PY - 2013 T2 - Lasers and Related Technologies in Dermatology AB - The field of laser-, light-, and energy-based technology has grown tremendously since the introduction of the first medical laser. These technologies continue to benefit from ongoing research and technical advancements, and the practicing surgeon must continuously learn and adapt to new and changing devices. The purpose of this book is to provide the laser surgeon with an updated comprehensive clinical guide to laser-, light-, and energy-based devices used in dermatology and dermatologic surgery. While a detailed overview of the physics of laser- and energy-based devices is beyond the scope of this book, a brief summary of the fundamentals of lasers and related technologies is included for general review. These concepts should help guide practitioners as they learn and modify techniques in response to new and changing technology.
