Laser energy can be used to vaporize, ablate and cut soft tissue while providing lateral thermal injury capable of coagulating blood vessels. When using 1470nm energy, the mechanism of action is absorption by water in the soft tissue. The energy at 1470nm, which sits on a local peak of water absorption, provides highly precise tissue interaction, as all energy turns into heat immediately on the tissue surface. As such, the laser enables microsurgical precision at lower dosages, leading to less overall thermal trauma and better results. When utilizing 980nm energy, the mechanism of action is absorption by both water and blood in soft tissue. Specifically, 980nm laser energy provides almost equal absorption by blood and water in tissue, enabling precise cutting as well as very strong coagulation.
