A comparative study with a 755  nm picosecond Alexandrite laser with a diffractive lens array and a 532 nm/1064 nm Nd:YAG With a holographic optic

ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that both fractional picosecond devices produce vacuoles in the skin, which are most likely due to areas of laser induced optical breakdown (LIOB). In the patients (skin type II–IV) we observed scatter areas of hemorrhage in the skin, due to vascular damage with the 532 nm and 1064 nm, but not with 755 nm wavelengths. Lasers Surg.
