BACKGROUND: Although CO2 laser resurfacing provides substantial clinical improvement for atrophic facial scars, the CO2 laser often results in excessive thermal damage to the skin. It increases compli...
Our study encompasses 61 patients (49 men--80.3%; 12 women--19.7%) treated from September 1998 through August 2001. Mean follow-up covers 25 months (range: 7-43 months). Our CO2-LAUP technique involve...
It has been the intention of this thesis to increase the knowledge on the development of cutaneous side effects from treatment with the argon laser, the copper vapor laser, and the pulsed dye laser, w...
Abstract
High power diode lasers reached the multi-kilowatt power range about four years ago. This became possible by special cooling and mounting as well as beam combination and beam forming technol...
BACKGROUND: The use of the laser as an auxiliary tool has refined the traditional technique for lipoplasty. During laser lipolysis, the interaction between the laser and the fat produced direct cellul...
Laser-diode (LD)-pumped high-power cw and passively Q-switched laser performance has been demonstrated with a disordered Nd-doped La(3)Ga(5)SiO(14) (Nd:LGS) crystal for the first time to our knowledge...
This study compares the histological changes occurring after argon laser and dye laser (operating at 577 nm) treatment of normal human skin. The initial effect of the argon laser is a diffuse nonspeci...
Twenty six eyes of thirteen patients with diabetic maculopathy (Fukuda's classification AI, AII, BI) were treated with frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser (6 eyes) or krypton laser (7 eyes) in one eye and ...
