YUP .... 2 watts ...... plus a touch screen display.

6 watts versus 8 watts.

The older waterlase is also Er-Cr-YSSG, meaning they've changed the Xtal
that produces the laser light,meaning probably the wavelength is changed
as well. The handpiece is also equipped with fiber optics for light.

Maybe not!

I am typing from their booklet ....

Waterlase YSSG
wavelength 2780 nanometers.

The Waterlase MD?

YSSG.
wavelength 2780 nanometers.

Identical!

I cross checked the specs from both ... same. as to YSSG.
