Objectives: The future that lies before us is very bright and promising because there are now a myriad of lasers and light-based tools for treating various dermatological lesions, all characterized by specific advantages and disadvantages, and all offering a very favorable risk benefit ratio, but only when used by skilled physicians.
Introduction: Extreme power, coherence, well-defined wavelength, ability to generate very brief pulses, and to focus tightly, are features of lasers important to their medical applications. In dermatology we use lasers mainly as surgical tools to heat or vaporize cells and tissue with precision and often with selectively, affecting light-absorbing targets within the skin.
Materials / method: A specific and honest discussion with the patient is essential before the laser session; during this consultation realistic objectives, potential complications and side effects should be always discussed with the patient.A careful discussion of the laser procedure with photographic images is useful to increase the compliance of the patient.
Results: The physicians should always keep in mind two famous phrases “If you don’t need the laser, don’t use it, Leon Goldman” and “Nil nocere, Hippocrates”.
Conclusion: The selection of the correct laser equipment and settings, the pre and post-operative care are crucial for the success.
