How does the Lyra from Laserscope differ from other lasers?
The Laserscope Lyra Nd:YAG laser produces a very long wavelength which is pulsed over long time intervals. This combination of the wavelength, long pulses and high energies makes the Lyra laser unique when compared with most other laser systems. The principal reason for this design was to produce a system that would be safe and effective on all skin tones, including very dark and tanned patients. Before the Lyra became available, no other laser could be used on all skin tones. How long has it been around? Lyra is one of the newest lasers available, representing a breakthrough in cosmetic treatment. Laserscope recently received the first FDA clearance for the treatment of all skin types with the Lyra. No other laser manufacturer has received such clearance. It has been in production since August of 1999.
