Over the years, dermatology has increasingly depended on laser. In turn, laser has made invasive procedures all the more unnecessary.

Technically, laser is a form of light, unique for its monochromatic, collimated, and coherent properties. Because laser is monochromatic, skin structures such as hemoglobin, melanin, and water, easily absorb it.

Dermatology clinics today exploit a wide range of laser technologies. They include the likes of copper bromide lasers, APTD lasers, krypton lasers, KTP lasers, copper bromide lasers, and so on.

One of the more well-known is the pulsed dye dermatology laser. Evidently, it uses a liquid dye, through which the beam of laser must pass to take another color. Usually, it produces yellow light, absorbed easily by hemoglobins.

Yes laser has been great step forward in a lot of medical treatments. I am thinking as well of the laser treatment that is used to correct short sight which has given so many people freedom from glasses. It truly is one of the steps forward in medicine that has really made a big difference to a lot of people.
