Histologic analysis of a 2,940 nm fractional device

An evaluation of the histological effects of a 2,940 nm fractional erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser device with adjustable depth and coagulation settings in a human abdominoplasty model. The goal of this study was to use light and confocal microscopy to determine the dimensions of the microthermal zones (MTZs) created by this device in the epidermal and dermal layers.
