    Hi folks: Here is an interesting one. These are the ones that if you dont have a laser you often will be leaning towards “watching” these irritation fibromas.

    They were induced by the brackets, and irritating the patient. I am scheduled in a couple of months to remove the brackets so I scheduled her to remove the tissue tags with the erbium , done without anesthetic with the chisel tip derm abrading them away. I used 10 Hz and 60-90 Hz without water on the tissue using topical only. At high mag I was able to follow the tags down til they were even.

    I will post the healing photos (gotta find them first) in my next post.

    Neat use of the Er:YAG laser that I hadnt seen anyone post so I thought it might be interesting.

    Here is the healing photos on Day 6. There is still one area I have to go back on (whiter) but the rest is much better and softer without the tag feeling.
