Laser Effects on the Skin

  • Chapter
Biomedical Aspects of the Laser

  • 107 Accesses

Abstract

An important organ for investigative studies of the laser is the easily accessible skin. This organ provides opportunities not only for direct investigative studies on the effect of the laser on living tissue, but provides also living tissue for research on treatment. It is for these reasons that dermatologists have been interested in the laser.
