Lasers in Dermatology
presents an excellent and complete survey of the numerous applications of lasers in dermatological therapy and research, the fundamentals of laser-skin interaction, and the various laser sources and tools in use. A comprehensive outlook to new instrumentation, such as pulsed lasers of ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, completes this up-to-date overview, which is indispensable not only to practitioners and clinical researchers in dermatology but also to engineers and laser physicists in biomedicine.
