This paper deals with non‐invasive erbium: yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser drug delivery methods, i.e. laser optoacoustic (OA) impregnation, enhanced laser OA impregnation, laser injection, and laser OA injection. Preliminary in vitro experiments on stratum corneum laser ablation, enhanced diffusion, brilliant green laser injection into both gelatinous gel and an autopsy piglet skin, and research on laser OA injection have been conducted. The vacuum suction mechanism of laser drug injection is discussed.
