J-PLASMA™ and Laser have many similarities, but also some important differences.
Application of Energy
Both J-PLASMA™ and Laser involve the application of energy to an operative site. In the case of J-PLASMA™, the energy is transferred by a stream of ionized helium gas while in Laser, the energy is transferred in a beam of light.
Each can be adapted over a wide range of settings for multiple effects from relatively mild, as might be used in skin resurfacing, to intense and ablative, which could possibly be used for removing diseased tissue.
J-PLASMA’s additional benefit is having two independent, controllable variables that define the plasma stream’s range of effects. A clinician can control the amount of electrical energy placed into the stream, providing a heating effect (similar to the light intensity in a laser), and can also control the gas flow rate, which provides a cooling effect. This flow of gas can also help remove debris and push aside fluids, such as blood, exposing the underlying tissue for treatment.
