Abstract

For years, dermatologists have treated vascular and cutaneous lesions with lasers, but only recently have cosmetic surgeons begun to realize the potential applications and advantages of lasers over convential “cold steel.” In the past lasers were inordinately expensive, complicated to maintain, and cumbersome to use. As a result of these problems and a relative lack of experience many physicians believed that lasers were “gimmicks” or “marketing tools.” Today, however, they are less costly, more compact, and easier to maintain. Handheld fiberoptics and contact tips simplify their mode of application and emulate the sensory feedback of a surgical scalpel. This article will attempt to foster a better understanding of lasers by reviewing the currently available systems, their individual functions, and their unique application.
