title: Cutaneous laser surgery. An update.
abstract: New laser technologies alone cannot provide a solution to every medical problem or condition. However, the benefits associated with new wavelengths of light, different types of delivery systems, and innovative therapeutic regimens all have helped to create more effective forms of therapy for many patients who could not have been successfully managed otherwise. Continued evolution in this exciting area of medicine is certain to provide even greater refinement and better results in an ever-enlarging number of cutaneous disorders.
