Is the erbium laser good for removing syringomas around the eyes?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Erbium (unless fully ablative sciton) doesnt work well for syringomas.  Co2 or dessication with radiowave does really well.  please see someone with expertise.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The Erbium- YAG laser is not my first choice for syringomas around
the eye. Our practice typically uses a fractional CO2 laser that is more
ablative for deeper penetration into the dermis, which is where syringomas lie.

However, Erbium-YAG lasers are still in the ablative category and
you may see some improvement using this laser for syringomas. With this laser,
you will see less downtime, less scabbing, less weepiness, less peeling, and
less bleeding after a treatment session. Since the Erbium-YAG laser does not
penetrate as deeply as the CO2 laser, it's my second choice for use on
syringomas for eradication of these pesky, benign lesions.
