AB  - Since  1960,  when  the  first  laser  was  invented  by  T.H.  Maiman  at  the  Hughes  Research  Laboratory,  the  research  arm  of  the  Hughes  Aircraft  Company  in  Malibu,  CA,  research  into  and  development  of  lasers  has  blossomed  into  a  multibillion  dollar  industry.  People  have  been  especially  fascinated  by  the  capabilities  and  possibilities  of  “laser  light.”  Beginning  with  the  ruby  laser,  these  instruments  have  quickly  become  an  integral  part  of  many  medical  specialties,  including  dermatology.  Lasers  and  light  devices  are  now  used  in  almost  every  area  of  medicine  and  our  daily  lives,  including  DVD  and  CD  players,  grocery  store  scanners,  holograms,  and  even  traffic  lights.
