title: Lasers in dermatology: a review.
abstract: The revolution in laser technology has had a significant impact on medicine in general and dermatology in particular and has piqued the interest of physicians, the lay public, and the media. Advances in laser therapy have dramatically improved the clinicians' ability to treat cosmetic and noncosmetic skin lesions safely and effectively. The number and variety of skin problems amenable to laser treatment continues to grow. We will provide a review of the major cosmetic and therapeutic applications of laser therapy.
