Introduction
Medical lasers are sources of focussed light with precision and are used to treat different types of tissues found in the body. Due to the properties of laser light, which has a specific wavelength in a narrow beam, it creates a kind of high intensity light. Due to the cutting-edge innovations in the laser therapy, various types of lasers are being used to treat a variety of medical conditions, and this has proved to be a boon for the medical industry.
Some of the application areas of laser therapy include in the areas of cosmetic dermatology for the resurfacing of the skin, revision of scars and removal of tattoos. Besides, laser therapy is also used in lithotripsy, treatment of cancer, in surgeries to treat tissues, ophthalmology and dermatology.
