This is a reference on the use of lasers in cutaneous surgical procedures. Internationally recognized experts share their knowledge - both scholarly and practical - of the scientific principles, instruments, and techniques employed in cutaneous laser surgery. The first section summarizes the theories and principles that underlie current laser surgical procedures, including a chapter on the history of their development. The second section covers the various types of lasers that are widely used in cutaneous procedures, along with information on selecting the appropriate type of laser for the treatment of specific lesions. The third section provides information on newer, more experimental laser techniques. The final section deals with practical issues in cutaneous laser surgery such as psychosocial aspects, safety, training/credentialling requirements, and establishing an office-based laser surgical unit.
