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

Benefits of the Lotus III

  • Precise resurfacing with controlled depth
  • Lower risk of excess heat damage compared to traditional ablative lasers
  • Supports collagen production and skin renewal
  • Can be customized based on skin type and concern
  • Fractional treatment options allow for quicker recovery
  • Suitable for a broader range of skin types when performed appropriately

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.
