  • Abstract
    The photothermal effect correlated with the interaction of CO2 laser with skin tissue, become a great interest for the physician and dermatologist because of its role in inducing hemostasis and interfering with wound healing. If the thermal effects are fully utilized with careful adjustable in laser irradiation, the maximum destruction in the treated area can be achieved with minimal collateral thermal damage. Therefore, a good understanding behind CO2 laser-skin tissue interaction mechanisms will result in more effective and safe laser light treatments for all skin diseases.
