Abstract

Introduction

Laser has progressed significantly over the last three decades. Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (lasers) are currently employed by a number of medical and surgical specialties and used to treat a wide range of conditions.

Aim

This article aims to provide an insight into laser science and describe its current usage in the treatment of cutaneous lesions and its potential for future developments.

Conclusion

There are many types of lasers, each having unique properties that enable them to fulfil their task and achieve the desired result. Their applications will no doubt continue to expand with the parallel advancement in laser technology.
