovery. By increasing the pulse duration more heat is diffused in the skin and a resulting collateral thermal effect is achieved. Long-pulsed lasers characteristically have pulse durations of the order of milliseconds in contrast to short-pulse durations of the order of microseconds. These thermal effects produce pronounced collagen contraction and new collagen stimulation in the dermis. Clinical trials have proven a light ablative effect on the epidermis relatively noninvasive stimulation of new collagen formation and no post-treatment downtime. Fotona s
