What is it?

Its 10,600nm wavelength is strongly absorbed by water in the skin, precisely vaporizing tissue. Because it targets water rather than melanin, it's mainly used to shave off raised lesions (seborrheic keratosis, warts, moles, etc.) rather than flat pigmentation such as melasma.

Who it's for

Removal of raised benign lesions such as seborrheic keratosis, age spots, raised moles, milia, and warts.
