A CO2 laser, or carbon dioxide laser, is a type of laser technology used in various medical, surgical, and cosmetic procedures. It operates in the infrared spectrum at a wavelength of approximately 10,600 nanometers, which is highly absorbed by water molecules in tissues. This absorption allows CO2 lasers to precisely cut, vaporize, or ablate tissue with minimal damage to surrounding areas.
