YAG laser meloplasty and blepharoplasty.
Twenty-eight patients have undergone facelift and blepharoplasty in which the YAG laser scalpel was used. The laser is able to produce an incision with excellent hemostasis. The patients in this series demonstrated markedly diminished blood loss during surgery and reduced bruising, swelling, pain, and discomfort postoperatively. Contralateral procedures done with the laser on one side and conventional surgery on the other side demonstrated greater benefit on the laser side.

The argon laser for cutaneous lesions.
A summary of the pathophysiology and clinical use of the argon laser in the treatment of cutaneous lesions is presented. The nonionizing blue-green argon laser light is absorbed by pigment, is converted to heat, and selectively destroys specific cutaneous lesions with sparing of adjacent dermal appendages and healing of the laser wound with minimal scarring. Vascular lesions (port wine hemangioma, capillary-cavernous hemangioma, telangiectasia), inflammatory lesions (pyogenic granuloma), nevoid lesions, tattoo lesions, and a variety of miscellaneous lesions have been successfully treated.
