Intralase produces Lasers that can be used for eye surgery. The eye surgery that can be performed is called LASIK and this stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis.

Do lasers emit gamma rays?

No. Lasers produce coherent light.


What are the advantages of IntraLase Lasik compared to Traditional Lasik?

The benefits of IntraLase Lasik is it's suppose to give better vision. Patients where tested in each eye and the preferred IntraLase Lasik over Traditional Lasik.


What are Gas Lasers?

Gas lasers are a type of laser that uses a gas mixture as the laser medium to produce coherent light. The gas mixture is typically excited by an electrical discharge or other means to generate the laser beam. Gas lasers are used in various applications such as cutting, marking, welding, and scientific research.


What type of electromagnetic wave does lasik produce explain?

It produces an UltraViolet electromagnetic wave. This can vary because there are several different lasers that can be used in lasik surgery.


What is the difference between lasers and tunable lasers?

All tunable LASERs are LASERS, however not all LASERS are tunable. In a tunable laser the lasing medium, which is typically a gas, dye or crystal, can be altered to produce slightly different frequencies, thus allowing the laser to be 'tuned' or frequency changed where most LASERS produce a very narrow band of radiation frequencies.


What is the difference between cold and hot lasers?

Cold lasers are safer and deal less pain than hot lasers. Cold lasers are usually used for repairing skin damage and treating pain and inflammation. Hot lasers are simply used for burning things.


What type of lasers does Erchonia manufacture?

Since the early 1970s Erchonia lasers have been classified by wavelength and maximum output powers into four classes. The lasers are used in treatment of neck and shoulder pain, breast augmentation, acne, laser assisted body augmentation. The types of lasers they use for these treatments include 3LT Lasers, Custom Design Lasers and Zerona Lasers.


What light is produced by lasers?

Lasers produce coherent light, which means the waves are aligned and have a consistent phase. This produces a concentrated, intense beam of light with very little divergence.


Why are blue lasers preferable to red lasers?

Blue lasers are preferable to red lasers primarily due to their shorter wavelength, which allows them to focus more tightly and produce higher resolution images. This characteristic makes blue lasers particularly advantageous in applications like optical storage (e.g., Blu-ray discs) and high-definition displays. Additionally, blue lasers can emit more light energy, resulting in brighter outputs compared to red lasers.


How can lasers be used to treat wrinkles?

Lasers can be used to treat wrinkles by a laser resurfacing procedure. It can be done with two types of lasers: one that removes thin layers of skin and the other type that stimulates collagen growth.


Does laser have two colors?

Yes, lasers can produce light of different colors depending on the materials used in the laser and its operating conditions. Some lasers emit a single color of light, while others can emit multiple colors simultaneously.


Do laser produce sound?

No, lasers do not produce sound. They emit light which can be used in various applications, but they do not generate any audible noise.
