What is laser? Light
Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER)
produces an intense beam of light of particular wavelength
with insignificant dispersion over a short distance. This
property is utilized in dermatology to treat various skin
disorders.
How does laser help in
dermatology? When a laser beam is
directed at the skin, it is absorbed by the water, naturally
occurring pigments like melanin and hemoglobin. It is also
absorbed by artificial pigments introduced by means of
tattooing. Lasers causes very precise tissue
destruction of the lesion in focus and leaves the
skin
tissue in the immediate surrounding undamaged. It is this
precision that has generated tremendous interest among dermatosurgeons to use it as an operative tool.
What are the different kind of
lasers? There are various kind of
lasers available today depending on the source producing the
laser. Each of them have specific range of utility,
depending on its wavelength and penetration.

What Kind of Laser Do I Need? The
most versatile and effective laser for dermatology is the
Long Pulse Diode Laser, which is a 'semiconductor' laser.
It produces laser beam in the wave length of 808 nm. It is
most popularly used for removal of black /brown hair and a
variety of other skin conditions. Diode lasers have
been found to work well on dark skin (Gallium Aluminum
Arsenide Semiconductor Diode laser, 808 nm). In dark skin
long pulsed diode laser is preferred. Diode laser in
long pulsed mode is also used for treatment of leg veins.
The LD80K listed above has the ability to function in long
pulse and short pulse modes.
What are the skin conditions
which can be treated by lasers?
-
Portwine stains can be
removed with Intense Pulsed Light and Diode Laser.
The treatment of portwine stains required a substantial
investment of time to achieve desired results (10-12
treatments over a period of 3-6 months is common.
-
Spider veins respond very
well to Diode laser and IPL treatments.
-
Scars (acne, stretch marks,
'ice pick' etc.) may be resurfaced and respond very well
to Diode laser and IPL treatments.
-
Moles and Nevi respond very
well to Diode laser and IPL treatments.
-
Lentigenes (age spots)
respond very well to Diode laser and IPL treatments.
-
Wrinkles can also be treated
by this technique. This procedure involves precise removal
of very thin layer of irregular skin.
-
Tattoos Q - switched Ruby
and Diode lasers are commonly used to remove red and
orange tattoos. Blue, grey and black tattoos respond
very well to Intense Pulsed Light. Multiple sessions over
several weeks to months may be needed to achieve
results. The color of ink, depth of pigment are also
highly relevant to efficacy.
