Lotus III by Laseroptek: Er:YAG Fractional Laser Resurfacing

A Versatile Korean Er:YAG Laser for Resurfacing, Scar Revision, and Skin Rejuvenation

The Lotus III is an advanced multi-pulsed Erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) laser developed by Laseroptek, a South Korean medical laser company founded in 2000 with a strong global presence across aesthetic and medical dermatology.

The Lotus III is an Er:YAG laser used for skin resurfacing and a range of dermatologic concerns. It is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality while maintaining a more controlled and precise treatment approach compared to traditional ablative lasers.

How the Lotus III Works

The Lotus III targets water within the skin, allowing it to gently remove damaged surface layers while also delivering heat deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen.

It can be adjusted to focus more on surface exfoliation or deeper skin remodeling, depending on the treatment goals. This flexibility makes it suitable for both lighter rejuvenation treatments and more intensive resurfacing.

What the Lotus III Can Treat

Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin texture and tone
Enlarged pores
Acne scarring
Superficial skin growths such as skin tags or benign lesions
Select tattoo pigment

Recovery and Results

Recovery depends on treatment intensity:

Lighter treatments may involve mild redness and flaking for a few days
Deeper treatments may require up to one to two weeks of healing
Results develop gradually as the skin heals and collagen production increases. A series of treatments may be recommended for best results.
