A Brief History of Laser Medicine
KEY MILESTONES IN A REMARKABLE JOURNEY
1963
Laser enters dermatology
Dr. Leon Goldman published pioneering research demonstrating how laser light interacts with pigmented skin structures.
1983
Selective photothermolysis
Rox Anderson and John Parrish published the principle explaining how carefully selected laser pulses can target particular structures in tissue.
Today
Many applications in medicine
Laser technology now includes a range of wavelengths and techniques for hair reduction, pigmentation, tattoo removal, acne scars and other dermatological indications.
A LASER IS MORE THAN A BEAM OF LIGHT
Technology That Supports
Reliable Treatment
A medical laser is a sophisticated device designed to deliver controlled energy to specific structures in the skin.
Its performance depends not only on the technology itself, but also on the condition of the equipment, regular technical checks and servicing, appropriate maintenance and the knowledge of the person operating it.
Technology
The appropriate wavelength, pulse characteristics and energy delivery for the intended treatment.
Maintenance
Regular technical checks and servicing to support reliable and consistent performance.
Medical judgement
Appropriate patient selection, treatment parameters, eye protection and clinical assessment.
“Good laser medicine requires more than good technology.
It requires technology that is properly maintained, correctly operated and appropriately selected.”
It requires technology that is properly maintained, correctly operated and appropriately selected.”

How Laser Light Interacts with the Skin
DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS. DIFFERENT TARGETS.
Laser light is a concentrated form of light with specific physical properties. Different wavelengths are absorbed by different chromophores in the skin, such as melanin (in hair and pigmentation), haemoglobin (in blood vessels) and tattoo pigments.
The appropriate laser is not simply the most powerful one. It depends on the intended target, skin characteristics, treatment area and clinical indication.

EVIDENCE-BASED CARE. APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY. NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS.
At Medrose Medical Center, laser treatment begins with understanding the skin and the purpose of treatment. Different wavelengths and techniques have different indications, benefits and limitations. A thorough clinical assessment helps determine whether a laser procedure is appropriate, and when another approach may be preferable.
