title: Damage thresholds of skin irradiated by ultraviolet lasers.
abstract: The effects of pulsed radiation on animal models were studied. Erythemic responses to laser radiation were observed macroscopically and were examined histologically by both light and electron microscopy. Based on statistical analysis of the biological data presented in this study, skin damage thresholds were calculated for short pulses with lasers at wavelengths of 265 nm and 308 nm.
