Skin Surgery

Laser surgery has become a powerful and indispensable instrument in dermatology. The phenomenon at the basis of laser applications is the conversion of laser energy into heat. Depending on the temperature reached in a specific area, the thermal energy produced is capable of coagulating, vaporising or ablating a tissue.

Deka produces two lasers for dermatological surgery, one with a CO₂ source (SmartXide DOT) and one with an Er:YAG source (Smart2940 Plus). Easy operation is guaranteed by the advanced technology, innovative design and user-friendliness of the handpieces.

Since it is both reliable and repeatable, laser surgery is simple and ensures complete control of the vaporisation depth at all times while performing delicate and precise superficial ablations on numerous dermatological lesions.

Increasingly more accurate pulse management enables optimisation of the release of heat to the tissues, minimising undesirable side effects (scarring and dyschromic effects), and preserving the adjacent perilesional areas, which signifies rapid and efficacious re-epithelisation.

The possibility of performing precise and delicate vaporisation widens the potential range of application of ablative lasers in dermatology:

• sebaceous adenomas
• seborrhoeic and actinic keratoses
• actinic cheilitis
• scars (acne, surgical, traumatic, from chicken pox)
• acuminate condylomas
• chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis
• dermatofibromas
• superficial dyschromias
• pendulous fibromas
• telangiectasic ganulomas
• apocryphal cystomas
• Leukoplakia
• Favre-Racouchot's disease
• facial milia
• skin neurofibromas
• epidermal and sebaceous nevi
• otophyma
• papillomas of the oral cavity
• rhinophymas (glandular type)
• syringomas
• trichoepitheliomas
• warts
• xantelasmas
